1. CHECK FOR DTC C1020-LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT

NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
3. Cycle the ignition switch from off to on.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

NOTE: The Anti-Lock Brake Module must sense ALL 4 wheels at 12 km/h (7.5 mph) before it will extinguish the ABS indicators.

Does the scan tool display: C1020-LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT?

Yes
- Go To 2

No
- Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure.

2. CHECK CONNECTOR/TERMINAL FOR DAMAGE

NOTE: Check all terminals for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Inspect the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector, Left Rear WSS, and Left Rear WSS harness connector.

Is the Left Rear WSS or any of the connectors/terminals damaged?

Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

No
- Go To 3

3. CHECK LEFT REAR WSS AIR GAP

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Using a feeler gauge, measure the Left Rear WSS air gap.

NOTE: Refer to the appropriate service information, if necessary, for procedures or specifications.

Is the Left Rear WSS air gap within specifications?

Yes
- Go To 4

No
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

4. CHECK (B4) LEFT REAR WSS SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND






1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Left Rear WSS harness connector.

6. CHECK (B4) LEFT REAR WSS SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN






1. Connect a jumper wire between ground and the (B4) Left Rear WSS Supply circuit in the Anti-Lock Brakes Module harness connector.
2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe the (B4) Left Rear WSS Supply circuit.

Does the test light illuminate brightly

Yes
- Go To 7

No
- Repair the (B4) Left Rear WSS Supply circuit for an open.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

7. CHECK (B3) LEFT REAR WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN






1. Connect a jumper wire between ground and the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit in the Anti-Lock Brakes Module harness connector.
2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes
- Go To 8

No
- Repair the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit for an open.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

8. CHECK (B4) LEFT REAR WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE






1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Remove all jumper wires.
3. Measure the voltage between the (B4) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit and ground.

Is the voltage above one volt?

Yes
- Repair the (B4) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

No
- Go To 9

9. CHECK (B3) LEFT REAR WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE






1. Measure the voltage between the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit and ground.

Is the voltage above one volt?

Yes
- Repair the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

No
- Go To 10

10. CHECK (B3) LEFT REAR WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND (B4) LEFT REAR WSS SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORT TOGETHER






1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Measure the resistance between the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit and the (B4) Left Rear WSS Supply circuit.

Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?

Yes
- Go To 11

No
