Speed Signal Circuit: Procedure

  1. CHECK COMBINATION METER SYSTEM 
    1. The circuit that sends vehicle speed signals to the combination meter system is inspected in the meter service information. Refer to Speed Signal Circuit .

    NEXT: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH ASSEMBLY - COMBINATION METER) 
    1. Disconnect the F42 windshield wiper switch assembly connector and F15 combination meter connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F42-6 (SPD) - F15-3 (+S) Always Below 1 Ω

      *1 Front view of wire harness connector
      (to Windshield Wiper Switch Assembly)
      *2 Front view of wire harness connector
      (to Combination Meter Assembly)

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL) 
    1. Check the output waveform.

      1. Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector still connected.
      2. Connect an oscilloscope to terminal F15-3 (+S) and body ground.
      3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      4. Turn a wheel slowly.
      5. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
        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.

        *1 Component with harness connected
        (Combination Meter)

    NG → See step   5 

    OK → See step   4 

  4. PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [03/2012 - 07/2012]  
  5. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  COMPONENTS [03/2012 - ]
