DTC P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction


DESCRIPTION

The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU. The skid control ECU converts these wheel speed signals into a pulse signal and outputs it to the TCM via the combination meter. The TCM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of this pulse signal.

DTC Code
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0500
While the vehicle is being driven, no vehicle speed sensor signal is transmitted to the TCM (2-trip detection logic).
  1. Open or short in speed signal SPD1 circuit
  2. Combination meter system
  3. TCM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The TCM assumes that the vehicle is being driven when the indicated vehicle speed is more than 9 km/h (5.6 mph). If there is no speed signal from the combination meter despite this condition being met, the TCM interprets this as a malfunction in the speed signal circuit. The TCM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.READ VALUE USING GTS (VEHICLE SPEED)

  1. Drive the vehicle and check whether the operation of the speedometer in the combination meter assembly is normal.

    HINT:
    1. The vehicle speed sensor is operating normally if the speedometer reading is normal.
    2. If the speedometer does not operate, check it by following the procedure described for a speedometer malfunction.

  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

  1. Turn the GTS on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List.

  1. Drive the vehicle.

  1. Read the value displayed on the GTS.

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS (HILUX_TGN26 RM000004QR7008X.html)

2.CHECK COMBINATION METER SYSTEM

  1. Inspect the circuits that send vehicle speed signals to this system in the meter system (HILUX_TGN26 RM000002UD709OX.html).

  1. During inspection for the meter section, if there is an instruction that indicates to go back to inspections for each system, proceed to the next step.

3.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - TCM)

  1. Disconnect the combination meter assembly connector.

  1. Disconnect the TCM connector.

  1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    G19-6 (+S) - G41-25 (SPD1)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω

Go to step 4
OK

REPLACE TCM (HILUX_TGN26 RM0000048F3005X.html)

4.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (JUNCTION CONNECTOR - TCM)

  1. Disconnect the junction connector.

  1. Disconnect the TCM connector.

  1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    2Q-10 - G41-25 (SPD1)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
