SHIFT-UP INDICATOR
Shift-up indicator can be used when shifting up at a constant
engine speed from any gear while driving. It becomes a guide
for shift-up timing.
Shift-up indicator flashes approximately 500 rpm before reach-
ing the engine speed set. It illuminates when reaching the
engine speed set.
Shift-up engine speed can be set by the shift-up indicator setting
mode on trip computer. Refer to DI-29, "
Shift-up Indicator Setting
Mode" .
NOTE:
There may be a time lag between the shift-up indicator illumina-
tion and the tachometer indication.
If the battery cable is disconnected, the set engine speed becomes 7,000 rpm.

Vehicle Speed Signal InspectionNKS0006R
Symptom: Speed indication is not displayed properly.
1. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. INPUT SIGNAL
1. Start engine and select “METER A/C AMP” on CONSULT-III.
2. Using “SPEED METER” on the “DATA MONITOR”, compare the value of data monitor with speed indica-
tion of trip computer.
OK or NG
OK >> Refer to DI-18, "Vehicle Speed Signal Inspection" of “COMBINATION METERS”.
NG >> Replace triple meter.
Fuel Consumption Monitor Signal InspectionNKS0006S
Symptom:
DTE (distance to empty) indication is not displayed properly.
Average fuel consumption indication is not displayed properly.
1. CHECK ECM (CONSULT-III)
Perform self-diagnosis of ECM. Refer to EC-116, "
CONSULT-III Function (ENGINE)" .
Self
-diagnostic results
No malfunction detected>>Replace unified meter and A/C amp.
Malfunction detected>>Check applicable parts, and repair or replace corresponding parts.
Oil Pressure Sensor Signal InspectionNKS0006T
Symptom: Indication is malfunction of oil pressure gauge.
1. CHECK OIL PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL INPUT
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Check voltage between triple meter harness connector M44 ter-
minal 8 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace triple meter.
NG >> GO TO 2.
Average vehicle speed indication is not indicated properly.
Replace triple meter. Trip distance indication is not indicated properly.
Trip time indication is not indicated properly.
Stopwatch indication is not displayed properly.
Indication is malfunction of voltmeter.
Indication is malfunction of oil pressure gauge. Refer to DI-40, "

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" .
