DTC B15C2: Speed Signal Malfunction [08/2019 - ]: Procedure

1. Clear the DTCs.

   Body Electrical > Navigation System > Clear DTCs 

2. Recheck for DTCs and check that no DTCs are output.

   Body Electrical > Navigation System > Trouble Codes 

   OK

   No DTCs are output.

   NG

Result: 

OK 

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [08/2019 - 07/2020]  , or refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [07/2020 - ] 

Result: 

NG 

See step  2

1. Enter the "System Sensors Check" screen. Refer to Check GPS & Vehicle Sensors in Operation Check.

   Example

   Refer to OPERATION CHECK [08/2019 - ]

2. While driving the vehicle, compare the "Speed" indicator to the reading on the speedometer. Check if these readings are almost equal.

   HINT: 

   The combination meter assembly receives the vehicle speed signal from the skid control ECU via CAN communication. Therefore, perform the following procedure inspection referring to values in the Data List of the skid control ECU because it is the source of the vehicle speed signal.

   OK

   Vehicle speed displayed on the "System Sensors Check" screen is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using the Techstream.

   Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2019 - ]

   *a	Component with harness connected (Combination Meter Assembly)

   1. Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector (s) still connected.
   2. Connect an oscilloscope to terminal J10-19 (+S) and body ground.
   3. Turn the power switch on (IG).
   4. Turn a wheel slowly.
   5. Check the signal waveform according to the condition (s) in the table below.

      Item	Condition
      Measurement terminal	J10-19 (+S) - Body ground
      Tool setting	5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV.
      Vehicle condition	Wheel being rotated

      OK

      The waveform is similar to that 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.

   *a	Component with harness connected (Navigation ECU)

   1. Remove the navigation ECU with the connector (s) still connected.
   2. Connect an oscilloscope to terminal J153-9 (SPD) and body ground.
   3. Turn the power switch on (IG).
   4. Turn a wheel slowly.
   5. Check the signal waveform according to the condition (s) in the table below.

      Item	Condition
      Measurement terminal	J153-9 (SPD) - Body ground
      Tool setting	5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV.
      Vehicle condition	Wheel being rotated

      OK

      The waveform is similar to that 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.
