DESCRIPTION

Vehicles, which are equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Brake System), detect the vehicle speed using the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) and speed sensor. The speed sensor monitors the wheel rotation speed and sends a signal to the skid control ECU. The skid control ECU converts the wheel speed signal into a 4-pulse signal and transmits it to the ECM via the combination meter assembly. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of the pulse signal.

Tip:

  • Various systems use the vehicle speed signal distributed from the combination meter assembly. Check all the components possibly related to the speed signal.

  • 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 the respective system based on the pulse signal.

  • If a short occurs in any of the ECUs or in the wire harness connected to an ECU, all systems using the speed signal will not operate normally.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here ) and initialization (Click here).

Tip:

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

    READ VALUE USING GTS (VEHICLE SPEED)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Vehicle Speed.


      1. Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Data List
        Tester Display
        Vehicle Speed




    5. Drive the vehicle.

    6. Read the value displayed on the GTS.

    CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the combination meter assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G9-19 (+S) - G85-10 (SPD) Always Below 1 Ω
      G9-19 (+S) or G85-10 (SPD) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

    4. Reconnect the combination meter assembly connector.

    5. Reconnect the ECM connector.

    CONFIRM WHETHER MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Clear the DTCs.


      1. Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Clear DTCs


    3. Turn the ignition switch off.

    4. Start the engine.

    5. Drive the vehicle at 10 km/h (6.25 mph) or more and perform a fuel cut.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

    7. Confirm that the pending DTC is not output again.
