Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit Between Stereo Component Amplifier and Combination Meter: Procedure
- INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM)
- Check the output waveform.
- Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector still connected.
- Connect an oscilloscope to terminal J34-5 (+S) and body ground.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn a wheel slowly.
- Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
Item Condition Measurement terminal J34-5 (+S) - Body ground Tool setting 5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. Vehicle condition Wheel being rotated OK
The waveform is similar to that shown.
HINT:
When the system is functioning normally, one wheel revolution generates 4 pulses. As the vehicle speed increases, the width indicated by (A) in the graphic narrows.

OK: Go to next step
- Check the output waveform.
- INSPECT STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY (INPUT WAVEFORM)
- Check the input waveform.
- Remove the stereo component amplifier assembly with the connector still connected.
- Connect an oscilloscope to terminal P64-17 (SPD) and body ground.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn a wheel slowly.
- Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
