DESCRIPTION
The radio receiver assembly receives a vehicle speed signal from the combination meter assembly for restricting DVD viewing while driving, etc.
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 its respective system based on this 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.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Depending on the parts that are replaced during vehicle inspection or maintenance, performing initialization, registration or calibration may be needed. Refer to Precaution for Audio and Visual System.
PROCEDURE
CHECK VEHICLE SIGNAL (OPERATION CHECK)
Enter the "Vehicle Signal Check Mode" screen. Refer to Check Vehicle Signal Check Mode in Operation Check.
While driving the vehicle, compare the value of "SPEED" to the reading on the speedometer. Check if these readings are almost equal.
Tech Tips
The combination meter assembly receives the vehicle speed signal from the skid control ECU via CAN communication. Therefore, perform the following inspection referring to values on the Data List of the skid control ECU because it is the source of the vehicle speed signal.

| Vehicle speed displayed on the "Vehicle Signal Check Mode" screen is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using the GTS. |

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(s) still connected.
Connect an oscilloscope to terminal K3-19 (+S) and body ground.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn a wheel slowly.
Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
| Item | Condition |
|---|---|
| Measurement terminal | K3-19 (+S) - 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.

INSPECT RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY (INPUT WAVEFORM)
| *a | Component with harness connected (Radio Receiver Assembly) |
Check the input waveform.
Remove the radio receiver assembly with the connector(s) still connected.
Connect an oscilloscope to terminal K58-56 (SPD) and body ground.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn a wheel slowly.
Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
| Item | Condition |
|---|---|
| Measurement terminal | K58-56 (SPD) - Body ground |
| Tool setting | 5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. |
