DESCRIPTION
The vehicle approaching speaker controller receives the vehicle speed signal from the combination meter assembly.
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 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 in the diagram below will not operate normally.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE
INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM)
Check the input waveform.
Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector(s) still connected.
Connect an oscilloscope to terminal I18-9 (+S) and body ground.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the wheel slowly.
Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
| Item | Condition |
|---|---|
| Tool setting | 5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. |
| Vehicle condition | Wheel being rotated |
| *a | Component with harness connected (Combination Meter Assembly) |
| OK |
|---|
| The waveform is displayed as 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.
