Test Dr-9A - Testing Vehicle Speed Sensor (Code 24)

NOTE: For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION  . For appropriate wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS  at end of article.
  1. Ensure speedometer drive and cable are operational. Disconnect DRB-II adapter from diagnostic connector. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Connect an analog voltmeter to diagnostic connector terminal No. 11. See Fig 1 . While watching voltmeter, rotate both front wheels simultaneously.

  2. If voltage pulsates while wheels are rotated, replace Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Perform TEST VER-2. If voltage does not pulsate while wheels are rotated, turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect instrument cluster connectors. Turn ignition switch to ON position.
  3. Measure voltage at instrument cluster connector terminal No. 59 (Yellow/White wire). See Fig 2 . If voltage is less than 4 volts, go to next step. If voltage is more than 4 volts, measure resistance between instrument cluster connector terminal No. 2 and ground. If resistance is more than 10 ohms, repair Black wire for an open circuit to ground. Perform TEST VER-2. If resistance is less than 10 ohms, replace speed sensor. Perform TEST VER-2.
  4. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect ECU 24-pin connector. Measure resistance between ECU 24-pin connector terminal No. 18 (Yellow/White wire) and ground. If resistance is less than 10 ohms, repair Yellow/White wire for a short to ground. Perform TEST VER-2.
  5. If resistance is more than 10 ohms, measure resistance of Yellow/White wire between ECU 24-pin connector terminal No. 18 and instrument cluster connector terminal No. 59. If resistance is less than 10 ohms, replace ECU. Perform TEST VER-2. If resistance is more than 10 ohms, repair open Yellow/White wire. Perform TEST VER-2.
