General Description

The wheel speed sensor is the essential component the ABS ECU uses to calculate vehicle speed and to determine whether wheel lock occurs.
For example, rear wheel speed signal is used as a reference value, for vehicle speed, in front wheel drive vehicles, and if a difference between front and rear wheel speed occurs, then ABS control is performed.
Wheel speed sensor is active hall-sensor type and good at temperature and noise characteristic. Digital wave is produced as tone wheel rotate according as hall sensor principle.
Frequency of duty wave is changed in proportion to rotation of tone wheel and HECU calculate vehicle speed by this frequency.

DTC Description

The ABS ECU monitors the wheel speed sensor signal continuously. This code is set when there is no wheel speed signals within 10 ms to 20 ms at a vehicle speed > 43.2 km/h or a deviation between sensors exceed the threshold or one or two wheels are at 2.75 km/h while the vehicle speed is at 12 km/h. Warning lamp is turned OFF unless fault is detected any more when the IG KEY is turned ON again, and wheel speed is more than 12 Km/h.
