DTC 21 Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The vehicle speed sensor signal is sent to the cruise control ECU as the vehicle speed signal.
The rotor shaft in driven by the gear of the transaxle.
For each rotation of the shaft, the speed sensor sends a 4−pulse signal to the combination meter.
This signal is converted inside the combination meter and sent as a 4−pulse signal to the cruise control ECU.
The ECU calculates the vehicle speed from this pulse frequency.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Input signal check.
PREPARATION:
(a) See input signal check on page DI−328.
(b) Check the indicator light operation when each of the SET/
COAST, RESUME/ACCEL and CANCEL is turned ON.
OK:
SET/COAST, RESUME/ACCEL switch:
The signals shown in the table on the left should be
output when each switch is ON. The signal should
disappear when the switch is turned OFF.
CANCEL switch:
The indicator light goes off when the cancel switch is
turned on.
OK Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
matrix chart (See page DI−336).

Stop Light Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the brake is on, battery positive voltage normally applies through the stop fuse and stop light switch
to terminal STP− of the ECU, and the ECU turns the cruise control off.
A fail−safe function is provided so that cancel functions normally, even if there is a malfunction in the stop
light signal circuit.
If the harness connected to terminal STP− has an open, terminal STP− will have battery positive voltage and
the cruise control will be turned off, also SET not occurring.
Also, when the brake is on, the magnetic clutch is cut electrically by the stop light switch, turning the cruise
control off. (See page DI−338 for operation of the magnetic clutch)
