Inspection Procedure

  1. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Shift the shift lever (M/T) or transmission gear selector lever (A/T) to the neutral position.
    2. Jack up the vehicle.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    4. Check the voltage while turning the wheel slowly.

      Standard 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      E13-13 (SI) - Body ground Voltage generated Intermittently

      HINT:

      The output voltage should fluctuate up and down as shown in Fig 1 when the wheel is turning slowly.

  3. INSPECT SPEED SENSOR 
    1. Remove the speed sensor.
    2. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2.
    3. Connect the positive (+) lead from the tester to terminal 3 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2.
    4. Rotate the shaft.
    5. Check that the voltage output between terminals 2 and 3 varies between 0V and 11V.

    6. Reinstall the speed sensor.

    NG: REPLACE SPEED SENSOR 

    OK: Go TO NEXT STEP 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPEED SENSOR - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the E13 combination meter assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the B44 speed sensor connector.

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      E13-13 (SI) - B44-3 (SI) Below 1 Ω
      B44-2 (SE) - E13-4 (SE) Below 1 Ω
    4. Reconnect the combination meter assembly connector.
    5. Measure the voltage

      Standard voltage 

      VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B44-1 (IG+) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14V
    6. Reconnect the speed sensor connector.

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

  5. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (SPEED METER) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and the tester ON.
    3. Select the item below from the Data List, and read the value displayed on the intelligent tester.

      METER 

      DATA LIST (METER)

      Item Measurement Item/Range (Display) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      SPEED METER Vehicle speed / Min.: 0 MPH (0 km/h), Max.: 158 MPH (255 km/h) Approximately same as actual vehicle speed (When vehicle is driven) -

    OK: Vehicle speed displayed on the tester is approximately the same as the actual vehicle speed. 

    NG: GO TO  BRAKE SYSTEM 

    OK: Go TO NEXT STEP 

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the E13 combination meter assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the A4 skid control ECU connector.
