Inspection Procedure

NOTE: If the vehicle speed is outside the allowable range when tested, perform the following procedure(See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION ).

HINT:

Before starting the following inspection, check tire size and tire pressure.

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

    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.

    OK: 

    Gauge indication is normal  .

    NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER (See  COMBINATION METER  ) 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  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.

    Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph)
    Almost same as actual speed (Speedometer tester indication) -

    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 Next Step 

    OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER (See  COMBINATION METER  ) 

  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.

    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 INSTALLATION w/o VSC, INSTALLATION w/ VSC).

      OK: 

      The operation of the speedometer returns to normal  .

      NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER (See  COMBINATION METER  ) 

      OK: END
