Speedometer Malfunction [07/2014 - ]: Procedure
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (VEHICLE SPEED)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Data List.
- According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.ABS/VSC/TRC
Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Vehicle Speed Maximum wheel speed sensor reading
Min.: 0 km/h
Max.: 326 km/hActual vehicle speed Speed indicated on speedometer OK
Vehicle speed displayed on the Techstream is approximately the same as the actual vehicle speed.
NG → See step 6
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT VOLTAGE)
- Disconnect the A70 brake actuator assembly connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition A70-11 (SP1) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to brake actuator assembly) - Reconnect the A70 brake actuator assembly connector.
NG → See step 4
OK: Go to next step
- Disconnect the A70 brake actuator assembly connector.
- INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (INPUT WAVEFORM)
- Check the input waveform.
- Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector(s) still connected.
- Connect an oscilloscope to terminal D100-5 (SI) and body ground.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the wheel slowly.
- Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
Standard
Item Condition Tool setting 5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. Condition Driving at approx. 20 km/h TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component with harness connected
(Combination Meter Assembly)*b Waveform OK
The waveform is displayed as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
As the vehicle speed increases, the cycle of the waveform narrows.
NG → See step 8
OK → See step 5
- Check the input waveform.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the D100 combination meter assembly connector.
- Disconnect the A70 brake actuator assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D100-5 (SI) - A70-11 (SP1) Always Below 1 Ω D100-5 (SI) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 7
- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [07/2014 - ]
- GO TO VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [07/2014 - ]
- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [07/2014 - ]
- REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [07/2014 - ]
