- The wheel speed sensor is a kind of a pulse generator. It consists of encoders (a plate on which north and south pole sides of the magnets are arranged alternately) for detecting the wheel speed which rotates at the same speed of the wheels and wheel speed sensors. This sensor outputs frequency pulse signals in proportion to the wheel speed.
- The pulse signals, which the wheel speed sensor creates, are sent to ABS-ECU. ABS-ECU uses the frequency of the pulse signals to determine the wheel speed.
|
|
ABS-ECU monitors the voltage fluctuation in each wheel speed sensor circuit. If ABS-ECU detects the open or short circuit in the circuit, it will set a diagnosis code.

Current trouble
- Damaged wiring harness and connectors
- Noise interference
- Malfunction of wheel speed sensor
- ABS-ECU malfunction
|
|
Past trouble
- Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on wiring harness and connector failures between ABS-ECU and the wheel speed sensor. For diagnosis procedures, refer to How to treat past trouble (GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).
|
|
Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnosis table ). On completion, go to Step 2.
|
|
|
|
Q.
Is the diagnosis code No. C102B set?
|
|
This diagnosis is complete.
|
|
|
|
Check the following service data (Refer to ).
|
|
- Item No.04: RR wheel speed sensor
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
(1)Disconnect the ABS-ECU connector, connect special tool ABS check harness (MB991974) to the harness-side connector, and then measure the voltage at the special tool connector side.
note |
Do not connect the special tool ABS check harness (MB991974) to ABS-ECU.
|
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. (3)Measure the voltage between the wheel speed sensor power supply terminal (signal terminal) No.16 and the body earth, and between the wheel speed sensor earth terminal No.15 and the body earth. OK: 1 volt or less
Q.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
NO (Not normal at the terminal No.16 or 15) : Go to Step 6.
|
|
(1)Disconnect the ABS-ECU connector, connect special tool ABS check harness (MB991974) to the harness-side connector, and then measure the resistance at the special tool connector side.
note |
Do not connect the special tool ABS check harness (MB991974) to ABS-ECU.
|
(2)Resistance between the wheel speed sensor power supply terminal (signal terminal) No.16 and body earth, and between the earth terminal No.15 and body earth. OK: No continuity
Q.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 8.
NO (Not normal at the terminal No.16 or 15) : Go to Step 6.
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Repair the defective connector.
|
|
|
|
- Check for short circuit in wheel speed sensor <RR> circuit
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Replace the wheel speed sensor <RR> (Refer to ).
|
|
|
|
Repair the wiring harness.
|
|
|
|
(1)Disconnect the ABS-ECU connector, connect special tool ABS check harness (MB991974) to the ABS-ECU-side connector and harness-side connector, and then measure the voltage at the special tool connector side. (2)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. (3)Measure the voltage between the wheel speed sensor circuit power supply terminal (signal terminal) No.16 and the body earth. OK: System voltage
Q.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 9.
Go to Step 11.
|
|
- Check for open circuit in wheel speed sensor <RR> circuit
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Repair the wiring harness.
|
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Replace the wheel speed sensor <RR> (Refer to ).
|
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Repair the defective connector.
|
|
|
|
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
|
|
(2)Drive the vehicle at 20 km/h or more.
note |
The ABS warning lamp does not turn OFF in some cases unless the vehicle runs at 20 km/h or higher.
|
|
|
Q.
Is the diagnosis code No. C102B set?
|
|
Replace the ABS-ECU (Refer to ).
