Inspection Procedure

  1. DATA LIST 

    HINT:

    According to the Data List displayed by Techstream, you can read the values of switches, sensors, actuators and so on without removing parts. Reading the Data List as the first step of troubleshooting is one method to save time.

    NOTE: In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
    3. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the ignition switch ON, and turn the tester main switch ON.
    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Data List.
    6. According to the display on the tester, read the "Data List".

      Engine and ECT 

      NORMAL CONDITION CHART

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      SPD (SP2) Output shaft speed/
      Min. 0 km/h (0 mph)
      Max 255 km/h (158 mph)
      Vehicle stopped 0 km/h (0 mph) (output shaft speed is equal to vehicle speed) -

      HINT:

      • SPD (SP2) is always 0 while driving:

        Open or short in the sensor or circuit.

      • SPD (SP2) value displayed on the tester is much lower than the actual vehicle speed:

        Sensor trouble, improper installation, or intermittent connection trouble in the circuit.

  1. INSPECT SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION 
    1. Check the speed sensor (SP2) installation.

      OK: The installation bolt is tightened properly and there is no clearance between the sensor and transmission case. 

    NG: SECURELY INSTALL SENSOR OR REPLACE SENSOR

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  2. INSPECT SPEED SENSOR (SP2) 
    1. Disconnect the speed sensor connector from the transmission.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE REFERENCE

      Tester Connection Specified Condition 20°C (68°F)
      1 - 2 560 to 680 Ω

    NG: REPLACE SPEED SENSOR (SP2)

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPEED SENSOR SP2 - ECM) 
    1. Connect the speed sensor connector.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE REFERENCE

      Tester Connection Specified Condition 20°C (68°F)
      E6-34 (SP2+) - E6-26 (SP2-) 560 to 680 Ω
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance (Check for short) 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE REFERENCE

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      E6-34 (SP2+) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      E6-26 (SP2-) - Body ground

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE ECM
