Inspection Procedure

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: COMBINATION METER SYSTEM

OK: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the multi-display connector J50.
2. Measure voltage.
   1. Jack up either one of the drive wheels.
   2. Move the shift lever to the neutral position.
   3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

   4. Measure the voltage between terminal SPD of the multi-display and body ground when the drive wheels are turned slowly.

      OK: 

      Voltage pulses as shown in the illustration.

OK: REPLACE MULTI-DISPLAY 

NG: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the multi-display connector J50 and combination meter connector J34.
2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard resistance 

   RESISTANCE REFERENCE
   
   

   Tester connection	Condition	Specified condition
   SPD-+ S	Engine switch off	Below 1 Ω

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the multi-display connector J50 and combination meter connector J34.
2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard resistance 

   RESISTANCE REFERENCE
   
   

   Tester connection	Condition	Specified condition
   SPD - Body ground	Engine switch off	10 kΩ or higher

   HINT:

   If the resistance between terminal SPD and body ground is less than 10 kΩ, there may be a short in a wire harness, connector, or an ECU that is connected to the SPD signal wire.
