METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Speedometer Malfunction

DTC Code DTC Name
Speedometer Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The combination meter assembly receives vehicle speed signals from the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU) via the CAN communication line. The wheel speed sensors output voltages that vary according to the vehicle speed. The brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU) supplies power to the wheel speed sensors. The brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU) calculates the vehicle speed based on the pulses of the voltage.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:
  • If the vehicle speed is outside the allowable range when tested, perform the on-vehicle inspection (Click here).

  • When replacing the combination meter assembly, make sure to replace it with a new one.

Tip:

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

PROCEDURE

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

    1. Check if a CAN communication system DTC is output.

      for LHD:Click hereClick hereClick here

      for RHD:Click hereClick hereClick here

    Result

    Proceed to

    CAN communication system DTC is not output

    CAN communication system DTC is output (for LHD)

    CAN communication system DTC is output (for RHD)

    CAN communication system DTC is output (for LHD)

    GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

    CAN communication system DTC is output (for RHD)

    GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

    CAN communication system DTC is not output
  2. CHECK ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM OR VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM

    • *1: w/o VSC

    • *2: w/ VSC

    1. Check if an anti-lock brake system*1 or vehicle stability control system*2 DTC is output.

      Anti-lock brake system:Click here

      Vehicle stability control system:Click here

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRC > Trouble Codes

    Result

    Proceed to

    DTC is not output

    Anti-lock brake system DTC is output (w/o VSC)

    Vehicle stability control system DTC is output (w/ VSC)

    Anti-lock brake system DTC is output (w/o VSC)

    GO TO ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM

    Vehicle stability control system DTC is output (w/ VSC)

    GO TO VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM

    DTC is not output
  3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (SPEED METER OPERATION)

    1. Using the GTS, perform the Active Test.

      • for km/h

      • 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

      • for mph

      • 40 → 40 to 43.5

      • 80 → 80 to 84.5

      Tip:
      • 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 brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU) or an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

    Result

    Proceed to

    The Data List values of the ECUs match

    The Data List values of the ECUs do not match

    The Data List values of the ECUs match

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

    The Data List values of the ECUs do not match
  5. CHECK COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

    1. Replace the combination meter assembly with a new or normally functioning one.

      Click here

    2. Check that the operation of the speedometer returns to nomal.

      OK

      The operation of the speedometer returns to normal.

    NG (w/ VSC)

    OK

    END (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE)

    NG (w/o VSC)

    REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (SKID CONTROL ECU)

    NG (w/ VSC)
