4. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

  1. E110199E02
    Disconnect the S40 connector.

  1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Voltage:
    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    S40-22 (SP1) - Body ground
    Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    10 to 14 V



NG
Go to step 6
OK


5. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

  1. E112071E02
    Check the input signal waveform.
    1. Remove the combination meter assembly with connector(s) still connected.

    2. Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals C9-18 (SPEED SIGNAL) and body ground.

    3. Start the engine.

    4. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.

      OK 
      Item
      Condition
      Tool setting
      5 V/DIV., 20 ms/DIV.
      Vehicle condition
      Driving at approx. 20 km/h (12 mph)

      OK:
      The waveform is displayed as shown in the illustration.

      HINT:
      As the vehicle speed increases, the cycle of the signal waveform narrows.



NG
REPLACE ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
OK

REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER AND ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY)

  1. E110197E02
    Disconnect the C9 and S40 connectors.

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

    Standard Resistance:
    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    C9-18 (SPEED SIGNAL)
    S40-22 (SP1)
    Always
    Below 1 Ω
    C9-18 (SPEED SIGNAL)
    - Body ground
    Always
    10 kΩ or higher



NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK
