COMBINATION METER

• Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge, engine coolant temperature gauge, engine oil pres-

sure gauge (with 6 gauge combination meter), voltage gauge (with 6 gauge combination meter) and trip

computer (with trip computer) are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is built into the combina-

tion meter.

• Warning and indicator lamps are controlled by the unified meter control unit and by components connected

directly to the combination meter.

• Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter*, as well as the A/T position indicator display.

*The record of the odometer is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter is

erased when the battery cable is disconnected.

• Odo/trip meter and A/T indicator segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.

• Meter/gauge can be checked in diagnosis mode.

NOTE:

Under the following conditions, the meters will perform a homing function. The meter pointers will move down

slightly and then move back to the resting position. This is a normal design condition.

• Approximately 60 seconds after turning the ignition switch from the ON to the OFF position

• If the battery is disconnected and then reconnected

Unit

Description

Combination meter

Controls the following with the signals received from each unit via CAN communication and the sig-
nals from switches and sensors. 

• Speedometer

• Tachometer

• Engine coolant temperature gauge

• Fuel gauge

• Engine oil pressure gauge (with 6 gauge com-

bination meter)

• Odo/trip meter

• Voltage gauge (with 6 gauge combination 

meter)

• Indicator lamps

• Warning lamps

• Warning chime

• Trip computer (with trip computer)

IPDM E/R

IPDM E/R reads the ON/OFF signals of the oil pressure switch and transmits the oil pressure switch 
signal to the combination meter via BCM with CAN communication line.

Fuel level sensor unit
