Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK OPERATION OF SPEEDOMETER 
    1. Drive the vehicle and check if the function of the speedometer on the combination meter is normal.

      OK: 

      Actual vehicle speed and the speed indicated on the speedometer are the same. 

      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. 

  2. INSPECT RADIO AND NAVIGATION ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the radio and navigation assembly connector R9.
    2. Measure the voltage.
      1. Jack up either one of the drive wheels.
      2. Move the shift lever to the neutral position.
      3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

      4. 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 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - RADIO AND NAVIGATION ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the radio and navigation assembly connector R9 and combination meter connector C9.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION .

      Standard: 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester connection Condition Specified condition
      SPD - C9-5 Ignition switch OFF Below 1

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: GO TO NEXT STEP. 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - RADIO AND NAVIGATION ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the radio and navigation assembly connector R9 and combination meter connector C9.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION .

      Standard: 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester 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.
