Inspection Procedure

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY HAND-HELD TESTER 
    1. Operate the hand-held tester according to the steps on the display and select the "ACTIVE TEST".

      METER:

      SPEED METER TEST DETAILS

      Item Test Details
      SPEED METER 0 / 40(24) / 80(48) / 120(72) / 160(96) / 200(120) km/h(mph)
      1. OK: Needle indication is normal. 
      1. NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSY (See  OVERHAUL  ) 
      2. OK: GO TO NEXT STEP. 
  2. READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER (VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL) 
    1. Operate the hand-held tester according to the steps on the display and select the "DATA LIST".

      METER:

      ITEM CONDITION CHECK REFERENCE

      Item Measurement Item/ Range (Display) Normal Condition
      SPEED METER Vehicle speed / Min.: 1 km/h (1 mph), Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph) Almost same as actual vehicle speed (When driving)

      OK: Vehicle speed displayed on the tester is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed. 

      1. NG: Go to step 3 
      2. OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSY (See  OVERHAUL  ). 
  3. READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER (VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL) 
    1. Operate the hand-held tester according to the steps on the display and select the "DATA LIST".

      ABS:

      ITEM CONDITION CHECK REFERENCE

      Item Measurement Item/ Range (Display) Normal Condition
      (FR/FL/RR/RL) SPD Vehicle speed / Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual speed (When driving)

      OK: Vehicle speed displayed on the tester is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed. 

      1. NG: GO TO BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM (See  CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS CHECK  ) 
      2. OK: GO TO NEXT STEP. 
  4. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSY 

    INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE

    1. Check the input signal waveform.
      1. Remove the combination meter assy.
      2. Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals C12-6 and body ground.
      3. Start the engine.

      4. Check the signal waveform according to the condition (s) in the table below.
        ITEM CONDITION CHECK REFERENCE

        Item Condition
        Tool setting 5 V/DIV, 20 ms/DIV
        Vehicle condition Driving at approx. 20 Km/h (12 mph)

        OK: As shown in the illustration 

        HINT:

        As vehicle speed increases, the cycle of the signal waveform narrows.

        1. NG: Go to step 5

        2. OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSY (See  OVERHAUL  ). 
  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSY (VSC) - COMBINATION METER ASSY) (SEE  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING  ) 
    1. Disconnect the C12 and S27 connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard:

      SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C12-6 - S27-12 Always Below 1 Ω
      C12-6 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      1. NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

      2. OK: GO TO NEXT STEP. 
  6. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSY 
    1. Disconnect the S27 connector.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard:

      CONNECTORS VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      S27-12 - Body ground Ignition switch ON 10 to 14 V
      1. NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSY (See  OVERHAUL  )
