TACHOMETER

ECM provides engine speed signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication line.

Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine speed signal to combination meter with communication line.

Combination meter indicates the engine speed according to engine speed signal.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE

ECM provides engine coolant temperature signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication
line.

Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter with com-
munication line.

Combination meter indicates the engine coolant temperature according to engine coolant temperature
signal.
FUEL GAUGE

Unified meter and A/C amp. reads a resistor signal from fuel level sensor.
Signal is supplied
–from unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 36
–through fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (main) terminals 5 and 2, and
–through fuel level sensor unit (sub) terminals 2 and 1
–to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 28.

Unified meter and A/C amp. provides a fuel level signal to combination meter with communication line.

Combination meter indicates the approximate fuel level according to fuel level signal.
ODO/TRIP METER

VDC/TCS/ABS control unit [with VDC] or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) [without VDC] pro-
vides a vehicle speed signal to the unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication line.

Unified meter and A/C amp. converts the vehicle speed signal to the 8-pulse signal, and outputs the vehi-
cle speed signal (8-pulse) to combination meter.

Combination meter uses the vehicle speed signal (8-pulse) to calculate the mileage, and displays it.
