  1. BASIC INSPECTION  .

    Before performing the diagnosis, perform basic inspection. Ref. to COMBINATION METER (DIAGNOSTICS)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>INSPECTION .

    NOTE:
    • Check the battery and its installation condition.
    • Check the related fuse.
    • Visually check that the related connectors are properly connected.

      Also, check the related ground terminal for looseness and corrosion.

    Is the check result OK?

    Yes  : GO TO  2.

    No  : Repair the defective part.

  2. CHECK FUSE  .

    Check the fuse for the combination meter. Ref. to WIRING SYSTEM>COMBINATION METER SYSTEM>WIRING DIAGRAM .

    Is the check result OK?

    Yes  : GO TO  3.

    No  : Replace the fuse. If the fuse is blown again, check or replace the short circuit of the power supply harness.

    After replacement, GO TO  7.

  3. CHECK CONNECTOR  .

    Check if the connector is connected to the combination meter and there is poor contact in the connector.

    Is the check result OK?

    Yes  : GO TO  4.

    No  : Engage the connector properly, or repair the faulty portion and check the operation.

    After the repair, GO TO  7.

  4. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT  .
    1. Disconnect the connector from the combination meter.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Use a tester to measure the voltage between the combination meter connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i97) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-)  :

      (i97) No. 2 (+) - Chassis ground (-)  :

    Is the voltage 10 - 16 V?

    Yes  : GO TO  6.

    No  : GO TO  5.

  5. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT  .

    Use a tester to measure the resistance between the combination meter connector and F/B.

    Connector & terminal 

    (i97) No. 1 - F/B fuse No. 37  :

    (i97) No. 2 - F/B fuse No. 6  :

    Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

    Yes  : Check the battery and the circuit between the battery and fuse.

    After the repair, GO TO  7.

    No  : Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.

    After the repair, GO TO  7.

  6. CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT  .

    Use a tester to measure the resistance between the combination meter connector and ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (i97) No. 40 - Chassis ground  :

    Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

    Yes  : Replace the combination meter. Ref. to INSTRUMENTATION/DRIVER INFO>COMBINATION METER .

    After replacement, GO TO  7.

    No  : Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.

    After the repair, GO TO  7.

  7. CHECK REPAIR  .

    Perform operation check to check if the trouble has been solved.

    Is the check result OK?

    Yes  : Finish the diagnosis.

    No  : Perform the diagnosis according to the basic diagnostic procedure. Ref. to COMBINATION METER (DIAGNOSTICS)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .
