DTC P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction

(No.1 Vehicle Speed Sensor)

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 wavefrom by the waveform 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 pulse signals.

DIAGNOSTICS − AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1 Check operation of speedometer.

CHECK:
Drive the vehicle and check if the operation of the speedometer in the combination meter is normal.
HINT:
The vehicle speed sensor is operating normally if the speedometer display is normal.

NG Check speedometer circuit (See page BE−54).

OK

2 Check voltage between terminal SPD of ECM connector and body ground.

ON PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the rear diff. lock control ECU connector and
the center ECU connector.
(b) Shift the shift lever to neutral.
(c) Jack up a rear wheels on one side.
(−) (+) (d) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
SPD Measure voltage between terminal SPD of ECM connector and
D01655 body ground when the wheel is turned slowly.
OK:
Voltage is generated intermittently.

4 to 6 V

NG Check and repair harness and connector

between combination meter and ECM.

OK

Check and replace ECM (See page IN−34).
