Warning / Indicator





2. GENERAL

- The combination meter is digital display type.
- The meter ECU maintains communication with other ECUs through the BEAN. It also maintains communication with the ECUs (or components) that compose the CAN and AVC-LAN through the gateway ECU.
- The meter ECU and buzzer are installed in the combination meter.
- The "READY" light comes on to inform the driver that the vehicle is ready to be driven.
- The low ambient temperature indicator light comes on to inform the driver that the ambient temperature is low (below 3°C (6.6°F)).
- The master warning light comes on with buzzer sounding if there is a malfunction in each system Problem Symptoms Table.
- The 2 inclination sensors are built in the combination meter to detect the inclination (longitudinal and latitudinal) of the vehicle.

3. OIL REPLACEMENT REMINDER WARNING LIGHT (w/ REMINDER WARNING LIGHT)

- 4,500 miles after ODO/TRIP switch is set, the maintenance indicator begins to blink for 15 seconds after the power switch is turned ON (ACC or IG).
- 5,000 miles after ODO/TRIP switch is set, the maintenance indicator comes on. For resetting, refer to the following procedure Component Tests and General Diagnostics.

4. FUEL GAUGE

- For the purpose of correcting the calculation of the fuel level by the meter ECU, 2 inclination sensors that detect the vehicle's longitudinal and latitudinal inclinations are installed in the meter ECU. The fuel temperature sensor are installed in the fuel tank to detect the temperature in the fuel tank.
- The fuel level is calculated by the meter ECU in accordance with the signals of the sender gauge located in the sub tank and the vehicle speed signal received from the brake ECU. At this time, corrections are made by the signals from the inclination sensor that detect the vehicle's longitudinal and latitudinal inclinations and the fuel temperature sensors that detects the temperature in the fuel tank. For the inclination sensor centered value setting, refer to the following procedure Component Tests and General Diagnostics.
