Speed Signal Circuit

METER / GAUGE / DISPLAY: METER / GAUGE SYSTEM: Speed Signal Circuit
- Speed Signal Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The combination meter sub-assembly receives the vehicle speed signal from this circuit. The wheel speed sensors produce an output that varies according to the vehicle speed. The wheel speed sensor output is received by the skid control ECU which uses this information to create the vehicle speed sensor signal*a. The vehicle speed sensor signal consists of pulses sent to the combination meter sub-assembly from the skid control ECU. To create this signal, 12 V is output from IG2 which is behind a resistor in the combination meter sub-assembly. This voltage is sent to the skid control ECU. The pulse signal is created by switching the transistor in the skid control ECU on and off, making the voltage on the wire drop to 0 V. A similar system is used for the output of this signal from the combination meter sub-assembly via terminal +S. A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is applied to terminal +S from each ECU or relay that is connected to this terminal. The transistor in the combination meter sub-assembly is controlled by the signal from the skid control ECU. When this transistor is turned on, this transistor makes the voltage supplied by the various ECUs (via their respective internal resistors) drop to 0 V. Each ECU connected to terminal +S of the combination meter sub-assembly controls its respective system based on the pulse signal.

* *a: This vehicle speed sensor signal is created by the skid control ECU. There is no actual component that is referred to as the vehicle speed sensor. In addition, for some other systems, vehicle speed information may be exchanged using CAN communication.

HINT
This circuit is used for the systems connected to terminal +S. This signal is not used for combination meter sub-assembly operation. Combination meter sub-assembly components such as the speedometer operate using data received via CAN communication.
