Speedometer Malfunction [10/2014 - 10/2015]: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if CAN communication DTCs are output (Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [10/2014 - 10/2015] ).

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication DTCs are not output. A
      CAN communication DTCs are output. B

    Result: 

    GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 

    (Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [10/2014 - 10/2015] )

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (SPEED METER OPERATION) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine 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

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Speed Meter Operation Speedometer OFF, 0, 40, 80, 120, 160 mph*1 There is a deviation in the values displayed on the speedometer (*1)
      (Control range → Speedometer display)
      • 0 → 0
      • 40 → 40.0 to 43.5
      • 80 → 80.0 to 84.5
      • 120 → 120.0 to 125.5
      • 160 → 160.0 to 166.5
      OFF, 0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240 km/h*2 There is a deviation in the values displayed on the speedometer (*2)
      (Control range → Speedometer display)
      • 0 → 0
      • 40 → 38.0 to 42.0
      • 80 → 78.0 to 84.0
      • 120 → 119.0 to 125.0
      • 160 → 159.0 to 167.0
      • 200 → 199.0 to 209.0
      • 240 → 239.0 to 251.0
      • *1: for Speedometer with Imperial Units
      • *2: for Speedometer with Metric Units

      OK

      Speedometer indication is normal.

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM 
    1. Check if vehicle stability control system DTCs are output (Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [10/2014 - ] ).

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTCs are not output. A
      DTCs are output. B

    Result: 

    GO TO VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM 

    (Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [10/2014 - 10/2015] )

    Result: 

    See step  4

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (VEHICLE SPEED, VEHICLE SPEED METER) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine 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
      Vehicle Speed Maximum wheel speed sensor reading/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Vehicle stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph) When driving at constant speed: No large fluctuations
      COMBINATION METER

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

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      The data list values of the ECUs match. A
      The data list values of the ECUs do not match. B

      HINT: 

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

    Result: 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ] )

    Result: 

    See step  5

  5. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Replace the combination meter assembly with a new or known good one (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ] ).

      OK

      The operation of the speedometer returns to normal.

    Result: 

    OK 

    END 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (SKID CONTROL ECU)
