TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

The cause may be a faulty vehicle speed sensor cir-
cuit system or a faulty speedometer. Vehicle speed 
sensor is also used by the engine-ECU.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the vehicle speed sensor

• Malfunction of the engine-ECU

• Malfunction of the combination meter assembly

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector.
