DESCRIPTION
In this circuit, the combination meter assembly receives auto dimmer signals from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) using the CAN communication system (CAN V1 Bus). When the meter CPU receives an auto dimmer signal, it dims the meter illumination (warning and indicator lights). The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) determines whether it is daytime, twilight, or nighttime based on the waveform transmitted from the automatic light control sensor. If the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) determines that it is daytime, the ECU does not send an auto dimmer signal. Therefore, the meter illumination will not dim even if the driver accidentally turns the light control switch to the tail or head position in daytime.
HINT:
When the meter illumination is always dark, there may be a malfunction in the automatic light control sensor, main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), CAN communication system, harness or connector, or combination meter assembly.

3. |
CHECK OPERATION (AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM) |
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(b) Turn the light control switch to the AUTO position.
(c) Cover the automatic light control sensor.
(d) Check the taillights and low beam headlights.
OK:
The taillights and low beam headlights come on.
(e) Uncover the automatic light control sensor.
(f) Check the low beam headlights and taillights.
OK:
The low beam headlights and taillights go off.

4. |
REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) |
(a) Replace the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) with a new or a normal
one (See page ).
OK:
The operation of the combination meter assembly returns to normal.
HINT:
The meter CPU controls the meter illumination based on an auto dimmer signal from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). When the meter illumination is always dark (very dim), it may be due to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) sending an auto dimmer signal to the meter CPU because of a malfunction in the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU).
