Vehicle Signal

On Service Menu, click "Vehicle Signal" to display the following items.

  1. Before starting inspections, check the safety around the vehicle. (Lift up the vehicle as necessary.)
  2. When VDC control module detected DTC, clear the DTC.
  3. Drive the vehicle at 9 km/h (6 MPH) or more.
  4. Check that SPD indicates vehicle speed that is almost equivalent to the figure displayed on the combination meter.
  5. Vehicle speed is not displayed. Or, when different vehicle speed is indicated, check if CAN system DTC is stored. If so, perform the diagnosis according to the DTC. When CAN system DTC is not stored, check if the DTC related to the vehicle sensor is stored for the VDC system, and perform inspection according to the procedure. If no fault is found with the CAN system and vehicle speed sensor, and the vehicle speed is displayed on the combination meter, the unit itself may be faulty.
