Inspection Procedure

  1. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL) 
    1. Check the DATA LIST for proper functioning of the vehicle speed signal.

      Skid control ECU 

      SKID CONTROL ECU DATA LIST

      Item Measurement Item / Range (Display) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      (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. 

    NG: GO TO ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM 

    OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. CHECK COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Using an oscilloscope, check the signal waveform of the meter.
      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Tool Setting Vehicle Condition
      C10-9 - Body ground 5 V/DIV., 20 msec./DIV. Driving at approx. 20 km/h (12 mph)

      OK: Refer to the illumination. 

      HINT:

      As the vehicle speed increases, the wavelength shortens.
