AUDIO AND VISUAL SYSTEM Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit between Radio Receiver and Combination Meter

DESCRIPTION

The multi-media module receiver assembly receives a vehicle speed signal from the combination meter assembly to control the ASL function

Tech Tips


  • 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 its respective system based on this pulse signal.

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

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

Check that the wire harness is properly installed and does not have any sharp bends, pinching or loose connections.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM)

      *a

      Component with harness connected

      (Combination Meter Assembly)

      Check the output waveform.


      1. Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector still connected.

      2. Connect an oscilloscope to terminal N40-19 (+S) and body ground.

      3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

      4. Turn a wheel slowly.

      5. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.

        Item Condition
        Measurement terminal N40-19 (+S) - Body ground
        Tool setting 5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV.
        Vehicle condition Wheel being rotated
        OK
        The waveform is similar to that shown in the illustration.

        Tech Tips

        When the system is functioning normally, one wheel revolution generates 4 pulses. As the vehicle speed increases, the width indicated by (A) in the illustration narrows.

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MULTI-MEDIA MODULE RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY)


    1. Disconnect the N162 multi-media module receiver assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the N40 combination meter assembly connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N162-56 (SPD) - N40-19 (+S) Always Below 1 Ω
      N162-56 (SPD) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
