Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit between Navigation Receiver Assembly and Combination Meter: Description

Navigation function:

The navigation receiver assembly receives a vehicle speed signal from the combination meter and information about the GPS antenna, and then adjusts vehicle position.

ASL function:

The circuit is necessary for the ASL (Automatic Sound Levelizer) built into the radio receiver. Speed signals are received from the combination meter and used for the ASL. The ASL function automatically adjusts the sound volume in order to maintain clear audio sound even when vehicle noise increases (as vehicle noise increases, the volume is turned up etc.).

HINT:

• A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is output from each ECU and then input to the combination meter. The signal is changed to a pulse signal at the transistor in the combination meter. Each ECU controls the respective system based on the pulse signal.
• If a short occurs in any of the ECUs or in the wire harness connected to an ECU, all systems in the diagram will not operate normally.
