      OK

      Speedometer indication is normal.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM 
    1. Check if the brake control system output the DTC. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      The DTC is not output. A
      The DTC is output. B

    B → See step   8 

    A: Go to next step 

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FR/FL/RR/RL WHEEL SPEED, 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:
      1. for ABS/VSC/TRAC: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Data List.
      2. for Combination Meter: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / 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 (203 mph) Almost the same as actual vehicle speed (When driving) -
      FL Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (203 mph) Almost the same as actual vehicle speed (When driving) -
      RR Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (203 mph) Almost the same as actual vehicle speed (When driving) -
      RL Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (203 mph) Almost the same as actual vehicle speed (When driving) -
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Vehicle Speed Meter Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 mph (0 km/h), Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph) Almost the same as actual vehicle speed (When driving) -

      OK

      When the Data List values of the ECUs match, an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

      NG

      When the Data List values of the ECUs do not match, a signal output error of the skid control ECU or an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

    NG → See step   4 

    OK → See step   7 

  4. INSPECT COMBINATION METER (OUTPUT VOLTAGE) 
    1. Disconnect the A62 connector.
      Fig 1: Identifying A62 Connector Terminals

    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
