DTC 42 No. 1 Vehicle Speed Sensor Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The No.1 vehicle speed sensor outputs a 4±pulse signal for every revolution of the rotor shaft, which
is rotated by the transmission output shaft via the driven gear. After this signal is converted into a more
precise rectangular waveform by the waveform shaping circuit inside the odometer and trip meter, it is
then transmitted to the engine control module. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the
frequency of these pulse signals.

ECM
HINT: In test mode, diagnostic trouble code 42 is output when vehicle speed is 5 km/h (3 mph) or
below.

Waveform between terminals SP1 and E1 when vehicle
speed is approx. 20 km/h (12mph).
HINT: As the vehicle speed increases, the number of signals
from SP1 increases. EG±556

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
(See page EG±510)
(1) Shift the shift lever to N position.
(2) Jack up one of the rear wheels.
(3) Connect SST (check harness ªAº).
(See page
EG±510)
(4) Disconnect power steering ECU connector
and cruise control ECU connector.
(5) Turn ignition switch ON.
Measure voltage between terminal SP1 of engine
control module connector and body ground when
the wheel is turned slowly.
Voltage is generated intermittently.
Check voltage between terminal SP1 of engine control module connector
and body ground.
Check and replace engine control module.
Repair or replace harness or connector between
ECM and telltale light RH.
Repair or replace harness or connector between
telltale light RH and No.1 vehicle speed sensor.
Replace No.1 vehicle speed sensor.
Check operation of odometer and trip meter (telltale light RH
(See page Be±48)).
Check operation of No.1 vehicle speed sensor (See page BE±46).
