Code No. P0502: Vehicle Speed Sensor Low Input

OPERATION

A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the vehicle speed sensor (terminal No. 3) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 119).

FUNCTION

The vehicle speed sensor converts the vehicle speed to the voltage, and then input it into the engine-ECU

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Conditions

Engine is running
Engine coolant temperature is 80°C or higher
The last fuel injection rate exceeds the specified value.
Engine speed is 2,900 r/min or more.

Judgment Criterion

Vehicle speed is 5 km/h or lower for 2 seconds.

PROBABLE CAUSES

Failed vehicle speed sensor
Open/short circuit in vehicle speed sensor circuit or loose connector contact
Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the speed meter

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 2.

	Check the speed meter (Refer to GROUP 54A -Combination Meter Assembly - On-vehicle Service - Speedometer Check ).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III data list

Refer to Data List ReferenceTable .

Item 04: Vehicle speed sensor

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).

	Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Connector check: D-215 engine-ECU connector

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 4.

	Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 4. Check harness between D-215 (terminal No. 119) engine-ECU connector and C-16 (terminal No. 3) Vehicle speed sensor connector.

note

Before checking harness, check intermediate connectors D-228, D-230 and repair if necessary.

Check output line for open/short circuit and damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 5.

	Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 5. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code

Reconfirmation of diagnosis code.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

	Replace the engine-ECU. When the engine-ECU is replaced, write the chassis number (Refer to GROUP 00 - Precautions Before Service - How to Perform Chassis Number Writing ). After replacing the engine-ECU, register the injector identification code and learn fuel injection (Refer to GROUP 00 - Precautions Before Service - What The Common Rail Engine Learns ).

	Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
