DTC P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the master cylinder solenoid (skid control ECU). The master cylinder solenoid (skid control ECU) converts these wheel speed signals into a 4-pulse signal and outputs it to the ECM via the combination meter. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of these pulse signals.
DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P0500 | The vehicle speed signal from the vehicle speed sensor is cut for 0.14 second. or more while the cruise control is in operation. | Vehicle speed sensor signal circuit

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
This DTC code may be output under the SFI system (for 1GR-FE, 1UR-FE, 3UR-FE) or the ECD system (for 1VD-FTV) at the same time. In that case, perform troubleshooting for the SFI system first.
Check the engine type.

2.CHECK DTC (CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM) |
Using the intelligent tester, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Cruise Control / Trouble Code.
Perform the following to make sure the DTC detection conditions are met.
- If the detection conditions are not met, the system cannot detect the malfunction.
Drive the vehicle for more than 10 seconds when the engine coolant temperature is more than 20°C (68°F).
Check for DTCs ().
