METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Speedometer Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The combination meter assembly receives vehicle speed signals from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) via the CAN communication system. The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) supplies power to the vehicle speed sensor. The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) detects vehicle speed signals based on pulses of the voltage.

Tech Tips


  • Factors that affect the indicated vehicle speed include the tire size, tire inflation, and tire wear. The speed indicated on the speedometer has an allowable margin of error. This can be tested using the GTS. For details about testing and the margin of error, see the reference chart.

  • If the vehicle speed sensor circuit has a malfunction, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) stores DTCs. Troubleshoot the vehicle stability control system.

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


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    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
      Speed Meter Operation Speedometer

      for 2AR-FE:

      OFF, 0, 40, 80, 120, 160 km/h

      for 2GR-FE:

      OFF, 0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200 km/h

      There is a deviation in the values displayed on the speedometer

      for 2AR-FE


      • 40 → 41.7 to 46.2

      • 80 → 83.4 to 88.4

      • 120 → 125.1 to 130.6

      • 160 → 166.2 to 173.2

      for 2GR-FE


      • 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

  4. READ VALUE USING GTS (VEHICLE SPEED, VEHICLE SPEED METER)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus:


      1. for ABS/VSC/TRC: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Data List.

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

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


      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRC > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Vehicle Speed Maximum wheel speed sensor reading Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Vehicle stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph) When driving at constant speed: No large fluctuations

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      The data list values of the ECUs match. A
      The data list values of the ECUs do not match. B

      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 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) or an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.
