Vehicle Speed Signal Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Murano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL UNIT) SELF-DIAGNOSIS 

    Perform the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) self-diagnosis. Refer to "CONSULT-II FUNCTIONS " (with VDC system) or "CONSULT-II FUNCTIONS " (without VDC system).

    OK or NG

    1. OK: GO TO 2.
    2. NG: Check applicable parts.
  2. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. OUTPUT SIGNAL 
    1. Start engine and drive vehicle at approximately 40km/h (25MPH).
    2. Check voltage signal between combination meter harness connector M25 terminal 14 (V/W) and ground with simple oscilloscope of CONSULT-II.

    14 (V/W) - Ground: 

    OK or NG

    1. OK: Replace combination meter.
    2. NG: GO TO 3.
  3. CHECK VOLTAGE OF COMBINATION METER 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect unified meter and A/C amp. connector, display control unit connector (with NAVI), display unit connector (without NAVI) and audio unit connector (BOSE system).
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Check voltage between combination meter harness connector M25 terminal 14 (V/W) and ground.

      Approx. 12V

    OK or NG

    1. OK: GO TO 4.
    2. NG: Replace combination meter.
  4. CHECK CONTINUITY BETWEEN COMBINATION METER AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. 
    1. Disconnect combination meter connector.
    2. Check continuity between combination meter harness connector M25 terminal 14 (V/W) and unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector M50 terminal 26 (V/W).

      Continuity should exist. 

    3. Check continuity between combination meter harness connector M25 terminal 14 (V/W) and ground.

      Continuity should not exist.
