3. Turn ignition switch ON while pressing trip transfer switch and trip reset switch at the same time.
4. After ignition switch is turned ON, release trip transfer switch and trip reset switch (within 7 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned ON).
5. All the segments on the odo/trip meter, A/T indi cator and ICC system display illuminates, and simulta-
neously the low-fuel warning lamp indicator illuminates. At this time, the unified meter control unit is turned

NOTE:
 Check odo/trip meter switch and combination meter power supply and ground circuit when self-diagno-
sis mode of combination meter does not start. Replace combination meter if the results of the check are
normal.
 If any of the segments are not disp layed, replace combination meter.
6. Each meter/gauge activates during pressing trip reset switch. (Then low-fuel warning lamp turns OFF.)
NOTE:
 If any of the meters/gauges are not activated, replace thecombination meter.

Fuel Gauge Pointer Fluctuates, Indicator Wrong Value or VariesINFOID:0000000001328449
1.CHECK FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATION
Test drive vehicle to see if gauge fluctuates onl y during driving or at the instant of stopping.
Does the indication value vary only during driving or at the instant of stopping?
YES >> The pointer fluctuation may be caused by fuel level change in the fuel tank. Condition is normal.
NO >> Ask the customer about the situation when the symptom occurs in detail, and perform the trouble
diagnosis.
Fuel Gauge Does Not Move to FULL PositionINFOID:0000000001328450

Does it take a long time for the pointer to move to FULL position?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2.QUESTION 2
Was the vehicle fueled with the ignition switch ON?
YES >> Be sure to fuel the vehicle with the ignition swit ch OFF. Otherwise, it will take a long time to move
to FULL position because of the c haracteristic of the fuel gauge.
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.QUESTION 3
Is the vehicle parked on an incline?
YES >> Check the fuel level indication with vehicle on a level surface.
NO >> GO TO 4.
4.QUESTION 4
During driving, does the fuel gauge pointer move gradually toward EMPTY position?
YES >> Check the fuel level sensor unit. Refer to DI-21, "Electrical Component Inspection".
NO >> The float arm may interfere or bind with any of the components in the fuel tank.
