Circuit/System Testing

IMPORTANT: It is recommend that Component Testing is performed before Circuit Testing when diagnosing wheel speed sensors.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
  2. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the low reference circuit terminal of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
    • LF Sensor circuit terminal A2
    • RF Sensor circuit terminal A4
    • LR Sensor circuit terminal A6
    • RR Sensor circuit terminal A8
    • If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
  3. Test for less than 1 volt between the signal circuit terminal of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
    • LF Sensor circuit terminal A1
    • RF Sensor circuit terminal A3
    • LR Sensor circuit terminal A5
    • RR Sensor circuit terminal A7
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
  4. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the low reference terminal of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
    • LF Sensor circuit terminal A2
    • RF Sensor circuit terminal A4
    • LR Sensor circuit terminal A6
    • RR Sensor circuit terminal A8
    • If less than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
  5. Test for infinite resistance between the following signal circuit terminal of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
    • LF Sensor circuit terminal A1
    • RF Sensor circuit terminal A3
    • LR Sensor circuit terminal A5
    • RR Sensor circuit terminal A7
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
  6. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate wheel speed sensor.
  7. Ignition OFF, test for less than 2 ohms between the appropriate low reference circuit terminals listed below.
    • LF Sensor circuit terminal A2 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal B at the WSS harness connector.
    • RF Sensor circuit terminal A4 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal B at the WSS harness connector.
    • LR Sensor circuit terminal A6 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal B at the WSS harness connector.
    • RR Sensor circuit terminal A8 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal B at the WSS harness connector.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open or high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
  8. Test for less than 2 ohms between the appropriate signal circuit terminals listed below.
    • LF Sensor circuit terminal A1 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal A at the WSS harness connector.
    • RF Sensor circuit terminal A3 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal A at the WSS harness connector.
    • LR Sensor circuit terminal A5 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal A at the WSS harness connector.
    • RR Sensor circuit terminal A7 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal A at the WSS harness connector.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open or high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
  9. If all circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.
