Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK X MODE SWITCH  .
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the connector from the combination meter.
  3. Measure the resistance when the X mode switch is operated.

Connector & terminal 
(i10) No. 37 - Chassis ground: 
Does the resistance change as below?
1 MΩ or more → less than 10 Ω
Go to step . Go to step .
2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN COMBINATION METER AND X MODE SWITCH CONNECTOR  .
Measure the resistance of harness between combination meter and X mode switch connector.
Connector & terminal 
(i10) No. 37 - (i70) No. 1: 
Is the resistance less than 10 Ω? Go to step . Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit in harness between combination meter and X mode switch connector
  • Poor contact of connector
3 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN COMBINATION METER AND X MODE SWITCH CONNECTOR  .
Measure the resistance of harness between X mode switch connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(i70) No. 1 - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more? Go to step . Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between combination meter and X mode switch connector.
4 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN X MODE SWITCH CONNECTOR AND CHASSIS GROUND  .
Measure the resistance between combination meter and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(i70) No. 4 - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance less than 10 Ω? Repair the poor contact of X mode switch connector. Replace the X mode switch if faulty. <Ref. to X MODE SWITCH .> <Ref. to X MODE SWITCH .> Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit in harness between X mode switch connector and chassis ground
  • Poor contact of joint connector
5 RECHECK FAULT  .
  1. Connect all connectors.
  2. Switch to X mode.
Is there any fault? Repair the poor contact of combination meter. Replace the meter case assembly if defective. 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.
