7. Basic Diagnostics Procedure

OBD0340
AG: DTC P0500
—VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR MALFUNCTION
(VSP)—
DESCRIPTION:

The speedometer system is an electric type; it uses no
speedometer cable and drives the speedometer according
to electric pick-up sensor (vehicle speed sensor 2).
The speed sensor 2 is installed on the transmission. The
speed sensor 2 sends the vehicle speed signal (8 pulses
per one turn of speed sensor driven shaft) to the speed
detection circuit in the speedometer where this signal pulse
wave is regulated.
The regulated pulse signal (4 pulses per one turn of speed
sensor driven shaft) is sent to the speedometer drive cir-
cuit and odometer (trip meter) drive circuit.
The output signal from vehicle speed detection circuit is
also used in ECM, TCM, etc.
B6H0022A
B6H0021A

The speed sensor 2 consists of a magnetic resistance
element, magnet ring, driven shaft, spring, etc.
As the driven key rotates, the magnet turns to change the
magnetic field of the coil.
The coil generates power corresponding to a change in the
magnetic field.
One turn of the driven key in the vehicle speed sensor 2
sends 8 pulses of AC signal to the combination meter.
DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

Immediately at fault recognition
