Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if CAN communication DTC is output (See DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ).

      Result 

      RESULT REFERENCE

      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication DTC Is not output. A
      CAN communication DTC Is output. B

      B: GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM  (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )

      A: Go to next step 

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (SPEED METER OPERATION) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
    5. Check the operation by referring to the values in the table below.

      Combination Meter

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Speed Meter Operation Speedometer 0, 40, 80, 120 mph(1) Confirm that the vehicle is stopped, engine idling
      0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240 km/h(2)
      (1) for U.S.A.
      (2) except for U.S.A.

      OK: 

      Speedometer indication is normal. 

      NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER  (See REMOVAL )

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (VEHICLE SPEED METER) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
    5. Check the values by referring to the values in the table below.

      Combination Meter 

      COMBINATION METER REFERENCE CHART

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Vehicle 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 Techstream is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer). 

      NG: Go to step 4 

      OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER  (See REMOVAL )

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FR/FL/RR/RL WHEEL SPEED) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Data List.
    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      FR Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual speed (When driving) -
      FL Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual speed (When driving) -
      RR Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual speed (When driving) -
      RL Wheel Speed 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 Techstream is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer). 

      Result 

      RESULT REFERENCE

      Result Proceed to
      OK A
      NG (w/o VSC) B
      NG (w/ VSC) C

      B: GO TO BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM (w/o VSC)  (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )

      C: GO TO BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM (w/ VSC)  (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )

      A: Go to next step 

  5. REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU 
    1. Replace the skid control ECU with a new or a known good one (See REMOVAL (w/o VSC), REMOVAL (w/ VSC)).

      OK: 

      The operation of the speedometer returns to normal. 

      NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER  (See REMOVAL )

      OK: END
