Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit between Stereo Component Amplifier and Combination Meter (To 8/2009): Procedure

  1. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM) 
    1. Check the output waveform.

      1. Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector still connected.
      2. Connect an oscilloscope to terminal F15-3 (+S) and body ground.
      3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      4. Turn the wheel slowly.
      5. 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 wheel revolution generates 4 pulses. As the vehicle speed increases, the width indicated by (A) in the illustration narrows.

    NG → See step   4 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 
    1. Disconnect the stereo component amplifier assembly and combination meter assembly connectors.

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

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      O33-11 (SPD) - F15-3 (+S) Always Below 1 Ω

      *1 Front view of wire harness connector
      (to Stereo Component Amplifier Assembly)
      *2 Front view of wire harness connector
      (to Combination Meter Assembly)

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   3 

  3. REPLACE STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  4. GO TO METER / GAUGE SYSTEM. Refer to  Speed Signal Circuit
