B3M0256
6) Push the TCS OFF switch to ON. (With TCS models)
7) Start the engine and set vehicle in 20 km/h (12 MPH)
condition.
8) Measure output signal of vehicle speed sensor 2.
WARNING:
Be careful not to be caught up by the running wheels.
9) Using a voltage meter; measure voltage between termi-
nals of vehicle speed sensor 2.
Terminals / Specified voltage:
(B17) No. 1—No. 2 / AC 2 V, or more
NOTE:
The speed difference between front and rear wheels may
light either the ABS or the ABS/TCS warning light, but this
indicates no malfunctions. When AT control diagnosis is
finished, perform the ABS or the ABS/TCS memory clear-
ance procedure of self-diagnosis system.

(5) Push the TCS OFF switch to ON. (With TCS mod-
els)
(6) Start the engine, and drive the wheels slowly.
(7) Measure signal voltage indicated on oscilloscope.
Specified voltage: AC 2 V, or more
NOTE:
The speed difference between front and rear wheels may
light either the ABS or the ABS/TCS warning light, but this
indicates no malfunctions. When AT control diagnosis is
finished, perform the ABS or the ABS/TCS memory clear-
ance procedure of self-diagnosis system.

4. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM.
1) Connect connector to vehicle speed sensor 2.
2) Lift-up the vehicle or set the vehicle on free roller.
CAUTION:
On AWD models, raise all wheels off floor.
3) Push the TCS OFF switch to ON. (With TCS models)
4) Start the engine, and drive the wheels slowly.
5) Measure voltage between TCM and body.
Connector & terminal / Specified voltage:
(B56) No. 11—Body / Less than 1↔
more than 9 V
NOTE:
The speed difference between front and rear wheels may
light either the ABS or the ABS/TCS warning light, but this
indicates no malfunctions. When AT control diagnosis is
finished, perform the ABS or the ABS/TCS memory clear-
ance procedure of self-diagnosis system.

A: BASIC DIAGNOSTIC CHART
If no trouble codes appear in the on-board diagnostic
operation (although problems have occurred or are
occurring), measure performance characteristics of
sensors, actuators, etc., in the“F”mode (select monitor
function), and compare with the“basic data”to determine
the cause of problems.
Trouble occurs.
No trouble codes appear in on-board diagnostic operation.
Measure each item in select mode function.
Compare measured values with basic data.
Determine item which is outside basic data specifications.
Check sensor and actuator affected.
