DTC 44

DTC 41, 42, 43, 44: Wheel Lock

1. Clear the DTC using the HDS.
2. Disconnect the HDS from the 16P DLC.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Check for brake drag; test-drive the vehicle using the brake often, lift the vehicle on the hoist, rotate each tire by hand.

Do the brakes drag?

YES-Repair the brake drag.

NO-Go to step 5.

5. Check the installation of the appropriate wheel sensor and 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 or magnetic encoder.
