STEP 2. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), read the MFI diagnostic trouble code.
Check whether the MFI system-related DTC is stored.
Is the DTC stored?
Diagnose MFI system. (Refer to GROUP 13A, Troubleshooting .) After diagnosing the MFI system, go to Step 6.
Go to Step 3.
 
STEP 3. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), check data list
Check the vehicle speed signal data list of MFI system.
Item No.4: Vehicle speed signal (Refer to GROUP 13A, Data list reference table .)
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4.
Diagnose MFI system. (Refer to GROUP 13A, Troubleshooting .) After diagnosing the MFI system.
 
STEP 4. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), check actuator test.

Go to Step 6.
Replace the combination meter, and then go to Step 6.
 
STEP 6. Retest the system.
Check that the speedometer works normally.
Is the check result normal?
The procedure is complete. (If no malfunctions are found in all steps, an intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer to GROUP 00 / How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
