DTC Descriptor
DTC B0000 5A: Vehicle Speed Information Circuit Not PlausibleDiagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Vehicle Speed Signal | B0000 5A | B0000 5A | B0000 5A | B0000 5A |
Circuit/System Description
The radio receives a vehicle speed signal from the electronic brake control module (EBCM) in order to correlate actual vehicle speed to the movement of the vehicle calculated by the navigation system and reported serial data.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Radio ON. |
| • | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | Vehicle speed from serial data is more than 5 km/h (3 mph) and vehicle speed pulse from the EBCM is 0 km/h (0 mph). |
| • | Vehicle speed calculated from the navigation processing software is more than 36 km/h (22 mph) and vehicle speed pulse from the EBCM is 0 km/h (0 mph) for 10 seconds continuously. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | Turn by turn route navigation may be inoperative. |
| • | Vehicle indicated location may be inaccurate. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles. |

Circuit/System Testing
Note: Diagnose any antilock brake system (ABS) related DTCs before performing this diagnostic.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the A11 radio.
- Ignition ON, operate the vehicle drive wheels at 5 mph. Test for 3-7 Hertz between the VSS circuit terminal 20 and ground.
- If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, test the VSS circuit for an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal replace the K17 EBCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
