DTC B15C2: Speed Signal Malfunction [12/2019 - 10/2022]: Procedure

  1. CHECK DTC 
    1. Clear the DTCs.

      Body Electrical > Navigation System > Clear DTCs 

    2. Recheck for DTCs and check that no DTCs are output.

      Body Electrical > Navigation System > Trouble Codes 

      OK

      No DTCs are output.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [12/2019 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK VEHICLE SENSOR (OPERATION CHECK) 
    1. Enter the "System Sensors Check" screen. Refer to Check GPS & Vehicle Sensors in Operation Check.

      Refer to OPERATION CHECK [12/2019 - 10/2022]

    2. While driving the vehicle, compare the value of "Speed" to the reading on the speedometer. Check if these readings are almost equal.

      HINT: 

      The combination meter assembly receives the vehicle speed signal from the skid control ECU via CAN communication. Therefore, perform the following procedure inspection referring to values in the Data List of the skid control ECU because it is the source of the vehicle speed signal.

      OK

      Vehicle speed displayed on the "System Sensors Check" screen is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using the GTS.

      for HV Model: Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [12/2019 - 11/2023]

      for Gasoline Model: Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [12/2019 - 11/2023]

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM) 
    1. Check the output waveform.

      *a Component with harness connected
      (Combination Meter Assembly)
      1. Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector(s) still connected.
      2. Connect an oscilloscope to terminal H21-6 (+S) and body ground.
      3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      4. Turn a wheel slowly.
      5. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
        Item Condition
        Measurement terminal H21-6 (+S) - Body ground
        Tool setting 5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV.
        Vehicle condition Wheel being rotated

        OK

        The waveform is similar to that shown in the illustration.

        HINT: 

        When the system is functioning normally, one wheel revolution generates 4 pulses. As the vehicle speed increases, the width indicated by (A) in the illustration narrows.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    GO TO METER / GAUGE SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [12/2019 - ] 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NAVIGATION ECU - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the H18 navigation ECU connector.
    2. Disconnect the H21 combination meter assembly connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      H18-9 (SPD) - H21-6 (+S) Always Below 1 Ω
      H18-9 (SPD) or H21-6 (+S) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. REPLACE NAVIGATION ECU 
    1. Replace the navigation ECU with a new or known good one.

      Refer to REMOVAL [12/2019 - 10/2022]

      Result

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  6

  6. CHECK DTC 
    1. Clear the DTCs.

      Body Electrical > Navigation System > Clear DTCs 

    2. Recheck for DTCs and check that no DTCs are output.

      Body Electrical > Navigation System > Trouble Codes 

      OK

      No DTCs are output.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    END (NAVIGATION ECU IS DEFECTIVE) 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [12/2019 - 10/2022]
