DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE 

STEP 1. Check the speedometer.

(1) Connect the MUT-II/III to the diagnosis connector.
(2) Use the MUT-II/III to enter simulated vehicle 

speed.

Q: Does the speedometer show that simulated vehicle 

speed?

YES : 

Go to Step 5

NO : 

Go to Step 2

STEP 2. Connector check: Combination meter 
connector C-04 and diagnosis connector C-24

Q:  Is combination meter connector C-04 and 

diagnosis connector C-24 in good condition?

YES : 

Go to Step 3

NO : 

Repair or replace the damage 
component(s).

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between 
combination meter connector C-04 (terminal 46) 
and diagnosis connector C-24 (terminal 14).

NOTE: Prior to the wiring harness inspection, joint 
connector C-02, and repair if necessary.

Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter 

connector C-04 (terminal 46) and diagnosis 
connector C-24 (terminal 14) in good condition?

YES : 

Go to Step 4

NO : 

Repair or replace the damage 
component(s).

STEP 4. Retest the system.

Q: Is the speedometer normal?

YES : 

The procedure is complete. (If no 

malfunctions are found in all steps, an 
intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer 
to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service 
Points-How to Cope with Intermittent 
Malfunction 

P.00-6

).

NO : 

Replace the combination meter assembly.

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.

Q: Is the MPI-related diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Refer to GROUP 13A 

−

P.13A-16

or GROUP 13B 

−

P.13B-20

.

NO : 

Go to Step 6

STEP6. Connector check: Joint connector C-02 
and engine-ECU <2000> connector C-137 or 
engine-ECU <2400> connector C-141

Q:  Is joint connector C-02 and engine-ECU <2000> 

connector C-137 or engine-ECU <2400> connector 
C-141 in good condition?

YES : 

Go to Step 7

NO : 

Repair or replace the damage 
component(s).
