Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus ES 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK OPERATION OF SPEEDOMETER
1. Drive the vehicle and check if the function of the speedometer in 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: GO TO COMBINATION METER SYSTEM

OK: Go to Next Step
INSPECT MULTI-DISPLAY
1. Disconnect the multi-display connector E62.
2. Measure voltage.
  1. Jack up either one of the drive wheels.
  2. Move the shift lever to the neutral position.
  3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK: Go to Next Step

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MULTI-DISPLAY - BODY GROUND)

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance

TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
SPD - Body ground	Engine switch off	10 kΩ or higher

HINT:

If the resistance between terminal SPD and body ground is less than 10 kΩ, there may be a short in a wire harness, connector, or an ECU that is connected to the SPD signal wire.
