• Odo/trip meter
• Engine coolant temperature gauge
• Fuel gauge
• Trip computer
• Interrupt indication
• Meter illumination level
• Setting
• Low fuel warning
• Loose fuel cap warning

ODO/TRIP METER

The combination meter calculates mileage using the vehicle speed signal from the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) and displays the mileage on the information display.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE

The engine coolant temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.

The ECM provides an engine coolant temperature signal to the combination meter via CAN communication.

FUEL GAUGE

Control Outline

The fuel level sensor unit sends a variable resistor signal to the combination meter. The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.

Refuel Control

The unit detects the driver is refueling the vehicle and accelerates the fuel gauge segment movement if the fuel level changes by 9 (2-3/8 US, 2 lmp gal) or more.

INTERRUPT INDICATION

Low Fuel Warning

The low fuel warning turns ON when the fuel level in the fuel tank reaches approximately 7 (1-7/8 US gal, 1- 1/2 Imp gal).

LOOSE FUEL CAP WARNING

The LOOSE FUEL CAP message will display in the information display when the fuel-filler cap is not tightened correctly. The message will turn off as soon as the ECM detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened. The ECM provides a loose fuel cap signal to the combination meter via CAN communication lines.
