Introduction
This page documents Toyota speed sensors.
There are two main types of Toyota speed / position sensor, '3 Wire' and '2 Wire'. These are described in

3 Wire Speed Sensor

Wiki - wilbo666

The 3 wire speed sensor output signal is a square wave signal that connects between the input power
source (battery voltage) and the power ground. The speed sensor outputs 4 pulses (High to Low voltage
transitions) for each speed sensor revolution.

Most Toyota 3 wire speed sensors have the below (90980-11143) plug connection, however it is worth
noting that there are some 20 pulse / revolution Toyota speed sensors that have a different (triangular)
plug connection. Note, the below plug (90980-11143) connects to the speed sensor, the below plug
image does not show the pin out of the sensor, it shows the pin out of the plug that connects to the speed
sensor.

This pin is used to output the Light Blue - Red Dash

speed signal. This pin most (L-R)
commonly connects to the
dash cluster, however in
some arrangements this can
vary.
The 3 wire speed sensor
output signal is a square
wave signal that connects
between the input power
source (battery voltage) and
the power ground. The
speed sensor outputs 4
pulses (High to Low voltage
transitions) for each speed
sensor revolution.

2 Wire Speed Sensor

The 2 wire speed sensor is a variable reluctance, also refereed to as 'reluctor' or 'inductive' type sensor.
This type of speed sensors outputs an AC type voltage waveform transition each time the speed sensor
passes past a ferromagnetic tooth. The sensor requires no external power, unlike the 3 wire speed
sensor which requires external power.
It is relevant to note that when the polarity of the two wires of the 2 wire speed sensor are correct the
voltage will rise and then fall.
The voltage and frequency will both increase as the rotor speed increases.

Toyota 2 wire speed sensors have the below (90980-11156) plug connection. Note, the below plug
connects to the speed sensor, the below plug image does not show the pin out of the sensor, it shows the
pin out of the plug that connects to the speed sensor.

Dash & Engine ECU Speed Sensor Connections

There are a number of different arrangements which are used to connect the vehicle speed sensor to
both the dash cluster and the engine (and other) ECUs.
The most common connection is as follows:
Gearbox mounted 3 wire speed sensor -> Dash -> Engine ECU
JZA80 VVTi Automatic have an unconventional arrangement in which the engine ECU is responsible for
generating the speed signal to the dash.
Gearbox mount 2 wire speed sensor -> Engine ECU -> Dash
Later model systems use the Multiplex (serial communications network) to transmit the speed signal to
the dash.
Gearbox mounted speed sensor (3 or 2 wire depending on automatic or manual transmission) ->
Engine ECU -> Dash (via Multiplex network)
