Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit between Radio Receiver and Combination Meter

DESCRIPTION

This circuit is necessary for the ASL (Auto Sound Leveliser) built into the radio receiver.

Speed signals are received from the combination meter and used for the ASL.

The ASL function automatically adjusts the sound data in order to enable the driver to hear clear audio sound even when vehicle noise increases (as vehicle noise increases, the volume is turned up, etc.).

HINT:

  • A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is output from each ECU and then input to the combination meter. The signal is changed to a pulse signal at the transistor in the combination meter. Each ECU controls the respective system based on the pulse signal.
  • If a short occurs in an ECU, all systems in the diagram below will not operate normally.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK OPERATION OF SPEEDOMETER

(a) Drive the vehicle and check if the function of the speedometer on the combination meter is normal.

OK:

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

OK

2.

INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (SPEED SIGNAL)


(a) Disconnect the I3*1 or I9*2 radio receiver assembly connector.

HINT:

*1: for 8 Speakers

HINT:

*2: for 14 Speakers

(b) Jack up the drive wheels.

(c) Move the shift lever to N.

(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(e) Using an oscilloscope, check the signal waveform of the combination meter assembly.

Terminal Connection

I3-3(SPD)*1 - Body ground

I9-4(SPD)*2 - Body ground

Tester Range

5 V/DIV., 20 msec./DIV

Vehicle Condition

Drive vehicle at 20 km/h (12 mph)

HINT:

  • *1: for 8 Speakers
  • *2: for 14 Speakers
  • As the vehicle speed increases, the wavelength shortens.

OK:

Voltage pulses as shown in the illustration.

(f) Reconnect the radio receiver assembly connector.

OK

3.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY)


(a) Disconnect the I3*1 or I9*2 radio receiver assembly connector.

HINT:

*1: for 8 Speakers

HINT:

*2: for 14 Speakers

(b) Disconnect the H37 combination meter assembly connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:
