Combination Meter System Pre-Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Toyota Prius. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Before check  :

    Since a trouble symptom may result from multiple causes, check not only the part where a user complains of but also the following items in order to be sure no other trouble is identified.

    • Fuse related parts
    • Wire harness related parts
    • Valve related parts
      NOTE:
      • Setting the ignition switch to START temporarily stops all meter operation, however, this is not an error.
      • When replacing the combination meter ECU, carefully avoid any contact with the IC.
      • Removing a battery terminal during engine operation may cause a reversed current and lead to malfunction.
      • When disconnecting any connector or terminal, be sure to disconnect the battery terminal.
  2. Fuel gauge diagnosis check  :
      NOTE: If FR voltage input to the fuel sender gauge is abnormal (4.8 V or more, or 0.06 V or less) due to any error, an emergency will be displayed.
    1. Fuel emergency display
    2. Display:

      Immediately after the ignition switch is ON, all of the segments flash.
