Speedometer Inoperative

  1. If speedometer is completely inoperative, check internal power supply. Turn ignition on, engine off. Measure voltage (backprobe) between Natural color IPC 18-pin connector terminals "J" (Dark Blue/White wire) and "K" (White wire). If 7 volts or more are present, internal power supply is okay. Go to next step. If voltage is less than 7 volts, see INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RESISTANCE CHECK  .
  2. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, observe status of SPEEDO FEEDBACK. If feedback status is high, go to step 4). If feedback status is not high, turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM J1 connector. Turn ignition on. Connect voltmeter between PCM connector terminal J1D06 (Dark Green wire) and ground.
  3. If battery voltage is present, check for good terminal contact at PCM connector. If battery voltage is not present, turn ignition off. Reconnect PCM connector. Disconnect Black IPC connector. Connect fused jumper wire between IPC connector terminals "H" (Pink wire) and "J" (Dark Green wire). If SPEEDO FEEDBACK status is HIGH, see INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RESISTANCE CHECK  . If SPEEDO FEEDBACK status is not HIGH, repair open or short circuit to ground in Dark Green wire. If wire is okay, check for good terminal contact at PCM.
  4. Drive vehicle for a short distance and observe status of SPEEDO FEEDBACK. If status toggles between HIGH and LOW, see INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RESISTANCE CHECK  . If speedometer does not toggle between HIGH and LOW, disconnect Black IPC connector. If feedback status stays HIGH, check for short circuit to voltage in Dark Green wire. If circuit is okay, check for poor terminal contact at PCM. If feedback status does not stay HIGH, see INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RESISTANCE CHECK  .
