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   8 

    A: Go to next step 

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

      • *1: for U.S.A.
      • *2: except U.S.A.

      OK

      Speedometer indication is normal.

    NG → See step   9 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM 
    1. Check if the brake control system output the DTC. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

      Result Proceed to
      The DTC is not output. A
      The DTC is output. B

    B → See step   10 

    A: Go to next step 

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FR/FL/RR/RL WHEEL SPEED, VEHICLE SPEED METER) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus:
      1. for ABS/VSC/TRAC: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Data List.
      2. for Combination Meter: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.
      ABS/VSC/TRAC

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      FR Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (203 mph) Almost the same as actual vehicle speed (Speedometer tester) -
      FL Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (203 mph) Almost the same as actual vehicle speed (Speedometer tester) -
      RR Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (203 mph) Almost the same as actual vehicle speed (Speedometer tester) -
      RL Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (203 mph) Almost the same as actual vehicle speed (Speedometer tester) -
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Vehicle Speed Meter Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 mph (0 km/h), Max.: 199 km/h (124 mph) Almost the same as actual vehicle speed (Speedometer tester) -

      OK

      When the Data List values of the ECUs match, an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

      NG

      When the Data List values of the ECUs do not match, a signal output error of the skid control ECU or an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

    NG → See step   5 

    OK → See step   10 

  5. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (METER CIRCUIT PLATE) 
    1. Replace the meter circuit plate with a new or a known good one. Refer to DISASSEMBLY .

      OK

      The operation of the speedometer returns to normal.

    NG → See step   6 

    OK → END 

  6. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (NO. 4 METER CIRCUIT PLATE) 
    1. Replace the combination meter assembly (No. 4 meter circuit plate) with a new or a known good one. Refer to DISASSEMBLY .

      OK

      The operation of the speedometer returns to normal.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK → END 

  7. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (NO. 3 METER CIRCUIT PLATE) 
    1. Replace the combination meter assembly (No. 3 meter circuit plate) with a new or a known good one. Refer to DISASSEMBLY .

      OK

      The operation of the speedometer returns to normal.

    NG → See step   11 

    OK → END 

  8. GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING 
  9. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (NO. 3 METER CIRCUIT PLATE). Refer to  DISASSEMBLY 
  10. GO TO BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM. Refer to  DTC C1271/71: Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor RH (Test Mode DTC); DTC C1272/72: Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor LH (Test Mode DTC); DTC C1464/31: Front Speed Sensor RH Circuit; DTC C1465/32: Front Speed Sensor LH Circuit
