Meter / Gauge System








METER / GAUGE SYSTEM:

TERMINALS OF ECU

1. CHECK COMBINATION METER (METER ECU)

















(a) Using an oscilloscope, check the signal waveform 1 of the meter.





HINT: As vehicle speed increases, the wavelength shortens.





(b) Using an oscilloscope, check the signal waveform 2 of the meter.





HINT: As vehicle speed increases, the wavelength shortens.





(c) Using an oscilloscope, check the signal waveform 3 of the meter.





HINT: Waveform changes as illumination dims ("A" becomes longer).

2. CHECK SUB WIRE HARNESS CONNECTOR

















Waveform 1:





(a) Using an oscilloscope, check the signal waveform 1 of the meter.





HINT: As vehicle speed increases, the wavelength shortens.

Waveform 2:





(b) Using an oscilloscope, check the signal waveform 2 of the meter.





HINT: As vehicle speed increases, the wavelength shortens.

Waveform 3:





(c) Using an oscilloscope, check the signal waveform 3 of the meter.





HINT: Waveform changes as illumination dims ("A" becomes longer).

3. COMBINATION METER INNER CIRCUIT
