Inspection Procedure 9: The combination meter lamp does not illuminate normally or the multi-information display is not displayed normally.

caution

Before replacing the combination meter, be sure to check that the power supply circuit, earth circuit, and communication circuit are normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

When the signal from each ECU is received via the CAN communication, the combination meter illuminates the corresponding display lamp or warning lamp, or has the multi-information display to display corresponding information.
If the lamps do not illuminate or the multi-information display does not display normally, the wiring harness and connector(s) in the CAN bus lines, each ECU (that sends a signal) or the combination meter may have a problem.

PROBABLE CAUSES

Malfunction of combination meter
Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
