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.
  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the radio receiver assembly and combination meter assembly connectors.
    2. 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 

  2. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM) 
    1. Reconnect the combination meter assembly connector.
    2. Check the output waveform.

      1. Connect an oscilloscope to terminal E34-3 (SPD) and body ground.
      2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      3. Turn a wheel slowly.
      4. 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.

    NG → See step   4 

    OK → See step   3 

  3. REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  4. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL
