Toyota 4Runner: Speed Signal Malfunction (B15C2)

Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Audio / Visual / Telematics / Navigation / Multi Info Display / Navigation System / Speed Signal Malfunction (B15C2)

DESCRIPTION

The navigation receiver assembly receives a vehicle speed signal from the combination meter assembly and information from the navigation antenna assembly, and then adjusts the vehicle position.

The navigation receiver assembly stores this DTC when the difference between the speed information that the navigation antenna assembly receives and the SPD pulse received from the combination meter assembly becomes large.

HINT:

A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is output from each ECU and then input to the combination meter assembly. The signal is changed to a pulse signal at the transistor in the combination meter assembly. Each ECU controls the respective systems based on the pulse signal.
If a short occurs in any of the ECUs or in the wire harness connected to an ECU, all systems in the diagram below will not operate normally.

DTC No.	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
B15C2	A difference between the GPS speed and SPD pulse is detected.	Navigation receiver assembly Combination meter assembly Harness or connector Junction connector

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

After replacing the navigation receiver assembly of vehicles subscribed to pay-type satellite radio broadcasts, registration of the XM radio ID is necessary.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK VEHICLE SENSOR (OPERATION CHECK)

(a) Enter the "System Sensors Check" screen. Refer to Check GPS and Vehicle Sensors in Operation Check (See page ).

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

OK:

The readings are equal or almost equal.

REPLACE NAVIGATION RECEIVER ASSEMBLY

2.	INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM)

(a) Check the output waveform.

(1) Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector(s) still connected.

(2) Connect an oscilloscope to terminal F14-28 (+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	F14-28 (+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.

3.	INSPECT NAVIGATION RECEIVER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT WAVEFORM)

(a) Check the output waveform.

(1) Remove the navigation receiver assembly with the connector(s) still connected.

(2) Connect an oscilloscope to terminal G37-17 (SPD) 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	G37-17 (SPD) - 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.

REPLACE NAVIGATION RECEIVER ASSEMBLY

4.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - NO. 4 JUNCTION BLOCK)

(a) Disconnect the F14 combination meter assembly connector.

(b) Disconnect the 4B No. 4 junction block connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
F14-28 (+S) - 4B-20	Always	Below 1 Ω

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - NO. 4 JUNCTION BLOCK)

5.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NAVIGATION RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - NO. 4 JUNCTION BLOCK)

(a) Disconnect the G37 navigation receiver assembly connector.

(b) Disconnect the 4A No. 4 junction block connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
G37-17 (SPD) - 4A-90	Always	Below 1 Ω

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (NO. 4 JUNCTION BLOCK)

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (NAVIGATION RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - NO. 4 JUNCTION BLOCK)
