SYSTEM
The combination meter measures and displays travel time (ignition switch ON time).
Travel Distance
The combination meter calculates mileage, based on the following signals and displays the mileage on the
information display.
Ambient Temperature
 The combination meter corrects an indicated temperature, based on various signals.
 The combination meter calculates ambient air temperature based on the following signals, and the calcu-
lated value is displayed on the information display.
Correction Process (Temperature indicated soon after the ignition switch ON) A temperature indicated soon after the ignition switch is turned ON depends on the time from the ignition switch OFF to ON and a temperatur e detected by the ambient sensor.
When any condition described below is met, an ambient sensor-detected temperature is indicated.- Time from the ignition switch OFF to ON ≥ Predetermined time
- Sensor-detected temperature < Temperat ure at the last ignition switch OFF
Correction Process (Temperature at the Ignition switch ON) A temperature indicated when the ignition switch is ON depends on a vehicle speed, an ambient sensor-
detected temperature, and traveling time.
The temperature on the information display is corrected to an am bient sensor-detected temperature when the following condition
is met.
- Ambient sensor-detected temperature < Temperature on the information display
A temperature on the information display is no t updated when the following condition is met.
- Ambient sensor-detected temperature ≥ Temperature on the information display
- Vehicle speed ≤ 20 km/h (12 MPH)
A temperature on the information display slowly rises to an ambient sensor-detected temperature when the following condition is
met.
- Ambient sensor-detected temperature ≥ Temperature on the information display
- Vehicle speed ≥ 20 km/h (12 MPH)
A temperature on the information display rapidly rises to an ambient sensor-detected temperature when the following condition
is met.
- Ambient sensor-detected temperature ≥ Temperature on the information display
- Vehicle speed ≥ 20 km/h (12 MPH)
- When driving more than set time

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (COMBINATION METER)
On Board Diagnosis FunctionINFOID:0000000006221719
ON BOARD DIAGNOSIS ITEM
The combination meter allows the following diagnosis items with the on-board diagnosis function.
METHOD OF STARTING
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. While pressing the trip reset switch (1), turn ignition switch ON.
3. If the diagnosis function is activated with “trip A” displayed, the
mileage on “trip A” is reset to “0000.0”. (The same way for “trip
B”.)
4. Make sure that the trip meter displays “0000.0”.
5. Press the trip reset switch at least 3 times. (Wit hin 7 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON.)
6. The combination meter is turned to self-diagnosis mode.  Speedometer, tachometer, engine coolant temper ature gauge, fuel gauge, engine oil pressure gauge,
and voltmeter return to zero, simultaneously.
 The dot matrix dots on the information display (1) blink alter-
nately.
NOTE:
 Check combination meter power supply and ground circuit when the self-diagnosis mode of the combi- nation meter does not start. Replace combination meter if power supply and ground circuit are normal.
 If any of the dots are not displayed, replace combination meter.
