Inspection Procedure

2008 Toyota Camry XLE, 2.4 ESECTION Inspection Procedure

OPERATION OF SPEEDOMETER
1. Drive the vehicle and check if the function of the speedometer on the combination meter is normal.
  OK: Actual vehicle speed and the speed indicated on the speedometer are the same.
  
  HINT:
  
  The vehicle speed sensor is functioning normally when the indication on the speedometer is normal.
  
  NG: CHECK COMBINATION METER
  
  OK: Go To Next Step
INSPECT STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER
1. Disconnect the stereo component amplifier connector F19.

2. Measure the voltage.
  1. Jack up either one of the drive wheels.
  2. Move the shift lever to the neutral position.
  3. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
  4. Measure the voltage between terminal SPD of the wire harness connector and body ground when the drive wheels are turned slowly.

  OK: Voltage pulses as shown in Fig 2 .
  
  NG: Go to step 3
OK: REPLACE STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER)

Disconnect the stereo component amplifier connector F19 and combination meter connector F2.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance

COMBINATION METER - STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER

Tester connection	Condition	Specified condition
SPD - +S	Ignition switch off	Below 1 Ω

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK: Go To Next Step

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER - BODY GROUND)

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance

STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER - BODY GROUND

Tester connection	Condition	Specified condition
SPO - Body ground	Ignition switch off	10 kΩ or higher

HINT:

If the resistance between terminal SPD and body ground is less than 10 kΩ, there may be a short in a wire harness, connector, or an ECU that is connected to the SPD signal wire.

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR OR CHECK EACH ECU

OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER

RENDER: 1.0x

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
