STEP 2. Connector check: Combination meter 
connector C-04 and engine coolant temperature 
gauge unit connector B-109

Q: Is combination meter connector C-04 and engine 

coolant temperature gauge unit connector B-109 in 
good condition?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Repair or replace the damage 
component(s).

STEP 3. Retest the system.

Q: Is the engine coolant temperature gauge normal?

YES : 

The procedure is complete. (If no 

malfunctions are found in all steps, an 
intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer 
to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service 
Points-How to Cope with Intermittent 
Malfunction

).

NO : 

Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between 
combination meter connector C-04 (terminal 44) 
and engine coolant temperature gauge unit 
connector B-109 (terminal 1). 

NOTE: 

Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check 
intermediate connectors C-104, and repair if 
necessary.

Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter 

connector C-04 (terminal 44) and engine coolant 
temperature gauge unit connector B-109 (terminal 
1) in good condition?

YES : 

Go to Step 6.

NO : 

Repair or replace the damage 
component(s).

STEP 5. Check the engine coolant temperature 
gauge circuit.
(1) Disconnect the B-109 engine coolant 

temperature gauge unit connector.

(2) Connect a test lamp (12 V 

−

 3.4 W to 12 V 

−

 7.0 

W) to the wiring harness side connector.

(3) Ignition switch: ON

Q: Does the engine coolant temperature gauge in the 

combination meter fluctuate about half of it full 
scale?

YES : 

Replace the engine coolant temperature 

gauge unit.

NO : 

Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Retest the system

Q: Is the engine coolant temperature gauge normal?

YES : 

The procedure is complete. (If no 

malfunctions are found in all steps, an 
intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer 
to GROUP 00, How to Use

).

NO : 

Replace the combination meter.
