Speed Sensor Signal Check
NOTE:
During wheel speed sensor diagnosis, ABS functions like a standard brake system.
- Ensure battery is fully charged. Turn ignition on. Verify ABS warning light illuminates, then turns off after 3 seconds. If ABS warning light does not illuminate, check fuse, bulb, and wiring harness. See ABS WARNING LIGHT under CIRCUIT TESTS.
- Turn ignition off. Connect a jumper wire between DLC1 terminals Ts and E1 . See Figure. Start engine. ABS warning light should flash 4 times per second.
- Drive vehicle at speeds greater than 28 MPH for several seconds. Stop vehicle. Connect a jumper wire between DLC1 terminals Tc and E1 .
- If a DTC is stored, ABS warning light will begin to flash a 2-digit DTC. First group of flashes indicate first digit in DTC. After a 1.5-second pause, second group of flashes indicate second digit in a DTC.
- If 2 or more DTCs are stored, there will be a 2.5-second pause between each DTC. After all DTCs are flashed, there will be a 4-second pause, then all DTCs will repeat.
- Record DTCs. Turn ignition off. Repair as necessary. See DTC DEFINITIONS . See DTC 31, 32, 33 & 34: SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS for speed sensor diagnostic procedures. Clear DTCs. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .
