      OK: Vehicle speed displayed on the tester is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed. 

    NG : GO TO  BRAKE CONTROL 

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  4. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check the input signal waveform.
      1. Remove the combination meter assembly with connector(s) still connected.
      2. Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals C9-18 (SPEED SIGNAL) and body ground.
      3. Start the engine.
      4. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.

        OK: The waveform is displayed as shown in the illustration. 

        HINT:

        As the vehicle speed increases, the cycle of the signal waveform narrows.

    NG : Go to step   6 

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  5. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the S39 connector.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

    NG : REPLACE ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 

    OK : REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER AND ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the C9 and S39 connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
