Defect
On manual transmission vehicles, the pickup sensor spacer thickness is set incorrectly, allowing wear particles from inside the transmission to accumulate on the tip of the pickup sensor. When the sensor oscillates, its output signal may be temporarily disrupted. This transmits an erroneous signal to the speedometer, causing the indicated speed to momentarily read lower than actual vehicle speed while driving. Additionally, if cruise control is active, it may disengage.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the pickup sensor spacer is replaced with a corrected washer, and the O-ring is replaced with a new part.

状況
マニュアルトランスミッション車両のピックアップセンサにおいて、スペーサの厚さ設定が不適切なため、ピックアップセンサ先端にトランスミッション内の摩耗粉が付着して揺動すると、ピックアップセンサの出力信号が一時的に乱れることがある。そのため、速度計へ誤った信号が伝達され、走行中に速度計の表示が実速度に対して一瞬低く表示される、また、クルーズコントロール作動中には機能が解除されるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ピックアップセンサのスペーサを対策ワッシャと交換するとともに、新品のオーリングと交換する。
