METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Speedometer Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The combination meter assembly receives vehicle speed signals from the skid control ECU via the CAN communication system. The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU. The skid control ECU supplies power to the vehicle speed sensor. The skid control ECU 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 Click here.

  • If the vehicle speed sensor circuit has a malfunction, the skid control ECU stores DTCs. Troubleshoot the Electronically Controlled Brake System Click here.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

If the vehicle speed is outside the allowable range when tested, perform the on-vehicle inspection Click here.

Tech Tips

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

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM


    1. Check if CAN communication DTCs are output (See page w/ Central Gateway ECU, Click here w/o Central Gateway ECU).

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication DTCs are not output. A
      CAN communication DTCs are output (w/ Central Gateway ECU). B

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


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.

    5. Perform the Active Test according to the display on the GTS.

      except RHD without Rear Fog Light:

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


      • 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 258.0

      for RHD without Rear Fog Light:

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


      • 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 → 202.0 to 207.0

      • 240 → 242.4 to 247.4
      OK
      Speedometer indication is normal.

  3. CHECK ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM


    1. Check if electronically controlled brake system DTCs are output Click here.

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


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power 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. Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.

      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 or an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.
