Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Tachometer Malfunction

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Meter / Gauge / Display / Meter / Gauge System / Tachometer Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the meter CPU receives engine speed signals from the ECM using the CAN communication system (CAN V1 Bus). The meter CPU displays the engine speed calculated based on the data received from the ECM.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

(a) Check if a CAN communication DTC is output (See page Result Result ).

Result

Result	Proceed to
CAN communication DTC is not output	A
CAN communication DTC is output	B

GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

2.	PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (TACHOMETER OPERATION)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.

(e) According to the display on the Techstream, perform the Active Test.

Combination Meter

Tester Display	Test Part	Control Range	Diagnostic Note
TachoMeter Operation	Tachometer	OFF, 0, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000	Operate with IG ON and the vehicle is stopped.

OK:

Tachometer indication is normal.

REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

3.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ENGINE RPM)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Start the engine.

(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.

(e) According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.

Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 12750 rpm

550 to 650 rpm: idling (for 2GR-FKS with Automatic Transmission)
500 to 600 rpm: idling (for 2GR-FKS with Manual Transmission)
700 to 800 rpm: Idling (for 2TR-FE with Automatic Transmission)
600 to 700 rpm: idling (for 2TR-FE with Manual Transmission)

OK:

Engine speed displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the tachometer indication.

HINT:

Check the engine speed when the engine is fully warmed up, and the air conditioning and all electrical accessories are off.

REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

4.	CHECK ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM

(a) Check if a engine control DTC is output.

for 2TR-FE: (See page )
for 2GR-FKS: (See page )

Result

Result	Proceed to
Engine control DTC is not output	A
Engine control (for 2TR-FE) DTC is output	B
