1Was “ENGINE DIAG. FLOW TABLE” performed?Go to Step 2.Go to “ENGINE
DIAG. FLOW
TABLE”.
2Does speedometer indicate vehicle speed?Go to Step 3.Speedometer
cable disconnected
or broken.
3Check VSS and Its Circuit.
1) Disconnect ECM connector with ignition switch OFF.
2) Check for proper connection to ECM (PCM) at terminal
C03-2.
3) If OK, then connect ohmmeter between terminal
C03-2 of ECM (PCM) connector and body ground.
4) Hoist front end of vehicle and lock front right tire.
5) Turn front left tire slowly.
Does ohmmeter indicator deflect between 0 and infinity a
few times while tire is turned one revolution?
See Fig. 1.Intermittent trouble
or faulty ECM.
Check for
intermittent
referring to
“Intermittent and
Poor Connection”
in section 0A.Go to Step 4.
4Check VSS.
1) Remove combination meter.
2) Connect ohmmeter between “VSS” terminal and “GND”
terminal of combination meter and turn cable joint of
speedometer with a screwdriver. Ohmmeter indicator
should move back and forth between 0 and infinity
4 times while cable joint is turned one full revolution.
See Fig. 2.
Is it in good condition?“P”, “Y/G” or “B/Bl”

WARNING:

When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.

Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester, on a level road.
1) Turn ignition switch OFF and then ON.
2) Clear DTC and warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
3) Increase vehicle speed to 50 mph, 80 km / h in “2” range.
4) Release accelerator pedal and with engine brake applied, keep vehicle coasting (fuel cut condition) for 4 sec.
or more.
5) Stop vehicle and check DTC and pending DTC.
