TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

When the signal from each ECU is received via the 
CAN communication, the combination meter illumi-
nates the corresponding display light or warning 
light, or has the multi information display to display 
corresponding information.

If the lights do not illuminate or the multi information 
display does not display normally, the wiring harness 
and connector(s) in the CAN bus lines, or the each 
ECU or the combination meter may have a problem.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The combination meter may be defective

• The each ECU may be defective
