REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BATTERY
TERMINAL CABLE
(a) Before performing electronic work, disconnect the
battery negative (-) terminal cable in order to
prevent it from shorting and burning out.
(b) When disconnecting and reconnecting the battery
cable, turn the power switch OFF and headlight
dimmer switch OFF. Then loosen the terminal nut
completely. Be careful not to damage the cable or
terminal.
(c) When the battery terminal cable is removed, the
memories of the clock, radio, DTCs, etc. are erased.
So before removing it, check and make a note of
them.
NOTICE:
When disconnecting the cable from the negative
(-) battery terminal, initialize the following
system(s) after the cable is reconnected.

FOR HYBRID SYSTEM ACTIVATION
(a) When the warning light is illuminated or the battery
has been disconnected and reconnected, pressing
the power switch may not start the system on the
first try. If so, press the power switch again.
(b) With the power switch's power mode changed to
ON (IG), disconnect the battery. If the key is not in
the key slot during reconnection, DTC B2799 may
be output.

GENERAL
• The combination meter is digital display type.
• The meter ECU maintains communication with other
ECUs through the BEAN. It also maintains
communication with the ECUs (or components) that
compose the CAN and AVC-LAN through the
gateway ECU.
• The meter ECU and buzzer are installed in the
combination meter.
• The "READY" light comes on to inform the driver that
the vehicle is ready to be driven.

METER – METER / GAUGE SYSTEM

4.

ME–9

• The low ambient temperature indicator light comes on
to inform the driver that the ambient temperature is
low (below 3°C (6.6°F)).
• The master warning light comes on with buzzer
sounding if there is a malfunction in each system (see
page ME-11).
• The 2 inclination sensors are built in the combination
meter to detect the inclination (longitudinal and
latitudinal) of the vehicle.
OIL REPLACEMENT REMINDER WARNING LIGHT
(w/ REMINDER WARNING LIGHT)
• 4,500 miles after ODO/TRIP switch is set, the
maintenance indicator begins to blink for 15 seconds
after the power switch is turned ON (ACC or IG).
• 5,000 miles after ODO/TRIP switch is set, the
maintenance indicator comes on. For resetting, refer
to the following procedure (see page ME-23).
FUEL GAUGE
• For the purpose of correcting the calculation of the
fuel level by the meter ECU, 2 inclination sensors that
detect the vehicle's longitudinal and latitudinal
inclinations are installed in the meter ECU. The fuel
temperature sensor are installed in the fuel tank to
detect the temperature in the fuel tank.
• The fuel level is calculated by the meter ECU in
accordance with the signals of the sender gauge
located in the sub tank and the vehicle speed signal
received from the brake ECU. At this time, corrections
are made by the signals from the inclination sensor
that detect the vehicle's longitudinal and latitudinal
inclinations and the fuel temperature sensors that
detects the temperature in the fuel tank. For the
inclination sensor centered value setting, refer to the
following procedure (see page ME-23).

HINT:
*: "b-off" indicates that the buzzer is OFF. "b-on" indicates that
the buzzer is ON. The buzzer cancel setting will be finished
(the odometer will display "ODO") if the ODO / TRIP switch is
not operated for 10 seconds or more. In this case, perform
step 11 to check that buzzer cancel setting is complete. If it is
not complete, start from step 1 again.
NOTICE:
When either the battery cable or the combination meter
connector is disconnected, these buzzers are set on.

CHECK DLC3
The vehicle's combination meter (ECU) uses ISO 157654 for communication. The terminal arrangement of the
DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO
15765-4 format. If there are any open or short circuits in
the chart below, perform troubleshooting with the "SFI

HINT:
If the display inidcates UNABLE TO CONNECT TO
VEHICLE when you have connected the cable of the
intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3, turned the
power switch ON (IG) and operated the tester, there is a
problem either on the vehicle side or tester side.
• If communication is normal when the tester is
connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on
the original vehicle.
• If communication is still not possible when the tester
is connected to another vehicle, the problem is
probably in the tester itself, so consult the Service
Department listed in the tester's instruction manual.

HINT:
Using the intelligent tester's DATA LIST allows switch,
actuator and other item values to be read without
removing any parts. Reading the DATA LIST early in
troubleshooting is one way to save time.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the
DLC3.
