Speedometer Malfunction [08/2015 - 08/2019]: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if a CAN communication DTC is output (Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication DTC is not output A
      CAN communication DTC is output B

    Result: 

    GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 

    (Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [08/2015 - 08/2019] )

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (SPEED METER OPERATION) 
    1. Use the Active Test to check the operation of the speedometer (Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2015 - 08/2017] , or refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2017 - 08/2019] ).
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Speed Meter Operation Speedometer 0, 40, 80, 120 mph*1 Acceptable range (mph): [Control range → Speedometer display]
      • 40 → 39 to 42.5
      • 80 → 79 to 84
      • 120 → 119 to 125.5

      Confirm that the vehicle is stopped with the engine idling.
      0, 40, 80, 120, 160 km/h*2 Acceptable range (km/h): [Control range → Speedometer display]
      • 40 → 38 to 43.5
      • 80 → 78 to 85
      • 120 → 118.5 to 126.5
      • 160 → 158.5 to 168

      Confirm that the vehicle is stopped with the engine idling.
      1. *1: for U.S.A.
      2. *2: for Canada

      OK

      Speedometer indication is normal.

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - 08/2019] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (VEHICLE SPEED METER) 
    1. Use the Data List to check if the speedometer is operating properly (Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2015 - 08/2017] , or refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2017 - 08/2019] ).
      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 vehicle speed measured using a 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).

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - 08/2019] )

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  4

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FR/FL/RR/RL WHEEL SPEED) 
    1. Use the Data List to check the wheel speed (Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).
      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 vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester -
      FL Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester -
      RR Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester -
      RL Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual vehicle speed measured using a 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).

    Result: 

    NG 

    GO TO VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM 

    (Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [08/2015 - ] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER SOLENOID 
    1. Replace the skid control ECU with a new or normally functioning one (Refer to DISASSEMBLY [08/2015 - ] ).

      OK

      The operation of the speedometer returns to normal.

    Result: 

    OK 

    END 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - 08/2019] )
