METER SYSTEM
INFORMATION DISPLAY : System Description
DESCRIPTION
- The combination meter receives the information required for controlling the operations of the information display from the various units via CAN communication.
- The combination meter incorporates a trip computer that displays the warning/information according to the information received from various units.
PARKING BRAKE RELEASE WARNING
The combination meter indicates the parking brake release warning judged by the vehicle speed signal received from the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication and the parking brake switch signal from the parking brake switch.
Warning Operation Condition
Parking brake release warning is judged if all of the following conditions are fulfilled.
- Vehicle speed is 7 km/h (4.3 MPH) or higher
- Parking brake switch ON
LOW FUEL WARNING
The combination meter indicates the low fuel warning judged by the fuel level sensor signal received from the fuel level sensor unit.
Warning Operation Condition
- Fuel level: Approx. 13 (3-3/8 US gal, 2-7/8 Imp gal) or less
LOW WASHER FLUID WARNING
The combination meter indicates the low washer fluid warning judged by the signal from the washer level switch.
Warning Operation Condition
- Indicates the warning when the washer level switch is ON for 180 seconds or more. Stops indicating the warning when the washer level switch is OFF for 30 seconds or more.
DOOR OPEN WARNING
The combination meter indicates the door open warning judged by each door switch signal received from the
BCM via CAN communication line.
FUEL FILLER CAP WARNING
- The combination meter receives remaining fuel filler cap warning display signal from the ECM with CAN
communication line.
- The combination meter indicates fuel filler cap warning when receiving remaining fuel filler cap warning display signal.
- The combination meter indicates fuel filler cap warning judged with the fuel filler cap warning display signal received from the ECM.
For details, System Description.
INSTANTANEOUS FUEL CONSUMPTION (MPG)
- The combination meter receives the fuel consumption monitor signal from the ECM and the vehicle speed signal from the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication.
- The combination meter calculates instantaneous fuel consumption according to the fuel consumption monitor signal and the vehicle speed signal received via CAN communication.
AVERAGE FUEL CONSUMPTION (MPG)
- The combination meter receives the fuel consumption monitor signal from the ECM and the vehicle speed signal from the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication.
- The combination meter calculates the average fuel consumption according to the fuel consumption monitor signal and the vehicle speed signal received via CAN communication.
- The average fuel consumption displayed on the information display is uploaded in approximately 30-second intervals.
NOTE:
"---" is displayed for approximately 30 seconds just after the reset operation or after the ignition switch is OFF --> ON. It is displayed continuously until the vehicle drives approximately 500 m (0.31 mile).
AVERAGE VEHICLE SPEED (MPH)
- The combination meter receives the vehicle speed signal from the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication.
- Measures the time while the ignition switch is ON through the combination meter.
- The combination meter the average vehicle speed according to the above signals.
- The average vehicle speed displayed on the information display is uploaded in approximately 30-second intervals.
NOTE:
"---" is displayed for 30 seconds just after the reset operation or after the ignition switch is OFF --> ON. It is displayed continuously until the vehicle drives approximately 500 m (0.31 mile).
TRAVEL TIME (TIME)
Measures the time while the ignition switch is ON through the combination meter.
TRAVEL DISTANCE (MILES)
- The combination meter receives the vehicle speed signal from the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication.
- The combination meter calculates the vehicle distance according to the vehicle speed signal. The vehicle distance is displayed.
POSSIBLE DRIVING DISTANCE (RANGE)
The combination meter calculates possible driving distance according to the vehicle speed signal and fuel consumption monitor signal transmitted via CAN communication and the fuel level sensor signal transmitted from the fuel level sensor.
NOTE:
- " ---" is displayed for 30 seconds after the ignition switch is OFF --> ON. It is displayed continuously until the vehicle drives approximately 500 m (0.31 mile).
- The indicated values may not match each other when refueling with the ignition switch ON. Normal Operating Condition.
AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE
- The combination meter receives the ambient sensor signal from the ambient sensor.
- The combination meter calculates the ambient temperature according to the ambient sensor signal.
- The indicated temperature does not increase if the vehicle speed is less than 20 km/h (12 MPH).
NOTE:
- The ambient sensor input value that is displayed on "Data Monitor" of CONSULT is the value before the correction. It may not match the indicated temperature on the information display.
- The ambient temperature may be indicated higher than the actual temperature, depending on heat in the engine, the road surface temperature, and so on.
