B15C2

NAVIGATION / MULTI INFO DISPLAY: NAVIGATION SYSTEM (for Navigation Receiver Type): B15C2: Speed Signal Malfunction
B15C2 - Speed Signal Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The navigation computer sub-assembly receives a vehicle speed signal from the meter circuit plate and information from the navigation antenna assembly*1 or amplifier antenna assembly*2, and then adjusts the vehicle position.

The navigation computer sub-assembly stores this DTC when the difference between the speed information that the navigation antenna assembly*1 or amplifier antenna assembly*2 receives and the SPD pulse received from the meter circuit plate becomes large.

* *1: w/ Manual (SOS) Switch

* *2: w/o Manual (SOS) Switch

HINT
* A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is output from each ECU and then input to the meter circuit plate. The signal is changed to a pulse signal at the transistor in the meter circuit plate. 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, all systems in the diagram below will not operate normally.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
After replacing the navigation computer sub-assembly of vehicles subscribed to pay-type satellite radio broadcasts, registration of the XM radio ID is necessary (w/ SDARS System).

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK VEHICLE SENSOR (OPERATION CHECK)

(a) Enter the "Vehicle Sensors" screen. Refer to Check GPS & Vehicle Sensors in Operation Check Operation Check.





(b) While driving the vehicle, compare the "Speed" indicator to the reading on the speedometer. Check if these readings are almost equal.

HINT
The meter circuit plate receives the vehicle speed signal from the skid control ECU via CAN communication. Therefore, perform the following inspection referring to values on the Data List of the skid control ECU because it is the source of the vehicle speed signal.

OK:

Vehicle speed displayed on the "Vehicle Sensors" screen is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using the Techstream How To Proceed With Troubleshooting.

NG -- INSPECT METER CIRCUIT PLATE (OUTPUT WAVEFORM)

OK -- REPLACE NAVIGATION COMPUTER SUB-ASSEMBLY Removal

2. INSPECT METER CIRCUIT PLATE (OUTPUT WAVEFORM)

(a) Check the output waveform.





(1) Remove the meter circuit plate with the connector(s) still connected.

(2) Connect an oscilloscope to terminal L27-15 (+S) and body ground.

(3) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(4) Turn a wheel slowly.

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





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.

OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NAVIGATION COMPUTER SUB-ASSEMBLY - METER CIRCUIT PLATE)

(a) Disconnect the navigation computer sub-assembly connector.

(b) Disconnect the meter circuit plate connector.

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

Standard Resistance:





NG -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NAVIGATION COMPUTER SUB-ASSEMBLY - JUNCTION CONNECTOR)

OK -- REPLACE NAVIGATION COMPUTER SUB-ASSEMBLY Removal

4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NAVIGATION COMPUTER SUB-ASSEMBLY - JUNCTION CONNECTOR)

(a) Disconnect the navigation computer sub-assembly connector.

(b) Disconnect the junction connector.

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

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (NAVIGATION COMPUTER SUB-ASSEMBLY - JUNCTION CONNECTOR)

OK -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (JUNCTION CONNECTOR)
