UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMPPFP:27760
System DescriptionNKS0006X
DESCRIPTION
For the unified meter and A/C amp., the signal required for con-
trolling the combination meter and triple meter are integrated in
the A/C auto amp.
Unified meter and A/C amp. corresponds a CONSULT-III func-
tion (self-diagnosis results, CAN diagnosis support monitor and
data monitor).
COMBINATION METER CONTROL FUNCTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. receives necessary information for combination meter from each unit.
Unified meter and A/C amp. converses with the combination meter transmits a signal through with com-
munication line (TX, RX) between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
Input/output signals between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
NOTE:
Combination meter performs fail-safe operation when unified meter and A/C amp. communication is malfunctioning. Refer to DI-7,
"FAIL-SAFE" .

WARNING LAMPSPFP:24814
System DescriptionNKS00264
OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP
Triple meter reads oil pressure signal from oil pressure sensor.
Triple meter judges an oil pressure condition by oil pressure signal, and transmits oil pressure warning
lamp signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with communication line.
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits oil pressure switch signal to combination meter with communication
line.
Combination meter turns oil pressure warning lamp according to oil pressure switch signal.
