Speed-Sensor, Front Right: Diagnosis/Troubleshooting

DIAGNOSIS/TROUBLESHOOTING - FAULT CODE 4201

Work instruction Display OK If not OK
1 Visual inspection
  • Examine speed sensor and wire at the front right for external damage
  • Check speed sensor plug for corrosion
Step 2
  • Repair speed sensor and wire
  • Repair speed sensor plug
End
2 Check speed sensor
  • Ignition off
  • Pull plug off speed sensor
  • Measure resistance between pin 1 and pin 2 of speed sensor
1 k to 3k
 
Step 3
> 3 k or < 1 k
 
Step 9
3 Check function of speed sensor
  • Ignition off
  • Set multimeter to measure AC voltage
  • Jack vehicle up and turn front right wheel by hand
  • Measure voltage between pin 4 and pin 5 of speed sensor
Measurable AC voltage, approx. as great as for speed sensor of wheel on opposite side at same wheel speed
Step 5
No AC voltage measurable
 
Step 5
4 Mechanical functionality
  • Check speed sensor and toothed ring, front right, for soiling and damage
Step 9 Clean toothed ring and replace if necessary
 
End
5 Check speed sensor leads for short circuit to B+
  • Ignition off
  • Pull plug off PSM control unit
  • Ignition on
  • Measure voltage between pin 15 of PSM control unit plug and ground
  • Measure voltage between Pin 16 of PSM control unit plug and ground
< 0.3 V
 
Step 6
Short circuit to B+ between pin 15 or pin 16 of PMS control unit plug and pin 4 or pin 5 of speed sensor
 
Repair wiring harness
 
End
6 Check speed sensor leads for short circuit to ground
  • Ignition off
  • Measure resistance between pin 15 of PSM control unit plug and ground
  • Measure resistance between pin 16 of PSM control unit plug and ground
Step 7 Short circuit to ground between pin 15 or pin 16 of PSM control unit plug and pin 4 or pin 5 of speed sensor
 
Repair wiring harness
 
End
7 Check speed sensor leads for open circuit
  • Ignition off
  • Measure resistance between pin 15 of PSM control unit plug and pin 4 of speed sensor
  • Measure resistance between pin 16 of PSM control unit plug and pin 5 of speed sensor
0
 
Step 8
Open circuit on speed sensor leads
 
Repair wiring harness
 
End
8 Check speed sensor leads for short circuit
  • Ignition off
  • Measure resistance between pin 15 and pin 16 of PSM control unit plug
Step 10 Short circuit between speed sensor leads
 
Repair wiring harness
 
End
9
  • Replace front right speed sensor
End
10
  • Replace PSM control unit
