LIGHTING (EXT) AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVEL CONTROL SYSTEM Speed Signal Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The headlight leveling ECU assembly receives the vehicle speed signal from the combination meter assembly.
- HINT:
- ·
A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is output from each ECU and then input to the combination meter assembly. The signal is changed to a pulse signal at the transistor in the combination meter assembly. Each ECU controls its respective system based on this pulse signal.
·If a short occurs in any of the ECUs or in the wire harness connected to an ECU, all systems in the following diagram will not operate normally.

Check the output waveform.
Remove the combination meter assembly with the connector still connected.
Connect an oscilloscope to terminal E43-6 (+S) and body ground.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
| Item | Condition |
|---|---|
| Tool setting | 5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. |
| Vehicle condition | Wheel being rotated |
- OK:
The waveform is similar to that shown in the illustration.
- HINT:
-
When the system is functioning normally, one wheel revolution generates 4 pulses. As the vehicle speed increases, the width indicated by (A) in the illustration narrows.
