Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota Yaris. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY TECHSTREAM (SPEED METER) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
    3. Enter the following menus : Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.

      Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test: 

      BODY ELECTRICAL / COMBINATION METER / ACTIVE TEST

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range
      Speed Meter Operation 0 / 40 (24) / 80 (48) /120 (72) / 160 (96) / 200 (120) / 240 (144) km/h (mph) -

      OK: 

      Vehicle speed displayed on the tester is approximately the same as that of the speedometer reading. 

    NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  2. READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM (SPEED METER) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and the tester ON.
    3. Select the item below from the Data List, and read the value displayed on the Techstream.

      Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List: 

      BODY ELECTRICAL / COMBINATION METER / DATA LIST

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Vehicle Speed Meter Vehicle speed /Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 255 km/h (158mph) Approximately same as actual vehicle speed (When vehicle is driven) -

      OK: 

      Vehicle speed displayed on the tester is approximately the same as the actual vehicle speed. 

    NG: Go to step 3 

    OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

  3. INSPECT SPEEDOMETER 
    1. Remove the speedometer sensor.
