STEP 5. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 24: 
Vehicle Speed Sensor.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Start the engine.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

24, Vehicle Speed Sensor.

• Check that the speedometer and MB991958 display 

speed match when traveling at a vehicle speed of 40 
km/h (25 mph).

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

P.00-6

.

NO :  Replace the ECM. Then go to Step 17.

STEP 6. Measure the sensor supply voltage at ECM 
connector C-60 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect the ECM connector C-60.
(2) Disconnect the vehicle speed sensor connector B-39.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(4) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 86 and ground 

by backprobing.

• Voltage should be between 4.8 and 5.2 volts.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.8 and 5.2 volts?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Replace the ECM. Then go to Step 17.

STEP 7. Check connector C-60 at ECM for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Check connector B-36 at intermediate connector for 

damage, and repair or replace as required. Refer to 
GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. If intermediate connector is in good 

condition, repair harness wire between vehicle speed 
sensor connector B-39 (terminal No. 3) and ECM 
connector C-60 (terminal No. 86) because of open 
circuit. Then go to Step 17.

NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 17.

STEP 8. Check connector B-39 at vehicle speed sensor for 
damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 17.

STEP 9. Measure the power supply voltage at vehicle 
speed sensor harness side connector B-39.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-39 and measure at the harness 

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 and ground.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) 

present?
YES : Go to Step 10.
NO :  Check connectors B-36, C-28, C-78, C-112 and C-111 

at intermediate connector for damage, and repair or 
replace as required. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 
Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. If intermediate 

connectors are in good condition, repair harness wire 
between ignition switch connector C-87 (terminal No. 
2) and vehicle speed sensor connector B-39 (terminal 
No. 1) because of open circuit or short circuit to 
ground. Then go to Step 17.

STEP 10. Check the continuity at vehicle speed sensor 
harness side connector B-39.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-39 and measure at the harness 

side.

(2) Check for the continuity between terminal No. 2 and 

ground.

• Should be less than 2 ohms.

Q: Is the continuity normal?

YES : Go to Step 11.
NO :  Check connector B-36 at intermediate connector for 

damage, and repair or replace as required. Refer to 
GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. If intermediate connector is in good 

condition, repair harness wire between vehicle speed 
sensor connector B-39 (terminal No. 2) and ground 
because of open circuit or harness damage. Then go 
to Step 17.
