Vehicle Speed Signal Error (Test Mode DTC) (C2191/91)

~3min read
DESCRIPTION

The tire pressure warning ECU receives a vehicle speed signal from the combination meter. This DTC is stored upon entering test mode and cleared when a vehicle speed signal of 20 km/h is detected for 3 seconds or more. This DTC is stored only in test mode.

Trouble Area

C2191/91

The test mode procedure is performed.

  • Combination meter assembly
  • Vehicle speed sensor circuit
  • Tire pressure warning ECU
WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When replacing the tire pressure warning ECU, read the transmitter IDs stored in the old ECU using the Techstream and write them down before removal.
  • It is necessary to perform registration of the transmitter IDs into the tire pressure warning ECU after the ECU and/or the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter has been replaced (See page ).
PROCEDURE
  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (VEHICLE SPEED)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tire Pressure Monitor / Data List.

(f) Check that the values indicated on the Techstream and on the combination meter are the same.

  1. INSPECT TIRE PRESSURE WARNING ECU (SPD SIGNAL)

(a) Disconnect the F7 ECU connector.

(b) Jack up the vehicle.

(c) Move the shift the lever to N.

(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(e) Check the waveform of the ECU connector using an oscilloscope while turning any of the wheels slowly.
