Speedometer Malfunction: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if a CAN communication DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM .
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication DTC is not output A
      CAN communication DTC is output B

    B → See step   6 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (SPEED METER OPERATION) 
    1. Use the Active Test to check the operation of the speedometer. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST .
      COMBINATION METER

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

      OK

      Speedometer indication is normal.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (VEHICLE SPEED METER) 
    1. Use the Data List to check if the speedometer is operating properly. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST .
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Vehicle Speed Meter Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 mph (0 km/h), Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph) Almost the same as actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester -

      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 → See step   4 

    OK → See step   7 

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FR/FL/RR/RL WHEEL SPEED) 
    1. Use the Data List to check the wheel speed. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST .
      ABS/VSC/TRAC

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

      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 → See step   8 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER SOLENOID 
    1. Replace the skid control ECU with a new or normally functioning one. Refer to DISASSEMBLY .

      OK

      The operation of the speedometer returns to normal.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK → END 

  6. GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING 
  7. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  8. GO TO VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
