DTC - General Description

DTC P0500 VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR "A"

1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Judge as NG when outside of the judgment value.
Judge NG when the received data from ABSCM&H/U is abnormal vehicle speed, and the vehicle speed data is impossible.

2. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Vehicle speed signals are taken in to the ABS control module and hydraulic control unit, and normal/erroneous data of the ABS wheel speed sensor is received by CAN communication from the ABS control module and hydraulic control unit.

3. ENABLE CONDITION






4. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE
Always perform diagnosis more than 2000 ms after starting the engine.

5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

- Abnormality Judgment
If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is longer than the time indicated, judge as NG.






Time Needed for Diagnosis: 2500 ms
Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates as soon as a malfunction occurs.

- Normality Judgment
Judge as OK and clear the NG if the continuous time while the following conditions are established is more than the predetermined time.






Time Needed for Diagnosis: 2500 ms

6. DTC CLEAR CONDITION
- When the OK idling cycle is completed 40 times in a row
- When "Clear Memory" is performed

7. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CLEAR CONDITIONS
- When the OK driving cycle is completed 3 times in a row
- When "Clear Memory" is performed

8. FAIL SAFE
- Accelerator sensor signal process: Not allowed full closed point learning (hold the previous value)
- ABS wheel speed sensor signal process: Vehicle speed = 10 km/h (6 MPH)
- Fuel cut control: Not allowed vehicle speed 0 km/h (0 MPH) fuel cut. Normally the high vehicle speed fuel cut performs on vehicle speed condition and engine speed, but perform the fuel cut only on engine speed condition (4400 rpm or more).
- ISC control: Open loop compensation is set to (1 g (0.04 oz) oz/s) Not allowed ISC feedback volume calculation.
- Air conditioner control: Not allowed air conditioner cut at accelerating.
- Radiator fan control: Both main and sub fan ON drive
- Gear ratio judgment: Gear = Control as fixed in sixth gear

9. ECM OPERATION AT DTC SETTING
Memorize the freeze frame data. (For test mode $02)
