  1. CHECK SI-DRIVE SWITCH. 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the connector from the combination meter.
    3. Measure the resistance when the SI-DRIVE switch is operated.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i10) No. 31 - Chassis ground:

      Does the resistance change as below?

      S#/I: 1.71 - 1.89 kΩ

      S/I: less than 1 Ω

    • Yes  : Go to  5.
    • No  : Go to 2. 
  2. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN COMBINATION METER AND SI-DRIVE SWITCH CONNECTOR. 

    Measure the resistance of harness between combination meter connector and SI-DRIVE switch connector.

    Connector & terminal 

    (i10) No. 31 - (ST3) No. 8:

    Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

    • Yes  : Go to 3. 
    • No  : repair the harness and connector.
      NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
      • Open circuit in harness between combination meter connector and SI-DRIVE switch connector
      • Poor contact of coupling connector
      • Poor contact of roll connector
      • Roll connector is faulty
  3. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN SI-DRIVE SWITCH CONNECTOR AND CHASSIS GROUND. 

    Measure the resistance of harness between SI-DRIVE switch connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (ST3) No. 7 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

    • Yes  : Go to 4. 
    • No  : repair the harness and connector.
      NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
      • Open circuit in harness between SI-DRIVE switch connector and chassis ground
      • Poor contact of joint connector
      • Poor contact of roll connector
      • Roll connector is faulty
  4. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN COMBINATION METER AND SI-DRIVE SWITCH CONNECTOR. 

    Measure the resistance between combination meter connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (i10) No. 31 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

  5. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN COMBINATION METER AND CHASSIS GROUND. 

    Measure the resistance of harness between combination meter and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (i10) No. 38 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?

    • Yes  : Go to 6. 
    • No  : Repair the open circuit of harness between combination meter and chassis ground.
  6. RECHECK FAULT. 
    1. Connect all connectors.
    2. Switch SI-DRIVE modes.

      Is there any fault?

    • Yes  : Repair the poor contact of combination meter connector. Replace the meter case assembly if defective. Ref. to INSTRUMENTATION/DRIVER INFO>Combination Meter .
    • No  : The circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.
      NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
