REFUEL CONTROL
The combination meter accelerates the fuel gauge if the all conditions listed below are met, or the ignition
switch is ON from OFF.
 Ignition switch is ON position.
 The vehicle is not moving.
 The fuel level change by 15 (4 US gal, 3-1/4 Imp gal) or more.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE : System DiagramINFOID:0000000006221704
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006221705
 IPDM E/R reads the ON/OFF signals from the oil pressure switch and transmits the oil pressure switch sig-
nal to the combination meter via BCM with the CAN communication.
 The combination meter indicates engine oil pressure (Normal/Low) on the engine oil pressure gauge, based
on an oil pressure switch signal received via CAN communication.
VOLTMETER

SYSTEM
When recognizing an engine start, the combination meter controls the following items for producing the effect.
 Speedometer
 Tachometer
 Engine coolant temperature gauge
 Fuel gauge
 Engine oil pressure gauge
 Voltmeter
 Meter illumination
Meter and Illumination Operations During Engine-start Effect
The combination meter controls the following items during the engine-start effect.
NOTE:
The pointers are stopped and illumination is turned off while cranking the engine.
Engine Start Judgement
The combination meter judges “engine-start” and activates the engine-start effect only once when the follow-
ing operational conditions are all satisfied.
NOTE:
Engine-start effect exits when any of the above operat ional conditions is cancelled during the engine-start
effect.
Signal path
The combination meter judges “engine-start,” according to the following signals and activates the engine-start
effect function.
DRIVER WELCOME FUNCTION

SYSTEM
 The combination meter judges showing/hiding of “other warning”, according to the signals below:
Meter Illumination Level Indication
When receiving the following signals, the combination meter causes an interrupt on the information display to
indicate an illumination level.
WARNING CHECK INDICATION
 The combination meter can cause an interrupt on the information display to indicate a warning, based onsignals received from each unit and switch.
 The indicated warning can be checked with “WARNING” during the satisfaction of an interrupt indication
condition for each warning.
SETTING
Warning indication timing and time can be set.
Alert
Setting values for travel time, and low ambient te mperature can be adjusted to meet the user's needs.
Maintenance
Setting values for engine oil, oil filter, tire, and other maintenance items can be adjusted to meet the user's
needs.
Options
Setting values for unit and effect items can be adjusted to meet the user's needs.
Operating condition
Ignition switch ON
Mileage More than value set in “SETTING”

W/L ON HISTORY
 Stores histories when warning/indicator lamp is turned on.
 “W/L ON HISTORY” indicates the “TIME” when the warning/ indicator lamp is turned on.
 The “TIME” above is:
- 0: The condition that the warning/indicator lamp has been turned on 1 or more times after starting the engine and waiting for 30 seconds.
- 1 - 39: The number of times the engine was restarted after the 0 condition.
- NO W/L ON HISTORY: Stores NO (0) turning on history of warning/indicator lamp.
NOTE:
 W/L ON HISTORY is not stored for approximately 30 seconds after the engine starts.
 Brake warning lamp does not store any history when the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid level gets
low.

Check the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component and component conditions (wear,
damage) are normal.
BALL JOINT AXIAL END PLAY
Measure axial end play by placing and moving up/down with an iron bar or equivalent between suspension
arm or front lower link and axle assembly.
CAUTION:
• Never depress brake pedal when measuring.
 Never perform with tires on level ground.
 Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.
SHOCK ABSORBER
