Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Toyota Prius. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK OPERATION OF SPEEDOMETER 
    1. Drive the vehicle and check if the function of the speedometer in the combination meter is normal.

      OK : Actual vehicle speed and the speed indicated on the speedometer are the same. 

      HINT:

      The vehicle speed sensor is functioning normally when the indication on the speedometer is normal.

    NG : GO TO SPEEDOMETER CIRCUIT 

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL) 
    1. Check the DATA LIST for proper functioning of the vehicle speed signal.
