METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Speedometer Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The combination meter assembly receives vehicle speed signals from the brake booster with master cylinder assembly (skid control ECU) via the CAN communication line. The wheel speed sensors output voltages that vary according to the vehicle speed. The brake booster with master cylinder assembly (skid control ECU) supplies power to the wheel speed sensors. The brake booster with master cylinder assembly (skid control ECU) calculates the vehicle speed based on the pulses of the voltage.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • When replacing the combination meter assembly, make sure to replace it with a new one.

  • If the vehicle speed is outside the allowable range when tested, perform the operation check.

Tech Tips

Before starting the following inspection, check tire size and tire air pressure.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK FOR DTC (CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM)


    1. Check if CAN communication DTCs are output.

      Click here

      OK
      CAN communication DTCs are not output.

  3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (SPEED METER OPERATION)


    1. Using the GTS, perform the Active Test.

      Click here


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

      • OFF, 0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240 (km/h) (for km/h)

      • OFF, 0, 40, 80, 120 (mph) (for mph)

      There is a deviation in the values displayed on the speedometer display (Control range → Speedometer)


        for km/h (except Australia):

      • 40 → 41.7 to 46.2

      • 80 → 83.4 to 88.4

      • 120 → 125.1 to 130.6

      • 160 → 166.2 to 173.2

      • 200 → 207.7 to 215.7

      • 240 → 249.2 to 258


        for km/h (for Australia):

      • 40 → 40.4 to 44.9

      • 80 → 80.8 to 85.8

      • 120 → 121.2 to 126.2

      • 160 → 161.6 to 166.6

      • 200 → 202 to 207

      • 240 → 242.4 to 247.4


        for mph:

      • 40 → 42 to 44.5

      • 80 → 83.1 to 87.1

      • 120 → 124.7 to 129.6

  4. READ VALUE USING GTS (VEHICLE SPEED METER)


    1. Using the GTS, read the Data List.

      Click here


      Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Vehicle Speed Meter Vehicle speed Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph) Almost the same as actual vehicle speed -

      Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Data List
      Tester Display
      Vehicle Speed Meter

      Tech Tips


      • When the Data List values of the ECUs match, an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

      • When the Data List values of the ECUs do not match, a signal output error of the brake booster with master cylinder assembly (skid control ECU) or an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

      OK
      Vehicle speed displayed on the GTS is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer).
