Operating Light Control Rheostat does not Change Light Brightness |
DESCRIPTION
The combination meter assembly receives signals from this circuit to adjust the illumination of the combination meter assembly. The combination meter assembly sets the illumination level based on the user operation of the light control rheostat switch.
WIRING DIAGRAM
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.
HINT:
- The meter illumination level can be adjusted by pressing the light control rheostat switch.
- The meter illumination dims when the taillights are turned on.
- Setting the meter illumination level to maximum brightness cancels the above dimming of the meter illumination.
