Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual: Speed Signal Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The combination meter assembly receives the vehicle speed signal from this circuit. The wheel speed sensors produce an output that varies according to the vehicle speed. The wheel speed sensor output is received by the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) which uses this information to create the vehicle speed signal*. The vehicle speed signal consists of pulses sent to the combination meter assembly from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). To create this signal, 12 V is output from IG2 which is behind a resistor in the combination meter assembly. This voltage is sent to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). The pulse signal is created by switching the transistor in the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) on and off, making the voltage on the wire drop to 0 V. A similar system is used for the output of this signal from the combination meter assembly via terminal +S. A voltage of 12 V is applied to terminal +S from each ECU or relay that is connected to this terminal. The transistor in the combination meter assembly is controlled by the signal from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). When this transistor is turned on, this transistor makes the voltage supplied by the various ECUs (via their respective internal resistors) drop to 0 V. Each ECU connected to terminal +S of the combination meter assembly controls its respective system based on this pulse signal.

  • *: This vehicle speed signal is created by the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). There is no actual component that is referred to as the vehicle speed sensor. In addition, for some systems, vehicle speed information may be received via CAN communication.

HINT:

This circuit is used for the systems connected to terminal +S. This signal is not used for combination meter assembly operation. Combination meter assembly components such as the speedometer operate using data received via CAN communication.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the combination meter assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a combination meter assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in it will not match the information from the vehicle and a DTC may be stored.
