Toyota Venza: Speedometer Malfunction
DESCRIPTION
The meter CPU receives vehicle speed signals from the skid control ECU via the CAN communication system (CAN No. 1 Bus). The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU. The skid control ECU supplies power to the vehicle speed sensor. The skid control ECU detects vehicle speed signals based on the pulses of the voltage.
HINT:
- Factors that affect the indicated vehicle speed include tire size, tire
inflation, and tire wear. The speed indicated on the speedometer has an
allowable margin of error. This can be tested using a speedometer tester
(calibrated chassis dynamometer). For details about testing and the margin
of error, see the reference chart (See page
.gif)
). - If the vehicle speed sensor circuit has a malfunction, the skid control
ECU outputs the DTCs. Refer to troubleshoot Brake Control System (See page
).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
If the vehicle speed is outside the allowable range when tested, perform the
following procedure (See page ).
HINT:
Before starting the following inspection, check tire size and tire air pressure.
