Meter Illumination does not Dim at Night: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check for DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [01/2012 - ] .
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication system DTC is not output A
      CAN communication system DTC is output B

    B → See step   5 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT) 
    1. Operate the Techstream according to the display and select the Data List. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [01/2012 - ] .

      1. Remove the light control rheostat. Refer to REMOVAL [01/2012 - ] .
      2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
        6 (TC) - 5 (T) TAIL cancel switch off → on 10 kΩ or higher → Below 1 Ω
        5 (T) - 1 (E) Always 10 kΩ +/-20%
        7 (TR) - 1 (E) Light control rheostat fully turned right → fully turned left 10 kΩ +/-20% → Below 100 Ω
    2. Inspect the ODO/TRIP switch.
      1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
        4 (A/B) - 1 (E) ODO/TRIP switch on (Pushed) Below 100 Ω
        ODO/TRIP switch off (Not pushed) 1 MΩ or higher

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT) 
    1. Disconnect the E77 meter connector.

    2. Disconnect the E9 rheostat connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E77-32 (ILL+) - E9-5 (T) Always Below 1 Ω
      E77-33 (TR) - E9-7 (TR)
      E77-34 (E2) - E9-1 (E)
      E77-31 (TC) - E9-6 (TC)

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   8 

  5. Go to CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to  PRECAUTION [01/2012 - ] 
  6. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [01/2012 - ] 
  7. REPLACE LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT. Refer to  REMOVAL [01/2012 - ] 
  8. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [01/2012 - ]
