Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota Sequoia. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK OPERATION OF SPEEDOMETER
- 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 speed indicated on the speedometer has an allowable margin of error. This can be tested using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer). For details about testing and the margin of error, refer to "Operation Check" in the meter/gauge system (See OPERATION CHECK ).
- The vehicle speed sensor is functioning normally when the indication on the speedometer is normal.
NG: GO TO METER / GAUGE SYSTEM (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )
OK: Go to Next Step
- Drive the vehicle and check if the function of the speedometer in the combination meter is normal.
- INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (SPEED SIGNAL)
- Disconnect the I6 navigation receiver assembly connector.
- Jack up the drive wheels.
- Move the shift lever to the neutral position.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Using an oscilloscope, check the signal waveform of the meter.
Waveform
