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
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.
PROBABLE CAUSES
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/How to
Treat Past Trouble ).
