Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit between Stereo Component Amplifier and Combination Meter [08/2015 - ]: Procedure
- INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM)
- Check the output waveform.
- Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector(s) still connected.
- Connect an oscilloscope to terminal I18-3 (+S) and body ground.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn a wheel slowly.
- Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
Item Condition Measurement terminal I18-3 (+S) - Body ground Tool setting 5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. Vehicle condition Wheel being rotated OK
The waveform is similar to that shown in the illustration.
HINT:
When the system is functioning normally, one wheel revolution generates 4 pulses. As the vehicle speed increases, the width indicated by (A) in the illustration narrows.

- Check the output waveform.
- INSPECT STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY (INPUT WAVEFORM)
- Check the input waveform.
- Remove the stereo component amplifier assembly with the connector(s) still connected.
- Connect an oscilloscope to terminal I69-11 (SPD) and body ground.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn a wheel slowly.
- Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.

- Check the input waveform.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY - JUNCTION CONNECTOR)
- Disconnect the I69 stereo component amplifier assembly connector.
- Disconnect the I124 junction connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition I69-11 (SPD) - I124-19 Always Below 1 Ω
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - JUNCTION CONNECTOR)
- Disconnect the I18 combination meter assembly connector.
- Disconnect the I124 junction connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition I18-3 (+S) - I124-18 Always Below 1 Ω
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → REPLACE JUNCTION CONNECTOR
