    METER/GAUGE

    Item Details
    Tachometer The combination meter receives an engine speed signal from the ECM and the gauge needle operates (CAN).
    Speedometer Based on a signal received from the wheel speed sensors, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)*1 or master cylinder solenoid (skid control ECU)*2 calculates the vehicle speed and transmits data to the combination meter (CAN).
    ODO/TRIP meter
    • The combination meter receives a vehicle speed pulse integration signal from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)*1 or master cylinder solenoid (skid control ECU)*2 and the ODO/TRIP meter display operates (CAN).
    • The ODO/TRIP meter display changes when the ODO/TRIP switch is operated.
    Fuel receiver gauge The combination meter receives fuel amount information measured by the fuel sender gauge and the gauge needle operates (Direct line).
    Engine coolant temperature gauge The combination meter receives an engine coolant temperature signal from the ECM and the gauge needle operates (CAN).
