Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit between Radio Receiver and Combination Meter [06/2020 - 10/2022]: Procedure

  1. CHECK VEHICLE SIGNAL (OPERATION CHECK) 
    1. Enter the "Vehicle Signal Check Mode" screen. Refer to Check Vehicle Signal Check Mode in Operation Check.

      Refer to OPERATION CHECK [06/2020 - 10/2022]

    2. While driving the vehicle, compare the value displayed for "SPEED" to the reading on the speedometer. Check if these readings are almost equal.

      HINT: 

      The combination meter assembly receives the vehicle speed signal from the skid control ECU via CAN communication. Therefore, perform the following inspection referring to values on the Data List of the skid control ECU because it is the source of the vehicle speed signal.

      OK

      Vehicle speed displayed on the "Vehicle Signal Check Mode" screen is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using the GTS.

      Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [06/2020 - ]

      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [06/2020 - 10/2022] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  2

  2. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM) 
    1. Check the output waveform.

      *a Component with harness connected
      (Combination Meter Assembly)
      1. Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector still connected.

        Refer to REMOVAL [06/2020 - 10/2022]

      2. Connect an oscilloscope to terminal G18-36 (+S) and body ground.
      3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      4. Turn a wheel slowly.
      5. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
        Item Condition
        Measurement terminal G18-36 (+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.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    GO TO METER / GAUGE SYSTEM. Refer to  Speed Signal Circuit [06/2020 - 10/2022] 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. INSPECT RADIO AND DISPLAY RECEIVER ASSEMBLY (INPUT WAVEFORM) 
    1. Check the input waveform.

      *a Component with harness connected
      (Radio and Display Receiver Assembly)
      1. Remove the radio and display receiver assembly with the connector still connected.

        Refer to REMOVAL [06/2020 - 10/2022]

      2. Connect an oscilloscope to terminal G3-27 (SPD) and body ground.
      3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      4. Turn a wheel slowly.
      5. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
        Item Condition
        Measurement terminal G3-27 (SPD) - 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.

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE RADIO AND DISPLAY RECEIVER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [06/2020 - 10/2022] 

    Result: 

    NG
