Title: METER / GAUGE / DISPLAY: METER / GAUGE SYSTEM (for HV Model): Tachometer Malfunction; 2019 - 2020 MY Avalon HV [04/2018 - 08/2020]

Tachometer Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the combination meter assembly receives engine rpm data signal from the hybrid vehicle control ECU via CAN communication. The combination meter assembly displays the engine speed calculated based on the data received from the hybrid vehicle control ECU.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • 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.
  • Before replacing the hybrid vehicle control ECU, refer to Registration.
