DESCRIPTION
This circuit is necessary for the ASL (Auto Sound Leveliser) built into the stereo component amplifier.
Speed signals are received from the combination meter and used for the ASL.
The ASL function automatically adjusts the sound data in order to enable hearing the clear audio sound even when vehicle noise increases (as vehicle noise increases, the volume is turned up etc.).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 OPERATION OF SPEEDOMETER
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
2 INSPECT STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER


OK: Voltage pulses as shown in the illustration.
REPLACE STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER
3 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER)

Standard resistance

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

Standard resistance

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

1. INSPECT DRIVE BELT
(a) Visually check the drive belt for excessive wear,
frayed cords, etc.
If any defect is found, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered
acceptable. Replace the belt if there are any
missing ribs.
2. CHECK POWER STEERING FLUID ...
Reassembly
1. INSTALL MAGNETIC CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
(a) Install the magnetic clutch stator while aligning the
protrusion on the stator with the notch on the air
compressor assembly as shown in the illustration.
(b) Using a snap ring expander, install a new snap ring
with the chamfered side facing up.

Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles
up to approximately 400 ft. (120 m) ahead, determines the current
vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable
following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will ...
