INFORMATION DISPLAY : System Description
INFOID:0000000006221717
DESCRIPTION
 The combination meter receives signals necessary for controlling the operation of the information display from each unit, sensor and switch.
 The combination meter incorporates a trip computer t hat displays the warning/information according to the
information received from each unit, sensor and switch.
 The combination meter shows the following functions on the information display.
- Odo/trip meter
- Shift position indicator
- Trip computer
- Interrupt indication
- Warning check indication
- Setting
ODO/TRIP METER
 The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) r eads the rectangular wave signal provided by the wheel
sensor and transmits the vehicle speed signal to the combination meter via CAN communication.
 The combination meter converts the vehicle speed signal received via CAN communication to mileage, and it displays the accumulated mileage on the information display.
SHIFT POSITION INDICATOR
MANUAL MODE
 The combination meter receives the following signal and transmits the signal to TCM via CAN communica-tion.
 TCM judges a shift position, manual mode, and manual mode information, based on a signal received from
the combination meter via CAN communication and transmi ts the following signals to the combination meter
via CAN communication.
 The combination meter activates the shift position indicator, and manual mode information, based on signals received from TCM via CAN communication.
NOTE:
When receiving a manual mode shift refusal signal from TCM via CAN communication, the combination meter
blinks the shift position indicator lamp and allows the integrated buzzer to ring a beep tone. For further infor-
mation, refer to TM-54, "
SHIFT PATTERN CONTROL : System Description".
NON-MANUAL MODE
 Combination meter inputs non-manual mode signal from A/T shift selector (manual mode switch), and trans-
mits the signals to TCM with CAN communication line.
 TCM transmits shift position signal to combination meter with CAN communication line.
 Combination meter indicates shift position when receiving shift position signal.
TRIP COMPUTER
Current Fuel Consumption
The combination meter calculates current fuel cons umption based on the following signals, and the calculated
value is displayed on the information display.
Signal name Signal path

500 m (0.31 mile).
 The indicated values may not match each other when refueling with the ignition switch ON.
Average Vehicle Speed
The combination meter calculates average vehicle speed based on the following signals, and the calculated
value is displayed on the information display.
NOTE:
 Average vehicle speed on the information disp lay is updated approximately every 30 seconds.

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.
