DTC P0720 VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR A/T (REVOLUTION SENSOR)
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001327196
The revolution sensor detects the revolution of the parking gear and emits a pulse signal. The pulse signal is
sent to the TCM which converts it into vehicle speed.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Basic Inspection
INFOID:0000000001327676
BRAKE FLUID AMOUNT, LEAKS, AND BRAKE PADS INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid.
2. Check brake piping and around ABS actuator and electric uni t (control unit) for leaks. If there is leaking or
oozing fluid, check the following items.
 If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connec tion is loose, tighten piping to the specified torque
and re-perform the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.
 If there is damage to the connection flare nut or AB S actuator and electric unit (control unit) screw,
replace the damaged part and re-perform the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.
 When there is fluid leaking or oozing from a part other than ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
connection, if fluid is just oozing out, use a clean cl oth to wipe off the oozing fluid and re-check for leaks.
If fluid is still oozing out, replace the damaged part.
 When there is fluid leaking or oozing at ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), if fluid is just oozing
out, use a clean cloth to wipe off oozing fluid and re-che ck for leaks. If fluid is still oozing out, replace
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) body.
CAUTION:
ABS actuator and electric unit (contr ol unit) body can not be disassembled.
3. Check brake pad degree of wear. Refer to BR-18, "
On-Vehicle Inspection" in “Front Disc Brake” and BR-
24, "On-Vehicle Inspection" in “Rear Disc Brake”
POWER SYSTEM TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY INSPECTION
Make sure battery positive cable, negative cabl e and ground connection are not loose. If looseness is
detected, tighten the cables. In additi on, check the battery voltage to make sure it has not dropped and alter-
nator is normal.
ABS WARNING LAMP, VDC OFF INDICATOR LAMP, SLIP INDICATOR LAMP AND BRAKE WARN-
ING LAMP INSPECTION
Symptom Symptom description Result
Motor operation noise This is noise of motor in
side ABS actuator and electr ic unit (control unit).
Slight noise may occur during VDC, TCS, and ABS operation.
Normal
When the vehicle speed goes over 20 km/h (12.5 MPH), motor and valves
operating noise may be heard. It happens only once after ignition switch is
ON. This is a normal status of the system operation check.
System operation check noise When engine starts, slight “click” noise may be heard from engine room.
This is normal and is part of system operation check. Normal
VDC/TCS operation
(SLIP indicator lamp blinking) TCS may activate momentarily if wheel speed changes when driving over
location where friction coefficient varies, when up/downshifting, or when ful-
ly depressing accelerator pedal.
Normal
Cancel the VDC/TCS
function for the inspec-
tion on a chassis dyna-
mometer.
For inspection of speedometer or other instruments, press VDC OFF switch
to turn VDC/TCS function off.
When accelerator pedal is depressed on a chassis dynamometer (fixed
front-wheel type), vehicle speed will not increase. This is not normal. It is re-
sult of TCS being activated by stationary front wheels. Warning lamp may
also illuminate to indicate “sensor system error”. This is also normal, and is
the result of the stationary front wheels being detected. To be certain, restart
engine, and drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more. Make sure warning
lamp does not illuminate.
ABS operation
(Longer stopping distance) On roads with low friction coefficients, such as snowy roads or gravel roads,
vehicles with ABS may require a longer stopping distance. Therefore, when
driving on such roads, avoid overconfidence and keep speed sufficiently
low.
Normal
Insufficient feeling of accelera-
tion Depending on road conditions, driver may feel that feeling of acceleration is
insufficient. This is because traction control, which controls engine and
brakes to achieve optimal traction, has the highest priority (for safety). As a
result, there may be times when acceleration is slightly less than usual for
the same accelerator pedal operation.
Normal

UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT
 Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled by the
unified meter control unit, which is built into the comb ination meter. Unified meter control unit receives sig-
nals from unified meter and A/C amp.
 Warning lamp and indicator lamp of combination meter are controlled by signals drawn from the unified meter and A/C amp.
 Odo/trip meter, A/T indicator and ICC system disp lay segments can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
 Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
Refer to DI-26, "System Description" in “UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP”.
POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
Power is supplied at all times
 through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
 to combination meter terminal 8, and
 to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 21.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
 through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
 to combination meter terminal 7,
 through 10A fuse [No. 12, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
 to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 22.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
 through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
 to combination meter terminal 4,
 through 15A fuse [No. 10, located in the fuse block (J/B)], and
 through 15A fuse [No. 11, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
 to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 46.
Ground is supplied
 to combination meter terminals 5, 6 and 15
 through grounds M35, M45 and M85,
 to unified meter and A/C amp. terminals 29 and 30
 through grounds M35, M45 and M85.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed.
 ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provides a vehicle speed signal to the unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.
 Unified meter and A/C amp. converts the vehicle s peed signal to the 8-pulse signal, and outputs the vehicle
speed signal (8-pulse) to combination meter.
 Combination meter indicates the vehicle speed according to vehicle speed signal (8-pulse) signal.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
 ECM provides engine speed signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.
 Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine speed signal to combination meter with communication line.
