Inspection Procedure

  1. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM) 
    1. Check the output waveform.
      1. Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector still connected.
      2. Connect an oscilloscope to terminal E55-36 (+S) and body ground.
      3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      4. Turn the wheel slowly.
      5. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
        ITEM CONDITION REFERENCE CHART

        Item Condition
        Tool setting 5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV.
        Vehicle condition Driving at approx. 20 km/h (12 mph)

        OK: 

        The waveform is displayed as 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: GO TO METER / GAUGE SYSTEM  (See METER / GAUGE SYSTEM )

        OK: Go to Next Step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the stereo component amplifier connector and combination meter assembly connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
