HINT:
The vehicle speed sensor is functioning normally when the indication on the speedometer is normal.
NG: CHECK COMBINATION METER
OK: GO TO NEXT STEP.
- Drive the vehicle and check if the function of the speedometer on the combination meter is normal.
- INSPECT RADIO AND NAVIGATION ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the radio and navigation assembly connector R9.
- Measure the voltage.
- Jack up either one of the drive wheels.
- Move the shift lever to the neutral position.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Measure the voltage between terminal SPD of the radio and navigation assembly and body ground when the drive wheels are turned slowly.
OK:
Voltage pulses as shown in Fig 2 .
NG: Go to step 3
OK: REPLACE RADIO AND NAVIGATION ASSEMBLY
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - RADIO AND NAVIGATION ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the radio and navigation assembly connector R9 and combination meter connector C9.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION .
Standard:
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester connection Condition Specified condition SPD - C9-5 Ignition switch OFF Below 1
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: GO TO NEXT STEP.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - RADIO AND NAVIGATION ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the radio and navigation assembly connector R9 and combination meter connector C9.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION .
Standard:
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester connection Condition Specified condition SPD - Body ground Ignition switch OFF 10 k or higher HINT:
If the resistance between terminal SPD and body ground is less than 10 k, there may be a short in a wire harness, connector, or ECU.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR OR CHECK EACH ECU
OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER
