  • The combination meter may be defective.
 
 
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), read the combination meter diagnostic trouble code.
(1)
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-III), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-III).
Connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III). Refer to "How to connect the Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III) ."
