When replacing the combination meter assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a combination meter assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in it will not match the information from the vehicle and a DTC may be stored.

HINT:

  • The illumination level of the combination meter assembly can be adjusted by pressing the light control rheostat switch (trip switch).
  • The illumination of the combination meter assembly dims when the taillights are turned on.
