COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-33
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The engine-ECU and its associated components, the
combination meter assembly, the wiring harness, or
the connector(s) may be defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of the vehicle speed sensor
•Malfunction of the engine-ECU
•Malfunction of the combination meter assembly
•The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or
terminals pushed back in the connector.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. MUT-II/III actuator test.
(1) Connect the MUT-II/III to the diagnosis connector.(2) Use the MUT-II/III to enter simulated vehicle
speed.
Q: Does the speedometer show that simulated vehicle
speed?
YES :
Go to Step 6.
NO : Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check the vehicle speed sensor.
(MUT-II/III diagnosis code)
(1) Connect MUT-II/III to the diagnosis connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Read the MPI system diagnosis code.
Q: Is MPI system diagnosis code P0500 set?
YES :
Refer to P.13A-186 <4G1> or P.13B-166
<4G6>.
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Connector check: Combination meter
connector C-04 and diagnosis connector C-11.
Q: Is combination meter connector C-04 and
diagnosis connector C-11 in good condition?
YES :
Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace the damage
component(s).
STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between
combination meter connector C-04 (terminal 12)
and diagnosis connector C-11 (terminal 14).
NOTE:
Prior to the wiring harness inspection, joint connector
C-03 , and repair if necessary.
Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter
connector C-04 (terminal 12) and diagnosis
connector C-11 (terminal 14) in good condition?
YES :
Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace the wiring harness.

STEP 5. Retest the system
Q: Is the speedometer normal?
YES : .
The procedure is complete. (If no
malfunctions are found in all steps, an
intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service
Points-How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction P.00-5).
NO : . Replace the combination meter assembly.
STEP 6. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.
Q: Is the MPI-related diagnosis code set?
YES :
Refer to GROUP 13A − Troubleshooting
P.13A-15, GROUP 13B − Troubleshooting
P.13B-15.
NO : . Go to Step 7.
STEP 7. Connector check: Combination meter
connector C-04 and engine-ECU connector C-127

Q: Is combination meter connector C-04 and
engine-ECU connector C-127 in good condition?
YES : .
Go to Step 8.
NO : . Repair or replace the damage
component(s).
STEP 8. Check the wiring harness between
combination meter connector C-04 (terminal 11)
and engine-ECU connector C-125 vehicles>, C-127 (terminal
58).

NOTE:
Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check
intermediate connectors C-14 (LH drive vehicles),
C-136 (RH drive vehicles), joint connectors C-12 (LH
drive vehicles), C-134 (RH drive vehicles) and repair
if necessary.
Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter
connector C-04 (terminal 11) and engine-ECU
connector C-127 (terminal 58)
in good condition?
YES :
Go to Step 9.
NO : Repair the wiring harness.
STEP 9. Retest the system.
Q: Is the speedometer normal?
YES :
The procedure is complete. If no
malfunctions are found in all steps, an
intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service
Points-How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction P.00-5).
NO : Go to Step 10.
STEP 10. Pulse check
Use the MUT-II/III or a voltmeter to check that the
vehicle speed signal is received.
OK: The MUT-II/III sounds or the voltmeter
needle fluctuates.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES :
Replace the combination meter assembly.
NO : Replace the engine-ECU.
