Inspection Procedure
- INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
- Shift the shift lever (M/T) or transmission gear selector lever (A/T) to the neutral position.
- Jack up the vehicle.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Check the voltage while turning the wheel slowly.
Standard
TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester 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.
OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
NG: Go TO NEXT STEP
- CHECK TRANSAXLE TYPE
B: Go to step 5
A: Go TO NEXT STEP
- INSPECT SPEED SENSOR
- Remove the speed sensor.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the tester to terminal 3 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2.
- Rotate the shaft.
- Check that the voltage output between terminals 2 and 3 varies between 0V and 11V.
- Reinstall the speed sensor.
NG: REPLACE SPEED SENSOR
OK: Go TO NEXT STEP
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPEED SENSOR - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the E13 combination meter assembly connector.
- Disconnect the B44 speed sensor connector.
- Measure the resistance
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition E13-13 (SI) - B44-3 (SI) Below 1 Ω B44-2 (SE) - E13-4 (SE) Below 1 Ω - Reconnect the combination meter assembly connector.
- Measure the voltage
Standard voltage
VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Condition Specified Condition B44-1 (IG+) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14V - Reconnect the speed sensor connector.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
- READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (SPEED METER)
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and the tester ON.
- Select the item below from the Data List, and read the value displayed on the intelligent tester.

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
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the E13 combination meter assembly connector.
- Disconnect the A4 skid control ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition E13-E13 (SI) - A4-12 (SP1) Below 1 Ω A4-32 (GND2) - Body ground Below 1 Ω
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
