1. Clear the DTC using the HDS.
2. Disconnect the HDS from the 16P DLC.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then turn it ON (II) again.
4. Test-drive the vehicle, and check for brake drag by duplicating city driving at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/h). Use the brakes often.
Do the brakes drag?
YES - Repair the brake drag.
NO - Go to step 2.





5. Check the installation of the appropriate wheel sensor and the pulser or magnetic encoder for damage, debris, or excessive air gap.
Is it correct?
YES - If the DTC does not reappear, the most probable cause for the DTC is that the vehicle might have lost traction in poor weather and spun around.
NO - Reinstall or replace the wheel sensor.
