Combination Meter / Fuel Meter / Horn

General Description

Combination Meter System Description

B947H19301001

This combination meter mainly consists of a stepping motor, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and LEDs (Light Emitting 
Diode).
The tachometer pointer is driven by the stepping motor.
The LCDs indicate followings:
Speed, Odo / Trip 1 / Trip 2 / Fuel reserve trip / Clock / FI (DTC) / Lap time counter / Panel light brightness, Gear 
position, Engine RPM indicator, Oil pressure indicator, Engine coolant temperature and Drive mode position.

LED (Light Emitting Diode)

LED is used for the illumination light and each indicator light.
LED is maintenance free. LED is less power consuming and more resistant to vibration resistance compared to the 
bulb.

Engine RPM Indicator Light

This speedometer is equipped the engine revolution indicator light. The engine revolution indicator light is adjustable 
from 5 000 – 13 750 r/min. (from 5 000 r/min to 10 000 r/min, every 250 r/min and 10 000 r/min to 13 750 r/min, every 
50 r/min: Initial setting: 11 000 r/min)

Combination Meter Disassembly and Assembly

B947H19306003

Refer to “Combination Meter Removal and Installation” 
(Page 9C-2).

Disassembly

Disassemble the combination meter as shown in the 
combination meter components. Refer to “Combination 
Meter Components” (Page 9C-2).

Assembly

Assemble the combination meter as shown in the 
combination meter components. Refer to “Combination

Combination Meter Inspection

B947H19306004

LED Inspection

Check that the LEDs “A” (FI, fuel, engine RPM, oil 
pressure/engine coolant, immobilizer (E-02, 19, 24, 51) 
and meter panel illumination) immediately light up when 
the ignition switch is turned ON. 
Check that the other LEDs “B” (neutral, high-beam and 
turn signal indicator lights) light up/go off by operating 
each switch. 
If abnormal condition is found, replace the combination 
meter assembly with a new one after checking its wire 
harness/coupler. Refer to “Combination Meter Removal 
and Installation” (Page 9C-2).

Stepping Motor Inspection and Adjustment

1) Check that the pointers calibrate immediately after 

turning the ignition switch ON and stop at zero point.
If abnormal condition is found, replace the 
combination meter assembly with a new one after 
checking its wire harness/coupler.

NOTE

• The pointers may not return to the proper 

position even turning the ignition switch 
on under low temperature condition. In 
that case, you can reset the pointers to the 
proper position by the following 
instruction.

• Complete the operation within 10 seconds 

after the ignition switch has been turned 
on.

 

2) With the ADJ button (1) pressed, turn the ignition 

switch ON.

3) Keep pushing the ADJ button for more than 3 to 5 

sec.

4) Release the ADJ button, then tap it twice.

Pointers will return to the proper position right after 
the completion of the operation. In the case of the 
pointers not returning to the proper position after 
doing above, replace the combination meter unit. 
Refer to “Combination Meter Removal and 
Installation” (Page 9C-2).
