Operation Check [10/2020 - 10/2023]

  1. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check speedometer operation
      NOTE:
      • The combination meter assembly receives the vehicle speed signal from the skid control ECU via CAN communication. Therefore, perform the following inspection referring to values on the Data List of the skid control ECU because it is the source of the vehicle speed signal.
      • Data List values of the skid control ECU are used for this inspection. Therefore, make sure to perform this inspection after confirming that DTCs are not output.
