DESCRIPTION
In this circuit, the combination meter assembly auto dimmer signals from the main body ECU using the CAN communication system (CAN V1 Bus). When the combination meter assembly 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 nighttime and the light control switch is in the tail, head, or AUTO, the ECU sends an auto dimmer signal. According to the signal, the combination meter assembly dims the meter illumination.
HINT:
When the meter illumination does not dim at night, 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.

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 that the taillights and low beam headlights.
OK:
The taillights and low beam headlights come on.
(e) Uncover the automatic light control sensor.
(f) Check that the low beam headlights and taillights.
OK:
The low beam headlights and taillights go off.

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 combination meter assembly controls the meter illumination based on an auto dimmer signal from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). If the meter does not dim when the light control switch is in the tail, head, or AUTO position at night, it may be for either of 2 reasons. The first reason is that the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) does not send an auto dimmer signal. The second is that the meter CPU does not dim the meter illumination even though the meter CPU receives an auto dimmer signal.
