DTC P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The vehicle speed sensor outputs a 4±pulse signal for every revolution of the rotor shaft, which is rotated
by the transmission output shaft via the driven gear. After this signal is converted into a more precise rectan-
gular wave form by the wave form shaping circuit inside the combination meter, it is then transmitted to the
ECM. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of these pluse signals.

HINT:
Using SST 09843 ±18020, connect the terminals Tc and E1, and remove the short pin.
If any abnormality is not found when inspection parts, inspect the ECU.
If a malfunction code is displayed during the DTC check, check the circuit listed for the code. For details
of each code, turn to the page referred to under the ºSee pageº for respective ºDTC No.º in the DTC

DTC31, 32, 33, 34Speed Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the ap-
propriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used to control
the ABS system. The front and rear rotors each have 48 serra-
tions.
When the rotors rotate, the magnetic field emitted by the perma-
nent magnet in the speed sensor generates an AC voltage.
Since the frequency of this AC voltage changes in direct propor-
tion to the speed of the rotor, the frequency is used by the ECU
to detect the speed of each wheel.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
31, 32, 33, 34
Detection of any of conditions from 1. through 4.:
1. Vehicle speed is at 10 km/h (6 mph) or more and the
speed sensor signal circuit is open or short circuit con-
tinues for 15 sec. or more.
2. Momentary interruption of the speed sensor signal oc-
curs 7 times or more.
3. Vehicle speed is at 20 km/h (12mph) or more and inter-
ference on the speed sensor signal continues for 5 sec.
or more.
4. Open circuit condition of the speed sensor signal circuit
continues for 0.5 sec. or more.

HINT:
DTC No. 31 is for the right front speed sensor.
DTC No. 32 is for the left front speed sensor.
DTC No. 33 is for the right rear speed sensor.
DTC No. 34 is for the left rear speed sensor.
Fail safe function:
If trouble occurs in the speed sensor circuit, the ECU cuts off current to the ABS solenoid relay and prohibits
ABS control.
