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 ).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.

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 ASC-ECU. ASC-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.
  • When the brake fluid pressure is held for a long time.

PROBABLE CAUSES

  • Damaged wiring harness and connectors
  • External noise interference
  • Malfunction of wheel speed sensor
  • ASC-ECU malfunction
  • Excessive gap between the wheel speed sensor and the magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection
  • Adhesion of foreign materials on the wheel speed sensor
  • Adhesion of foreign materials on the magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection
  • Wheel bearing malfunction

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 .

Check the encoder for adhesion of foreign materials or deformation.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 10
