15. Vehicle Speed Sensor 2
A: GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
(1) Be careful not to drop or bump sensor as this
may break built-in magnet.
(2) Drive key is designed to separate from vehicle
speed sensor 2. Be careful not to lose it or forget
to install.
(3) Vehicle speed sensor 2 is installed in part
(which contains bearings, etc., finished to a high
degree of accuracy). Do not allow foreign matter
(filings, sand, etc.) to get into it.
(4) When checking output of vehicle speed sensor
2 as a single unit, ensure test leads are connected
to their correct terminals. Failure to do this may
damage internal IC.
(5) Discard vehicle speed sensor 2 after removal;
replace with new one.
B: REMOVAL
CAUTION:
IBe careful when removing vehicle speed
sensor 2 immediately after driving vehicle for a
while, as temperature around it is high.
IBefore removing vehicle speed sensor 2,
clean dirt, etc. from surrounding areas. Take
care not to allow foreign matter to get into
mounting hole.
1) Remove collector cover.
2) Disconnect vehicle speed sensor 2 connector.
B2M0211
3) Turn and remove vehicle speed sensor 2.
4) Remove key and packing.
C: INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
IEnsure sensor mounting hole is clean and
free of foreign matter.
IApply grease to tip end of key to prevent key
from falling off sensor.
IAlign tip end of key with key groove on end
of speedometer shaft during installation.
1) Hand tighten vehicle speed sensor 2, then
tighten it using suitable tool.Tightening torque required for sensor to reach bot-
tom of transmission is as follows:
Tightening torque:
0.39 Ð 0.88 N´m (4.0 Ð 9.0 kg-cm, 3.5 Ð
7.8 in-lb)
CAUTION:
IWhen torque must be applied that exceeds
0.88 N´m (9.0 kg-cm, 7.8 in-lb), the key and key
groove on end of speedometer may not be
aligned properly. Remove the key, align it cor-
rectly and reassemble.
ISensor threads are secured by Locktite. The
reassembly must be completed within 5 min-
utes before Locktite dries.
2) Tighten vehicle speed sensor 2 further to speci-
fied torque.
Tightening torque:
5.9
±1.5 N´m (60±15 kg-cm, 52±13 in-lb)

4) Turn ignition switch OFF with main switch ON
(which is indicated by illumination.).
5) Turn ignition switch ON again to ensure that
indicator light remains OFF.
2. COMMAND SWITCH
1) Check that command switch is properly set in
ªSET/COASTº, ªRESUME/ACCELº or ªCANCELº
mode.
2) Also check that command switch returns to the
original position when released.
3. CONSTANT SPEED TEST
1) Turn main switch ON.
2) Drive vehicle at speed greater than 40 km/h (25
MPH).
3) Press command switch to set in ªSET/COASTº
mode.
4) Ensure that vehicle is maintained at the speed
set when command switch was pressed.
4. ACCELERATION TEST
1) Set vehicle speed at speed greater than 40
km/h (25 MPH).
2) Ensure that vehicle continues to accelerate
while holding command switch in RESUME/
ACCEL mode, and that vehicle maintains that
optional speed when command switch is released.
5. DECELERATION TEST
1) Set vehicle speed at optional speed greater
than 40 km/h (25 MPH).
2) Ensure that vehicle continues to decelerate
while holding command switch in SET/COAST
mode, and that it maintains that optional speed
when command switch is released.
NOTE:
When vehicle speed reaches the lower speed limit
of 30 km/h (19 MPH) during deceleration, cruise
control will be released.

5) Some connectors are provided with a lock. One
type of such a connector is disconnected by push-
ing the lock, and the other, by moving the lock up.
In either type the lock shape must be identified
before attempting to disconnect the connector.
To connect, insert the connector until it snaps and
confirm that it is tightly connected.
G6M0213
6) When checking continuity between connector
terminals, or measuring voltage across the termi-
nal and ground, always contact tester probe(s) on
terminals from the wiring connection side. If the
probe is too thick to gain access to the terminal,
use ªminiº test leads.
To check water-proof connectors (which are not
accessible from the wiring side), contact test
probes on the terminal side being careful not to
bend or damage the terminals.
G6M0214
7) Sensors, relays, electrical unit, etc., are sensi-
tive to strong impacts.
Handle them with care so that they are not dropped
or mishandled.
