To diagnose the P0500 Toyota code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
Vehicles, which are equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Brake System), detect the vehicle speed using the Skid Control ECU (Brake Actuator Assembly) and speed sensor. The speed sensor monitors the wheel rotation speed and sends a signal to the Skid Control ECU. The Skid Control ECU converts the wheel speed signal into a 4-pulse signal and transmits it to the Engine Control Module (ECM) via the combination meter assembly. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of the pulse signal.
If there is no speed signal from the combination meter assembly even though the ECM determines that the vehicle is being driven, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the speed signal circuit. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
