Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using an intelligent tester. Freeze frame data record the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data, from the time the malfunction occurred.

1. CHECK OPERATION OF SPEEDOMETER 
   1. Drive the vehicle and check if the operation of the speedometer in the combination meter is normal.

      HINT:

      • The vehicle speed sensor is operating normally if the speedometer reading is normal.
      • If the speedometer does not operate, check it by following the procedure described in SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION .

   NG: GO TO  SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION 

   OK: Go TO NEXT STEP 

2. INSPECT ECM (SPD VOLTAGE)

   1. Shift the transmission gear selector lever to the neutral position.
   2. Jack up the vehicle.
   3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
   4. Check the voltage between the terminals of the B3 and E46 ECM connectors as the wheel is turned slowly.

      Tester Connections	Specified Conditions
      SPD (E46-8) - E1 (B3-1)	Voltage generated intermittently

      HINT:

      The output voltage should fluctuate up and down similarly to the diagram when the wheel is turned slowly.

   NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

   OK: REPLACE ECM  (See REMOVAL  )
