Speedometer Malfunction: Procedure
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (SPEED METER OPERATION)
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the tester ON.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
- Check the operation by referring to the table below.COMBINATION METER:
Tester 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 for models for U.S.A.
OK
Needle indication is normal.
NG → REPLACE COMBINATION METER
OK: Go to next step
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (VEHICLE SPEED METER)
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the tester 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:
Tester 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.
OK → REPLACE COMBINATION METER
NG: Go to next step
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FR/FL/RR/RL WHEEL SPEED)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the tester ON.
- Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Data List.
- Check the values by referring to the table below.ABS/VSC/TRAC:
Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note FR Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual speed (When driving) - FL Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual speed (When driving) - RR Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual speed (When driving) - RL 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.
NG → See step 7
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK SKID CONTROL ECU (SP1 INPUT VOLTAGE)
- Disconnect the A13 ECU connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
Standard voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A13-7 (SP1) - Body ground Power switch ON (IG) 10 to 14 V
NG → See step 6
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK COMBINATION METER (SI SIGNAL)
- Check the input signal waveform.

- Remove the combination meter with the connector still connected.
- Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals K31-29 and body ground.
- Start the engine.
- Check the signal waveform of the connector.
Item Condition Tool setting 5 V/DIV., 20 msec./DIV. Vehicle condition Driving at approx. 20 km/h (12 mph) OK
As shown in the illustration
HINT:
As vehicle speed increases, the cycle of the signal waveform narrows.
NG → REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU
OK → REPLACE COMBINATION METER
- Check the input signal waveform.
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS (COMBINATION METER - SKID CONTROL ECU)
- Disconnect the K31 meter connector.
- Disconnect the A13 ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Specified Condition K31-29 (SI) - A13-7 (SP1) Below 1 Ω K31-29 (SI) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → REPLACE COMBINATION METER
- GO TO BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM. Refer to PRECAUTION
