DESCRIPTION

The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU. The skid control ECU converts these wheel speed signals into a pulse signal and outputs it to the TCM via the combination meter. The TCM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of this pulse signal.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The TCM assumes that the vehicle is being driven when the indicated vehicle speed is more than 9 km/h (5.59 mph). If there is no speed signal from the combination meter despite this condition being met, the TCM interprets this as a malfunction in the speed signal circuit. The TCM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the automatic transmission are replaced (Click here).

Tip:

After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.


  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and wait for 3 seconds or more.*1

  2. Drive the vehicle at 9 km/h (5.59 mph) or more for 5 seconds or more.*2

  3. Turn the engine switch off.

  4. Perform steps (*1) through (*2) again.

  5. Check for DTCs again (Click here).

    CHECK OPERATION OF SPEEDOMETER


    1. Drive the vehicle and check whether the operation of the speedometer in the combination meter is normal.

      Tip:

      • 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 (Click here).

    READ VALUE USING GTS (VEHICLE SPEED)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List / Vehicle Speed.

    5. Drive the vehicle.

    6. In accordance with the display on the GTS, read the Data List.

      Table 2. ECT
      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Vehicle Speed

      Vehicle speed/

      Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph)

      Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph)

      		 Actual vehicle speed -
      OK
      Vehicle speed displayed on GTS and speedometer display are equal.

    CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - TCM)


    1. Disconnect the E119 combination meter assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the A82 TCM connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E119-6 (+S) - A82-18 (SPD) Always Below 1 Ω
      E119-6 (+S) or A82-18 (SPD) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Tip:

      If the wire harness has a short, check the speed signal circuit in other systems related to the vehicle speed signal (e.g. SFI system, audio system, etc.).
