Title: UB80E (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE): AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: P050031; Vehicle Speed Sensor "A" No Signal; 2018 - 2024 MY Camry [03/2017 -        ]

DTC

P050031

Vehicle Speed Sensor "A" No Signal

DESCRIPTION

The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU. The skid control ECU converts these wheel speed signals into a pulse signal and outputs it to the ECM via the combination meter. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of this pulse signal.

DTC No.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM assumes that the vehicle is being driven when the transmission counter gear speed is 300 rpm or more. If there is no speed signal from the combination meter despite this condition being met, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the speed signal circuit, then illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List / Vehicle Speed.

(e) Drive the vehicle.

Vehicle Speed

Vehicle speed

Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph)

Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph)

Actual vehicle speed
  • This is the current vehicle speed.
  • The vehicle speed is detected using the wheel speed sensors.
    • Vehicle speed data is delayed when it is displayed. Therefore, even if the vehicle speed listed in the freeze frame data is 0 km/h (0 mph), this does not always mean that the malfunction occurred when the vehicle was stopped.
