ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

(a) Inspect speedometer operation

NOTICE:

  • The combination meter assembly receives the vehicle speed signal from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) via CAN communication. Therefore, perform the following inspection referring to values on the Data List of the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) because it is the source of the vehicle speed signal.
  • Data List values of the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) are used for this inspection. Therefore, make sure to perform this inspection after confirming that DTCs are not output.
  • If the tire size or tire inflation pressure is not within the specified range, or the tires are excessively worn, the speedometer indication error will increase. Therefore, make sure to perform this inspection after checking that the tire size, tire inflation pressure and tire wear are in the specified range.

(1) Warm up the engine.

(2) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(3) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(4) Turn the Techstream on.

(5) Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC/EPB / Data List.

(6) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.

Operating Light Control Rheostat does not Change Light Brightness

DESCRIPTION

The combination meter assembly receives signals through this circuit to adjust the illumination of the combination meter assembly. The combination meter assembly sets the illumination level based on the user operation of the light control rheostat switch in the trip switch.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the combination meter assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a combination meter assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in it will not match the information from the vehicle and a DTC may be stored.

HINT:

  • The illumination level of the combination meter assembly can be adjusted by pressing the light control rheostat switch (trip switch).
  • The illumination of the combination meter assembly dims when the taillights are turned on.
  • Setting the illumination to maximum brightness cancels the above dimming of the illumination.
