Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit

DESCRIPTION

This circuit sends a speed signal from the combination meter assembly to the clearance warning ECU.

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 its respective system based on the pulse signal.
  • If a short occurs in any of the ECUs or in the wire harness connected to an ECU, both systems in the diagram below will not operate normally.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1.

INSPECT 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.

CHECK COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (SPEED SIGNAL)


(a) Disconnect the H43 clearance warning ECU connector.

(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 meter.

Waveform

Tester Connection

H43-3 (SPD) - Body ground

Tester Range

5 V/DIV., 20 msec./DIV.

Vehicle Condition

Drive vehicle at 20 km/h (12 mph)

HINT:

As the vehicle speed increases, the wave length shortens.

OK:

Voltage pulses as shown in the illustration.

(f) Reconnect the clearance warning ECU connector.

OK

3.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CLEARANCE WARNING ECU - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY)


(a) Disconnect the H43 clearance warning ECU connector.

(b) Disconnect the H37 combination meter assembly connector.

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

Standard Resistance:
