Inspection Procedure
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY TECHSTREAM (SPEED METER OPERATION)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
- Check the operation by referring to the values in the table below.
Combination Meter:
CONTROL RANGE CHARTTester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note Speed Meter Operation Speedometer 0, 40, 80, 120 mph ((1)) - 0, 40, 80, 120,160, 200, 240 km/h ((2)) (1) U.S.A. (2) Except U.S.A. OK: Needle indication is within the allowable range.
NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
OK: Go to next step.
- READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM (VEHICLE SPEED METER)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
- Check the values by referring to the values in the table below.
: Combination Meter:
MEASUREMENT ITEM/RANGE CHARTTester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Vehicle Speed Meter Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph) Almost same as actual speed (When driving) - OK: Vehicle speed displayed on the tester is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer).
NG: Go to step 3
OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
- READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM (FL/FR/RL/RR WHEEL SPEED)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Data List.
- Check the values by referring to the table below.
ABS/VSC/TRAC:
MEASUREMENT ITEM/RANGE CHARTTester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note (FL/FR/RL/RR) Wheel Speed Vehicle speed / Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual speed (When driving) - OK: Vehicle speed displayed on the tester is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer).
NG: GO TO BRAKE CONTROL -- RX400H
OK: Go to next step.
- INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the S39 connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
STANDARD VOLTAGETester Connection Condition Specified Condition S39-22 (SP1) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 10 to 14 V
NG: Go to step 6
OK: Go to next step.
- INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
- Check the input signal waveform.
- Remove the combination meter assembly with connector (s) still connected.
- Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals C9-18 (SPEED SIGNAL) and body ground.
- Start the engine.
- Check the signal waveform according to the condition (s) in the table below.SIGNAL WAVEFORM CONDITION
Item Condition Tool setting 5V/DIV., 20 ms/DIV. Vehicle condition Driving at approx. 20 km/h (12 mph) OK: The waveform is displayed as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
When the system is functioning normally, one wheel revolution generates 4 pulses. As the vehicle speed increases, the width indicated by (A) in the illustration narrows.
NG: REPLACE ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
- Check the input signal waveform.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER AND ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the C9 and S39 connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
STANDARD RESISTANCETester Connection Condition Specified Condition C9-18 (SPEED SIGNAL) - S39-22 (SP1) Always Below 1 Ω C9-18 (SPEED SIGNAL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
