DTC P0500 VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR ”A”
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor for skid control ECU detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the
skid control ECU.
The skid control ECU converts these wheel speed signals into a 4–pulse signal and outputs it to the ECM
via the combination meter.
The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of these pulse signals.

than P and N positions)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM assumes that the vehicle is driven when the RPM of the transmission counter gear indicates more
than 300 rpm and it has been over 30 seconds since the park/neutral position switch was turned OFF. If there
is no signal from the vehicle speed sensor with these conditions satisfied, the ECM concludes that there is
a fault in the vehicle speed sensor. The ECM will turn on the MIL and a DTC is set.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand−held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether
the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air–fuel ratio was lean or rich,
etc. at the time of the malfunction.
1 CHECK OPERATION OF SPEEDOMETER
(a) Drive the vehicle and check if the operation of the speedometer in the combination meter is normal.
HINT:
The vehicle speed sensor is operating normally if the speedometer display is normal.
NG CHECK SPEEDOMETER CIRCUIT
(See page 05–601)
OK
2 INSPECT ECM(SPD VOLTAGE)
E1 (–) SPD (+) (a) Shift the lever to the neutral position.
E6
(b) Jack up the vehicle.
E4
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(d) Measure the voltage between the specified terminals of
the E4 and E6 ECM connectors as the wheel is turned
slowly.
Standard:
Tester Connection Specified Condition
ECM Connector A18294 SPD (E4–17) – E1 (E6–7) Generated intermittently
HINT:
The output voltage should fluctuate up and down similarly to the
diagram on the left when the wheel is turned slowly.
