DTC 1306: Vehicle Speed Pulse (Display Audio) (2016-17)

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE: 

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Clear the hard error codes.

    - 2. Test-drive the vehicle at steady speed more than 12 mph (20 km/h) for about 1 minute.

    - 3. Check for hard error codes.

    Is DTC 1306 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated, go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.

  2. Determine possible failure area (audio-navigation unit, others)

    -1. Go into the System Diagnostic Mode, and select the Vehicle Status in the Unit Check.

    - 2. With the help of an assistant test-drive the vehicle, and watch the VSP status.

    Does the VSP change from [0] (stopped) to [1] (driving) as you drive?

    YES 

    Replace the audio-navigation unit - Refer to: Audio-Navigation Unit Removal and Installation, or Audio-Navigation Unit Removal and Installation (Display Audio) (2016-17) .

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. Determine possible failure area (VSP line, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    - 3. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector A (51P)

    - 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 5. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    L4 engine 

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
    Test point 1 PCM connector A (51P) No. 25 - Refer to: PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (L4), or PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (V6) (2013 2014 2015), or PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (V6) (2016-17)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    V6 engine 

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
    Test point 1 PCM connector A (51P) No. 49 - Refer to: PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (L4), or PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (V6) (2013 2014 2015), or PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (V6) (2016-17)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there about 5.0 V?

    YES 

    The VSP wire is OK. Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Go to step 5.

  4. PCM check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Reconnect PCM connector A (51P).

    - 3. Raise the vehicle on a lift.

    - 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 5. Block the front tire of one side, and rotate the front tire slowly that is not blocked.

    - 6. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode, with the front tire slowly rotating
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector C (24P) No. 14 - Refer to: Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2013), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2014), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2015 2016), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Display Audio) (2016-17)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Does the voltage pulse between 0 V and 5 V as you rotate the tire?

    YES 

    Replace the audio-navigation unit - Refer to: Audio-Navigation Unit Removal and Installation, or Audio-Navigation Unit Removal and Installation (Display Audio) (2016-17) .

    NO 

    Substitute a known-good PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (V6), or PCM Removal and Installation (L4) , and recheck.

  5. Open wire check (VSP line)

    -1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector C (24P) No. 14 - Refer to: Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2013), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2014), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2015 2016), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Display Audio) (2016-17)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there about 5.0 V?

    YES 

    Repair an open in the wire between the audio-navigation unit and the PCM.

    NO 

    The VSP wire is not open. Go to step 6.

  6. Shorted wire check (VSP line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Audio-navigation unit connector C (24P)

    - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
      Audio-navigation unit connector C (24P): disconnected
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector C (24P) No. 14 - Refer to: Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2013), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2014), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2015 2016), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Display Audio) (2016-17)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short to body ground in the wire between the audio-navigation unit and the PCM.

    NO 

    Replace the audio-navigation unit - Refer to: Audio-Navigation Unit Removal and Installation, or Audio-Navigation Unit Removal and Installation (Display Audio) (2016-17) .
