DTC C1200: Wheel Speed Sensor Front-LH Open/Short: DTC Detecting Condition

DTC DETECTING CONDITION CHART

Item Detecting Condition Possible cause
DTC Strategy
  • Voltage monitoring
  • Open or short of Wheel speed sensor circuit
  • Inoperative Wheel speed sensor
  • Inoperative HECU
Case 1 Monitoring Period
  • Once after power up.
Enable Conditions
  • Shorts between WSS lines and shorts to UZ can be detected by switching single WSS channels in sequence. If there is an error after end of test, a failure is recognized.
In case of a WSS power line short to V_batt, this FSA test will detect an under voltage failure. (ABS only)* FSA test: fail save circuit test* UZ: Ignition Voltage
Case 2 Monitoring Period
  • Continuous
Enable Conditions
  • When the sensor current levels are out of permissible range (LOW: 7 mA, HIGH: 14 mA) for 200 ms.
Fail Safe
  • Sensor failure outside of the ABS control cycle
    1. Only one wheel failure: Only the ABS/ESC functions are inhibited. The ABS/ESC warning lamps are activated and the EBD warning lamp is not activated.
    2. Two wheels failure: Only the ABS/ESC functions are inhibited. The ABS/ESC warning lamps are activated and the EBD warning lamp is not activated.
    3. More than 3 wheels failure: System down. The ABS/EBD/ESC functions are inhibited. The ABS/EBD/ESC warning lamps are activated.
  • Sensor failure inside the ABS control cycle
    1. One front wheel failure: Inhibit the ABS/ESC control. Pressure is increased on a front wheel, Pressure is decreased on a rear wheel. After the ABS/ESC control, the ABS/ESC functions are inhibited. The ABS/ESC warning lamps are activated and the EBD warning lamp is not activated.
    2. Two wheels failure: Inhibit the ABS/ESC control. Pressure is increased on a front wheel, Pressure is decreased on a rear wheel. After the ABS/ESC control, the ABS/ESC functions are inhibited. The ABS/ESC warning lamps are activated and the EBD warning lamp is not activated.
    3. More than 3 wheels failure: System down. The ABS/EBD/ESC functions are inhibited. The ABS/EBD/ESC warning lamps are activated.
