| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P050031 | Vehicle Speed Sensor "A" No Signal |
DESCRIPTION
The combination meter assembly distributes the vehicle speed signal sent by the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU) to the ECM and other ECUs via direct line. The combination meter assembly outputs 11 to 14 V from terminal SI to the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU). The brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU) converts this voltage into the vehicle speed signal. When 4.5 to 14 V is applied to terminal +S of the combination meter assembly by the ECM, the combination meter assembly converts this voltage into the vehicle speed signal received at terminal SI.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P050031 | Vehicle Speed Sensor "A" No Signal | While vehicle being driven, no vehicle speed sensor signal transmitted to ECM (2 trip detection logic). |
|
Comes on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P0500 |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If there is no speed signal from the combination meter assembly even though the ECM determines that the vehicle is being driven, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the speed signal circuit. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on [A].
Start the engine.
Drive the vehicle at 24 km/h (15 mph) or more for a total of 30 seconds or more [B].
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Stop the vehicle.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P050031.
Check the DTC judgment result.

Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and check the DTC judgment result again.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Start the engine and turn the GTS on [A].
Drive the vehicle at 24 km/h (15 mph) or more for a total of 30 seconds or more [B].
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Decelerate the vehicle by releasing the accelerator pedal for 5 seconds or more to perform the fuel-cut [C].
Stop the vehicle.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [D].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P050031.

Tech Tips
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. 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.
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING GTS (VEHICLE SPEED)
