DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check combination meter connector
C-01 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals,
or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is combination meter connector C-01 in good

condition?
YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Repair or replace the damaged
component(s). If the functions, which are
described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION", work
normally, the input signal from the ignition
switch (IG1) should be normal.

STEP 2. Check the battery power supply circuit
to the combination meter. Voltage measurement
at combination meter connector C-01.

(1) Disconnect combination meter connector C-01

and measure the voltage available at the wiring
harness side of the connector.

(2) Measure the voltage between terminal 7 and

earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: IS the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Go to Step 3.

NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-129
and joint connector C-05 for loose, corroded, or dam-
aged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the con-
nector. If intermediate connector C-129 or joint
connector C-05 is damaged, repair or replace the
connector.

Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter

connector C-01 (terminal 7) and battery in good
condition?
YES :

There is no action to be taken.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness. Check to see that
all meters operate.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 6.

NO :

Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between
combination meter connector C-01 (terminal 9)
and ignition switch (IG1).

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector. If junction block con-
nector C-211 or C-214 or joint connector C-23 <LH
drive vehicles> is damaged, repair or replace the
connector.

Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter

connector C-01 (terminal 9) and ignition switch
(IG1) in good condition?
YES :
