Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit between Radio Receiver and Combination Meter

DESCRIPTION

for Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL):

This circuit is necessary for the Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL) built into the radio receiver assembly.
The Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL) function automatically adjusts the audio system volume level in order to compensate for increased vehicle noise (vehicle noise tends to increase as vehicle speed increases). The ASL adjusts the volume level based upon vehicle speed signals sent from the combination meter assembly.

for "Bluetooth":

Vehicle speed signals are received from the combination meter assembly and used to cancel "Bluetooth" function operation.
The radio receiver assembly recognizes that the vehicle is being driven and makes it impossible to connect or register a "Bluetooth" device while driving.

Tech Tips

A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is output from each ECU and then input to the combination meter assembly. The signal is changed to a pulse signal at the transistor in the combination meter assembly. 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 following diagram will not operate normally.

PROCEDURE

INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM)

*a	Component with harness connected (Combination Meter Assembly)

Check the output waveform.

Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector still connected.
Connect an oscilloscope to terminals F1-6 (+S) and body ground.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the wheel slowly.

Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.

Item	Condition
Measurement terminal	F1-6 (+S) - Body ground
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.

Tech Tips

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.

INSPECT RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY (INPUT WAVEFORM)

*a	Component with harness connected (Radio Receiver Assembly)

Check the output waveform.

Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector still connected.
Connect an oscilloscope to terminal F47-17 (SPD) and body ground.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn a wheel slowly.

Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.

Item	Condition
Measurement terminal	F47-17 (SPD) - Body ground
Tool setting	5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV.
Vehicle condition	Wheel being rotated

OK
The waveform is similar to that shown in the illustration.

Tech Tips

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.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY)

Disconnect the F47 radio receiver assembly connector.
Disconnect the F1 combination meter assembly connector.

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

Standard Resistance

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
F47-17 (SPD) - F1-6 (+S)	Always	Below 1 Ω
F47-17 (SPD) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
