Inspection Procedure

NOTE: If the vehicle speed is outside the allowable range when tested, perform the following procedure (See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION  ).
  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER 
    1. Operate the intelligent tester according to the steps on the display and select "ACTIVE TEST".

      ACTIVE TEST REFERENCE CHART

      Item Test Details Diagnostic Note
      SPEED METER 0 / 40 (24) / 80 (48) /120 (72) /160 (96) / 200 (120) km/h (mph) -

      OK: Needle indication is within the allowable range. 

    NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step. 

  2. READ VALUE ON INTELLIGENT TESTER 
    1. Operate the intelligent tester according to the steps on the display and select "DATA LIST".

      DATA LIST REFERENCE CHART

      Item Measurement Item/Range (Display) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      SPEED METER Vehicle speed / Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph) Almost same as actual speed (When driving) -

      OK: Vehicle speed displayed on the tester is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer). 

    NG: Go to step 3 

    OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

  3. READ VALUE ON INTELLIGENT TESTER 
    1. Operate the intelligent tester according to the steps on the display and select "DATA LIST".

      ABS/VSC/TRAC 

      DATA LIST REFERENCE CHART

      Item Measurement Item/Range (Display) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      (FL/FR/RL/RR) 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 measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer). 

    NG: REPLACE ABS AND TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step. 

  4. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the S38 connector.

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      S38-22 (SP1) - Body ground Turn the ignition switch to the ON position 10 to 14 V

    NG: Go to step  6

    OK: Go to next step. 

  5. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check the input signal waveform.
    1. Remove the combination meter assembly with connector(s) still connected.
    2. Connect the oscilloscope to terminal C12-18 (SPEED SIGNAL) and body ground.

    3. Start the engine.
    4. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
      WAVEFORM REFERENCE CHART

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

      OK: The waveform is displayed as shown in the illustration. 

      HINT:

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

    NG: REPLACE ABS AND TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 

    OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER AND ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the C12 and S38 connectors.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      RESISTANCE REFERENCE CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C12-18 (SPEED SIGNAL) - S38-22 (SP1) Always Below 1 Ω
      C12-18 (SPEED SIGNAL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
