Speedometer Malfunction: Procedure

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (SPEED METER OPERATION) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
    5. 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 Confirm that the vehicle is stopped, engine idling
      0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240 km/h*2
      • *1: for U.S.A.
      • *2: for Canada

      OK

      Speedometer indication is normal.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (VEHICLE SPEED METER) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
    5. 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 (speedometer tester) -

      OK

      Vehicle speed displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer).

    NG → See step   3 

    OK → See step   7 

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FL/FR/RL/RR WHEEL SPEED) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Data List.
    5. 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 (speedometer tester) -
      FL Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual speed (speedometer tester) -
      RR Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual speed (speedometer tester) -
      RL Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual speed (speedometer tester) -

      OK

      Vehicle speed displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer).

    NG → See step   8 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT COMBINATION METER (OUTPUT VOLTAGE) 
    1. Disconnect the A62 connector.

    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A62-11 (SP1) -
      Body ground
      Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (INPUT WAVEFORM) 
    1. Check the input signal waveform.
      Fig 2: Inspecting Skid Control ECU (Input Waveform)
      GTY153661Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      1. Remove the combination meter with connector(s) still connected.
      2. Reconnect the A62 connector.
      3. Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals J34-17 (SI) and body ground.
      4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      5. Turn the drive wheel slowly.
      6. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
        Item Condition
        Tool setting 5 V/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 drive wheel revolution generates 4 pulses. As the vehicle speed increases, the width indicated by (A) in the illustration narrows.

    NG → See step   9 

    OK → See step   7 

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - SKID CONTROL ECU) 
    1. Disconnect the J34 and A62 connectors.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A62-11 (SP1) - J34-17 (SI) Always Below 1 Ω
      A62-11 (SP1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   7 

  7. REPLACE COMBINATION METER. Refer to  REMOVAL - Step 9 
  8. GO TO BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING 
  9. REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU. Refer to  REMOVAL
