ABS/TCS

Wheel Sensor or Rotor

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
With CONSULT-II: Malfunction code No. C1101, C1102, C1103, C1104, C1105, C1106, C1107, C1108 or C1115
Without CONSULT-II: Malfunction code No. 21, 22, 25, 26, 31, 32, 35, 36 or 18

NOTE: Wheel position should be identified by code No. except code No. 18 (sensor rotor).

1. CONNECTOR INSPECTION
1. Disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E125 and wheel sensor of malfunction code. Check the terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness or damage.
OK or NG
OK >>GO TO 2.
NG >> Repair or replace as necessary.

2. CHECK WHEEL SENSOR OUTPUT SIGNAL
1. Disconnect connector from wheel sensor of malfunction code No.
2. Connect ABS active wheel sensor tester (J-45741) to wheel sensor using appropriate adapter.
3. Turn on the ABS active wheel sensor tester power switch.

NOTE: The green POWER indicator should illuminate. If the POWER indicator does not illuminate, replace the battery in the ABS active wheel sensor tester before proceeding.

4. Spin the wheel of the vehicle by hand and observe the red SENSOR indicator on the ABS active wheel sensor tester. The red SENSOR indicator should flash on and off to indicate an output signal.

NOTE: If the red SENSOR indicator illuminates but does not flash, reverse the polarity of the tester leads and retest.

Does the ABS active wheel sensor tester detect a signal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 6.

3. CHECK TIRE
Check for inflation pressure, wear and size of each tire.
Are tire pressure and size correct and is tire wear within specifications?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Adjust tire pressure or replace tire(s).

4. CHECK WHEEL BEARINGS
Check wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to "FRONT WHEEL BEARING" or "Rear Wheel Bearing".
Is axial end play within specifications?
YES >> If diagnosing a front wheel sensor, GO TO 5. If diagnosing a rear wheel sensor, GO TO 6.
NO >> Repair as necessary. Refer to "FRONT WHEEL BEARING" or "Rear Wheel Bearing". Then retest.

5. CHECK SENSOR ROTOR
Check sensor rotor for tooth damage.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 6.
NG >> Replace sensor rotor. Refer to "Removal and Installation".

6. CHECK WIRING HARNESS FOR SHORT CIRCUIT





1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E125 and wheel sensor connector of malfunction code No.
2. Check resistance between wheel sensor harness connector terminals and ground.
Continuity should not exist.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 7.
NG >> Repair the circuit.

7. CHECK WIRING HARNESS FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E125 and wheel sensor connector of malfunction code No.





2. Check continuity between both wiring harness ends.

Continuity should exist.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Refer to "Removal and Installation".
NG >> Repair the circuit.
