COMBINATION METERS
Self-Diagnosis Mode of Combination Meter
INFOID:0000000003533486
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The following items can be checked during Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode.
• Gauge sweep and present gauge values.
• Illuminates all odometer, fuel, and engine temperature segments.
• Illuminates all micro controlled lamps/LE D's regardless of switch configuration.
• Displays estimated present battery voltage.
• Displays seat belt buckle switch LH status.
HOW TO INITIATE COMBINATION METER SELF- DIAGNOSIS MODE
NOTE:
Once entered, Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode will function with the ignition switch in ON or START.
Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode will exit upon turning the ignition switch to OFF or ACC.
To initiate Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode, refer to the following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON, while holding the odom eter/trip meter switch for 5 - 8 seconds. When the
diagnosis function is activated the odometer/trip meter will display tESt.
NOTE:
Check combination meter power supply and ground ci rcuit when self-diagnosis mode of combination
meter does not start. Refer to DI-16, "
Power Supply and Ground Circuit Inspection". Replace combination
meter if normal. Refer to IP-10, "
Removal and Installation".

• Depending on vehicle position or driving circumstance, the fuel in the tank shifts and the indication may fluc-
tuate.
• If the vehicle is fueled with the ignition switch ON, the indication will update slowly.
• If the vehicle is tilted when the ignition switch is turned ON, fuel in the tank may flow to one direction result-
ing in a change of reading.

Fuel Gauge Fluctuat es, Indicates Wrong Value, or VariesINFOID:0000000003533496
1.CHECK FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATION
Test drive vehicle to see if gauge fluctuates only during driving or just before or just after stopping.
Does the indication value vary only during driving or just before or just after stopping?
YES >> The fluctuation may be caused by fuel leve l change in the fuel tank. Condition is normal.
NO >> Ask the customer about the situation when the symptom occurs in detail, Refer to DI-18, "
