AUDIO AND VISUAL SYSTEM(w/o Parallel Parking Assist Function) Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit between Radio Receiver and Combination Meter

DESCRIPTION

for Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL) (for 6 Speakers):

• 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 that it receives 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.

for Video Compact Disc (VCD) or Digital Versatile Disc (DVD):

• The radio receiver assembly receives a vehicle speed signal from the combination meter assembly for VCD or DVD viewing restriction while driving, etc.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK VEHICLE SIGNAL (OPERATION CHECK)

   
   

   1. 

      Enter the "Vehicle Signal Check Mode" screen. Refer to Check Vehicle Signal in Operation Check.

      Click here

   2. While driving the vehicle, compare the value displayed for "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.

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

2. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM)

   
   

   1. Check the output waveform.

      1. Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector still connected.

      2. Connect an oscilloscope to terminal K3-19 (+S) and body ground.

      3. Turn the power switch on (IG).

      4. Turn a wheel slowly.

      5. 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.
