Operating Light Control Rheostat does not Change Light Brightness |
DESCRIPTION
The combination meter assembly receives signals from the light control rheostat 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.
HINT:
The tail cancel switch is built into the light control rheostat. When the light control rheostat is moved to the highest position, the tail cancel switch will turn on and the meter illumination will be set to maximum brightness.
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.
-
When replacing the combination meter assembly, update the ECU security key.
