DTC P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor "A"
DESCRIPTION
The wheel speed sensor monitors the wheel rotation speed and sends a signal to the skid control ECU. The skid control ECU converts the wheel speed signal into a 4-pulse signal and transmits it to the ECM via the combination meter. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of the pulse signal.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
| P0500 | While vehicle being driven, no vehicle speed sensor signal to ECM. (1 trip detection logic: Automatic transaxle) (2 trip detection logic: Manual transaxle) |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Turn the tester on.
Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Date List / Vehicle Speed.
Drive the vehicle.
Read the value displayed on the tester.
- OK:
- Vehicle speeds displayed on tester and speedometer display are equal.

| CHECK INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS | |
The circuits that send vehicle speed signals to this system are inspected in the meter system (Click here).
During inspection for the meter section, if there is an instruction that indicates to go back inspections for each system, proceed to the next step.
