METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Tachometer Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the combination meter assembly receives engine speed signals from the ECM using the CAN communication system. The combination meter assembly displays the engine speed calculated based on the data received from the ECM.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.

    5. Check the operation by referring to the table below.


      Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Active Test
      Tester Display Measurement Item Control Range Diagnostic Note

  3. READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE RPM)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.

    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.


      Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Engine Rpm Engine speed Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 12750 rpm

      1NR-FE:

      600 to 700 rpm (Idling)

      1ZR-FAE:


      • 600 to 700 rpm (Idling (for CVT))

      • 580 to 680 rpm (Idling (for Multi-mode manual transaxle))

      1AD-FTV:


      • 720 to 820 rpm (Idling)

      1ND-TV:


      • 720 to 820 rpm (Idling)

      OK
      Engine speed displayed on the GTS is almost the same as the tachometer indication.

      Tech Tips


      • When the Data List values and tachometer values match, a signal output error of the ECM or an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

      • When the Data List values and tachometer values do not match, an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

  5. READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE SPEED, ENGINE RPM)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus:


      1. for Engine and ECT: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.

      2. for Combination Meter: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.

    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.

        1ZR-FAE:


        • 600 to 700 rpm (Idling (for CVT))

        • 580 to 680 rpm: Idling (for Manual transaxle)

        1NR-FE:

        -

        1ZR-FAE:

        666 rpm (Idling (engine warmed up and A/C off))

        • Stored as Freeze Frame Data: Yes

        • When the crankshaft position sensor is malfunctioning, "Engine Speed" is approximately 0 rpm or varies greatly from the actual engine speed.
