COMBINATION METER

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL

54A-63

CAUTION

When the battery cable is disconnected or the 
combination meter is removed, the fuel gauge 
learned value will be erased. To let the display 
unit re-learn it, enter the vehicle speed (by 
driving the vehicle or entering simulated vehicle 
speed) and then stop the vehicle.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If only the speedometer does not operate, the 
engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> 
system, the combination meter, the wiring harness or 
its connector may be defective. Furthermore, 
incorrect level of fuel is shown on the gauge, 
because the display unit can not learn the fuel 
gauge.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Malfunction of engine-ECU <M/T> or 

engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>

• Malfunction of combination meter

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step 1. MUT-III CAN bus diagnostics

Use the MUT-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 
54D, Diagnosis 

− Can Bus Diagnostic Table 

P.54D-16

). After diagnosing the CAN bus 

lines, go to Step 5. 

Step 2. MUT-III other system diagnosis code

Check whether the MPI system-related diagnosis 
code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Diagnose the MPI system (Refer to GROUP 

13A, Troubleshooting 

P.13A-20

). After 

diagnosing the MPI system, go to Step 5.

NO : 

Go to Step 3.

Step 3. MUT-III data list

• Item No.82: Vehicle speed sensor malfunction 

flag (Refer to 

P.54A-74

.)

• Item No.83: Vehicle speed sensor definite flag 

(Refer to 

P.54A-74

.)

• Item No.84: Vehicle stopped flag (Refer to 

P.54A-74

.)

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Diagnose the MPI system (Refer to GROUP 
13A, Troubleshooting 

P.13A-20

). After 

diagnosing the MPI system, go to Step 5.

Step 4. Check the speedometer.
(1) Connect the MUT-III to the diagnosis connector.
(2) Use the MUT-III to enter simulated vehicle speed.

OK: The speedometer shows that 
simulated vehicle speed.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : 

Go to Step 5.

NO : 

Replace combination meter, then go to Step 
5.

Step 5. Retest the system.

Check that the speedometer works normally.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : 

The procedure is complete.

NO : 

Go to Step 1.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If only the tachometer does not operate, the 
engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> 
system may not be sending ignition signal, or the 
combination meter, the wiring harness or its 
connector may be defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of combination meter

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

NO : 

Go to Step 3.

Step 3. MUT-III data list

• Item No.87: Tachometer (Refer to 

P.54A-74

.)

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Diagnose the MPI system (Refer to GROUP 
13A, Troubleshooting 

P.13A-20

). After 

diagnosing the MPI system, go to Step 5.

Step 4. MUT-III actuator test

• Item No.84: Tachometer: 0 r/min

• Item No.85: Tachometer: 2000 r/min

• Item No.86: Tachometer: 5000 r/min

OK: The tachometer operates.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : 

Go to Step 5.

NO : 

Replace the combination meter and then go 
to Step 5.

Step 5. Retest the system.

Check that the tachometer works normally.
