Power Supply And Ground Circuit Check

  1. CHECK FUSE 

    Check for blown combination meter fuses.

    CHECK FOR BLOWN COMBINATION METER FUSES

    Unit Power source Fuse No.
    Combination meter Battery 12
    Combination meter Ignition switch ON or START 30

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 2.
    2. NG: If fuse is blown, be sure to eliminate cause of malfunction before installing new fuse. Refer to POWER DISTRIBUTION .
  2. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Disconnect combination meter connector M29 (QR25DE) or M29 and M30 for (QG18DE).
    2. Check voltage between combination meter harness connector terminals and ground.
