    DTC P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction: Circuit Description

    Uploaded by

    Jimmy
    This document provides diagnostic information for a P0500 vehicle speed sensor malfunction code on a 2000 Toyota Celica. It describes the vehicle speed sensor circuit which outputs a 4-pulse signal to the combination meter and ECM for each revolution of the transmission output shaft. It lists the trouble areas that could cause the DTC, including the combination meter, vehicle speed sensor circuit, speed sensor, and ECM. The inspection procedure involves first checking the operation of the speedometer, then measuring the voltage output of the vehicle speed sensor terminal on the ECM while turning the wheel. If no intermittent voltage is detected, the harness and connectors between the combination meter and ECM should be checked. If the checks pass, the

    The document discusses diagnosing a P0500 DTC related to a vehicle speed sensor and provides troubleshooting steps.

    A P0500 DTC indicates that the ECM is not receiving a vehicle speed sensor signal while the vehicle is being driven.

    First check the speedometer for normal operation, then check for voltage at the ECM connector terminal when the wheel is turned slowly.

    DTC P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction

    CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
    The No.1 vehicle speed sensor outputs a 4–pulse signal for every revolution of the rotor shaft, which is ro-
    tated 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 combination meter, it is then transmitted
    to the ECM. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of these pluse signals.

    INSPECTION PROCEDURE
    HINT:
    Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand–held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records
    the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected, when troubleshooting it is useful for determining
    whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine warmed up or not, the air–fuel ratio lean or rich, etc.
    at the time of the malfunction.

    1 Check operation of speedometer.

    CHECK:
    Drive the vehicle and check if the operation of the speedmeter 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 combination


    meter troubleshooting (See page BE–2).

    OK

    2 Check voltage between terminal SPD of ECM connector and body ground.

    PREPARATION:
    ON (a) Remove the ECM cover.
    (b) Shift the shift lever to neutral.
    (c) Jack up one of the front wheels.
    (d) Turn the ignition switch ON.
    CHECK:
    Measure voltage between terminal SPD of ECM connector and
    body ground when the wheel is turned slowly.
