Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit between Radio Receiver and Combination Meter (TO 12/2010): Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Toyota Avalon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the radio receiver assembly and combination meter assembly connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E34-3 (SPD) - E30-5 (+S) Always Below 1 Ω
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM)
- Reconnect the combination meter assembly connector.
- Check the output waveform.

- Connect an oscilloscope to terminal E34-3 (SPD) and body ground.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn a wheel slowly.
- Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
Item Condition Measurement terminal E34-3 (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.

- REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL
- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL
