Lexus NX: Speedometer Malfunction

Lexus NX Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Meter / Gauge / Display / Meter / Gauge System / Speedometer Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The combination meter assembly receives vehicle speed signals from the brake booster with master cylinder assembly (skid control ECU) via the CAN communication line. The wheel speed sensors output voltages that vary according to the vehicle speed. The brake booster with master cylinder assembly (skid control ECU) supplies power to the wheel speed sensors. The brake booster with master cylinder assembly (skid control ECU) calculates the vehicle speed based on the pulses of the voltage.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When replacing the combination meter assembly, make sure to replace it with a new one.
  • If the vehicle speed is outside the allowable range when tested, perform the operation check.

HINT:

Before starting the following inspection, check tire size and tire air pressure.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK FOR DTC (CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM)

(a) Check for DTCs.

Click here

OK:

No DTCs are output.

NG

GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

OK

2.

CHECK FOR DTC (ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM)

(a) Check for DTCs.

Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Trouble Codes

OK:

No DTCs are output.

NG

GO TO ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM

OK

3.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (SPEED METER OPERATION)

(a) Using the Techstream, perform the Active Test.

  • OFF, 0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240 (km/h) (for km/h)
  • OFF, 0, 40, 80, 120 (mph) (for mph)

There is a deviation in the values displayed on the speedometer display (Control range → Speedometer)

with km/h units:
  • 40 → 38.2 to 42.7
  • 80 → 78.3 to 83.3
  • 120 → 118.7 to 123.7
  • 160 → 159.1 to 164.1
  • 200 → 199.5 to 204.5
  • 240 → 239.9 to 244.9
with mph units:
  • 40 → 39.0 to 41.8
  • 80 → 79.2 to 82.4
  • 120 → 119.6 to 122.8

HINT:

  • When the Data List values of the ECUs match, an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.
  • When the Data List values of the ECUs do not match, a signal output error of the brake booster with master cylinder assembly (skid control ECU) or an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

OK:

Vehicle speed displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer).

OK

REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
