Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit between Stereo Component Amplifier and Combination Meter

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Navigation / Multi Info Display / Navigation System / Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit between Stereo Component Amplifier and Combination Meter

DESCRIPTION

The stereo component amplifier assembly receives a vehicle speed signal from the combination meter assembly to control the ASL function.

HINT:

A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is output from each ECU and then input to the combination meter assembly. The signal is changed to a pulse signal at the transistor in the combination meter assembly. Each ECU controls the respective systems based on the pulse signal.
If a short occurs in any of the ECUs or in the wire harness connected to an ECU, related components will not operate normally.

PROCEDURE

1.	INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM)

(a) Check the output waveform.

(1) Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector(s) still connected.

(2) Connect an oscilloscope to terminal C9-40 (+S) and body ground.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(4) Turn a wheel slowly.

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

Item	Condition
Measurement terminal	C9-40 (+S) - Body ground
Tool setting	5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV.
Vehicle condition	Wheel being rotated

OK:

The waveform is similar to that shown in the illustration.

HINT:

When the system is functioning normally, one wheel revolution generates 4 pulses. As the vehicle speed increases, the width indicated by (A) in the illustration narrows.

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY)

(a) Disconnect the S23 stereo component amplifier assembly connector.

(b) Disconnect the C9 combination meter assembly connector.

Standard Resistance:
