Open in Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The vehicle speed sensor circuit is sent to cruise control ECU as vehicle speed signal.
The rotor shaft is driven by the gear of the transmission.
For each rotation of the shaft, the vehicle speed sensor sends a 4 pulse signal through the combination me-
ter to the cruise control ECU (See the following).
This signal is converted inside the combination meter and sent as a 4–pulse signal to the cruise control ECU.
The ECU calculates the vehicle speed from this pulse frequency.

DTC No.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1

Input signal check.

CHECK:
(a)

See input signal check on page 

DI–478

.

(b)

Check indicator light operation when driving with vehicle
speed above 40 km/h (25 mph), and with vehicle speed
below 40 km/h (25 mph).

OK:

Vehicle speed above 40 km/h (25 mph): 
                                               Indicator light blinks
Vehicle speed below 40 km/h (25 mph):
                                               Indicator light stays on

OK

Check and replace cruise control ECU 
(See page 

IN–27

).

2

Check speedometer circuit (See Combination meter troubleshooting on page 

BE–2

).

NG

Repair or replace harness, connector or com-
bination meter assembly.

OK

3

Check harness and connector between cruise control ECU and combination me-
ter, combination meter and vehicle speed sensor (See page 

DI–493

).

NG

Repair or replace harness or connector.

OK
