caution If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ).

OPERATION

  • 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.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
This diagnosis code is set if any malfunction below is found:

  • When the brake fluid pressure is decreased for a long time.

PROBABLE CAUSES

  • Damaged wiring harness and connectors
  • External noise interference
  • Malfunction of wheel speed sensor
  • ABS-ECU malfunction
  • Excessive gap between the wheel speed sensor and the magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection

STEP 7. Check for wheel speed sensor output current
Refer to .

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 8.
Replace the wheel speed sensor (Refer to <front> or <rear>). Then go to Step 11.

STEP 8. Check for wheel bearing looseness
note Loose wheel bearing may increase the gap between the wheel speed sensor and the wheel speed detection magnet encoder. Check the wheel bearing for looseness. <Refer to GROUP 26 - Wheel Bearing Axial Play Check . (front), GROUP 27A - Wheel Bearing Axial Play Check (rear-2WD) or GROUP 27B - Wheel Bearing Axial Play Check (rear-4WD)>

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 9.
Replace the wheel bearing <front> or rear wheel hub assembly <rear>. <Refer to GROUP 26 - Front Axle Hub Assembly (front), GROUP 27A - Rear Axle Hub Assembly (rear-2WD) or GROUP 27B - Rear Axle Hub Assembly (rear-4WD)> Then go to Step 12.

Check the encoder for adhesion of foreign materials or deformation.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 10.

NO (Adhesion of foreign materials) : Remove the foreign materials and clean the encoder so as not to disturb the magnetization pattern on it while taking care of the magnet, magnetic substance, and magnetic attraction. Then go to Step 12.

NO (Deformation) : Replace the wheel bearing <front> or rear wheel hub assembly <rear>. <Refer to GROUP 26 - Front Axle Hub Assembly (front), GROUP 27A - Rear Axle Hub Assembly (rear-2WD) or GROUP 27B - Rear Axle Hub Assembly (rear-4WD)> Then go to Step 12.
