- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)
- Disconnect the A6 and J34 connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Condition Specified Condition A6-16 (TACH) - J34-16 (S) Always Below 1 Ω A6-16 (TACH) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher NG : REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK : Go To Next Step
- INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
- Check the input signal waveform.
- Remove the combination meter with the connector still connected.
- Connect the oscilloscope to the terminal J34-16 (S) and body ground.
- Start the engine.
- Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
ITEM CONDITION REFERENCE CHARTItem Condition Tool setting 5 V/DIV., 10 ms./DIV. Vehicle condition Engine idle speed OK:
The waveform is displayed as shown in the illustration.
OK : REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
NG : REPLACE ECM
- Check the input signal waveform.
