Vehicle Speed Signal Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Infiniti M45 and 2008 Infiniti M35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Symptom: ODO/trip meter indication is malfunction.

  1. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. INPUT SIGNAL 
    1. Connect CONSULT-III, and start engine.
    2. Compare the value in "SPEED METER" of "DATA MONITOR" in "METER A/C AMP" to that in speedometer in the combination meter during driving.

    Is the value in speedometer almost same as that in the monitor? 

    Yes: Preform self-diagnosis of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Refer to "CONSULT-III FUNCTIONS (ABS) ".

    NO: GO TO  2.

  2. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. OUTPUT SIGNAL 
    1. Start engine and drive vehicle at approximately 40 km/h (25 MPH).
    2. Check voltage signal between unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector and ground.

      NOTE: Maximum voltage may be 5 V due to specifications (connected units).

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 3.

    NG-1 >> If monitor indicates "0 V" constantly, perform the following.

    1. Check each unit inputting vehicle speed signal (8 pulse). Malfunction is caused by short circuit between each unit and unified meter and A/C amp.
    2. Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

    NG-2 >> If monitor indicates "5 V" or "12 V" constantly, replace unified meter and A/C amp.

  3. CHECK CONTINUITY BETWEEN COMBINATION METER AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect combination meter connector and unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
    3. Check continuity between combination meter harness connector (A) and unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector (B).
