METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Tachometer Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the combination meter assembly receives engine speed signals from the ECM via CAN communication. The combination meter assembly displays the engine speed calculated based on the data received from the ECM.

3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (TACHOMETER 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. Perform the Active Test according to the display on the GTS.

      
      Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Active Test

      Tester Display	Measurement Item	Control Range	Diagnostic Note
      TachoMeter Operation	Tachometer	OFF, 0, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000	-

      
      Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Active Test

      Tester Display
      TachoMeter Operation

      OK
      Tachometer indication is normal.

      Result
      Proceed to OK NG

4. READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE RPM)

   
   

   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 / Data List.

   5. Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.

      
      Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Data List

      Tester Display	Measurement Item	Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
      Engine Rpm	Engine speed	Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 12750 rpm	Almost the same as actual tachometer	-

      
      Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Data List

      Tester Display
      Engine Rpm

      OK
      Engine speed displayed on the GTS is almost the same as the tachometer indication.

      Tech Tips

      
      

      • When the Data List values and tachometer values match, a signal output malfunction of the ECM or an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

      • When the Data List values and tachometer values do not match, an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

      Result
      Proceed to OK NG

6. READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE SPEED, ENGINE RPM)

   
   

   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 Engine: Powertrain / Engine / Data List.

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

   5. Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.

      
      

      1. Engine

         
         Powertrain > Engine > Data List

         Tester Display	Measurement Item	Range	Normal Condition	Reference Value	Diagnostic Note
         Engine Speed	Engine speed	Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 16383 rpm	for 2GR-FSE: 600 to 700 rpm: Idling for 8AR-FTS: 750 to 850 rpm: Idling (shift lever in N, engine warmed up and A/C off)	for 2GR-FSE: Idling (engine warmed up and A/C off): 635 rpm for 8AR-FTS: -	Stored as freeze frame data: Yes When the crankshaft position sensor is malfunctioning, "Engine Speed" is approximately 0 rpm or varies greatly from the actual engine speed.

         
         Powertrain > Engine > Data List

         Tester Display
         Engine Speed

      2. Combination Meter

         
         Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Data List

         Tester Display	Measurement Item	Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
         Engine Rpm	Engine speed	Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 12750 rpm	Almost the same as actual tachometer	-

         
         Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Data List

         Tester Display
         Engine Rpm

      Result
      Result Proceed to The Data List values of the ECUs do not match. A The Data List values of the ECUs match. B

      Tech Tips

      
      

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

      • When the Data List values of the ECUs do not match, a signal output malfunction of the ECM or an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

7. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

   
   

   1. Replace the combination meter assembly with a new or known good one.

      Click here

      OK
      The operation of the tachometer returns to normal.

      Result
      Proceed to OK NG

   
   

   OK
