C1032 - Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Erratic Performance

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.

When Monitored: With the ignition ON.

Set Condition: When the right rear wheel speed sensor signal is intermittently missing while vehicle speed is more than 40 km/h (25 m.p.h.) or erratic wheel speed signal during acceleration or sensed wheel speed is different from other wheels.






Test Step 1 - Test for DTC C1032 - Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Erratic Performance

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

Turn the ignition ON.

With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.


Ensure brake capability is available before road testing.

Road test the vehicle over 40 km/h (25 m.p.h.).

Vehicle must be driven more than 40 km/h (25 m.p.h.) for set conditions to be met.

With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Does the scan tool display C1032 - Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Erratic Performance active?

Yes

Go to Test Step 3 => [ Test Step 3 - Test for Improper Right Rear Tire Pressure/Mismatched
Tires ]

No

Go to Test Step 2 => [ Test Step 2 - Test Wheel Speed Sensor Signals ]

Test Step 2 - Test Wheel Speed Sensor Signals

Turn the ignition ON.

With the scan tool, monitor and graph ALL the WSS speeds and compare graph while an assistant drives the vehicle.

If graph shows periodic dropouts pay close attention to the tone wheel.

Slowly accelerate as straight as possible from a stop to 40 km/h (25 m.p.h.).

Is the right rear WSS speed showing 0 km/h (0 m.p.h.) or not matching other wheels or showing erratic behavior?

Yes

Go to Test Step 3 => [ Test Step 3 - Test for Improper Right Rear Tire Pressure/Mismatched
Tires ]

No

Perform the Intermittent Condition diagnostic procedure. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics.

Test Step 3 - Test for Improper Right Rear Tire Pressure/Mismatched Tires

Turn the ignition OFF.

Test and adjust the right rear tire pressure.

Test and adjust all other tire pressures.

Inspect for mismatched tires on vehicle.

Is the Right Rear Tire improperly inflated or mismatched tires on vehicle?

Yes

Repair as necessary.

Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC
Based Diagnostics. ABS Verification Test

No

Go to Test Step 4 => [ Test Step 4 - Test Axle Shaft Fastener Hardware for Looseness ]

Test Step 4 - Test Axle Shaft Fastener Hardware for Looseness

Inspect the axle shaft fastener for looseness, and not properly fastened. Tighten fastener to proper specification as required.

Was the Axle Shaft fastener loose?

Yes

Repair as necessary.

No

Go to Test Step 5 => [ Test Step 5 - Test Right Rear WSS Looseness, Inspect Circuits/Terminals
for Damage ]

Test Step 5 - Test Right Rear WSS Looseness, Inspect Circuits/Terminals for Damage

Test all terminals for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.

Inspect the anti lock brake module harness connector, right rear WSS, and right rear WSS harness connector.

Inspect the right rear WSS for looseness, excessive corrosion and not properly fastened.

Inspect the right rear WSS signal and right rear WSS supply circuits between the right rear WSS and anti lock brake module for damage.

Is the Right Rear WSS loose or any of the wiring/connectors/terminals damaged?

Yes

Repair as necessary.

Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC
Based Diagnostics. ABS Verification Test

No

Go to Test Step 6 => [ Test Step 6 - Test Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor for Damage ]

Test Step 6 - Test Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor for Damage

Remove the right rear wheel speed sensor.

Inspect the right rear wheel speed sensor face for damage.

Is the Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor damaged?

Yes

Replace sensor and hub assembly.

Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC
Based Diagnostics. ABS Verification Test

No

Go to Test Step 7 => [ Test Step 7 - Test Right Rear Tone Wheel for Damage ]

Test Step 7 - Test Right Rear Tone Wheel for Damage

Inspect the right rear tone wheel for damage, missing teeth, cracks, corrosion or looseness.

The Tone Wheel teeth should be perfectly square, not bent, or nicked.

Is the right rear tone wheel damaged?

Yes

Repair as necessary.

Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC
Based Diagnostics. ABS Verification Test

No

Go to Test Step 8 => [ Test Step 8 - Test Right Rear Wheel Bearing for Damage ]

Test Step 8 - Test Right Rear Wheel Bearing for Damage

Inspect the right rear wheel bearing for excessive runout or clearance.

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

Is the right rear wheel bearing damaged?

Yes

Repair as necessary.

Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC
Based Diagnostics. ABS Verification Test

No

Go to Test Step 9 => [ Test Step 9 - Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor ]

Test Step 9 - Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor

Replace the right rear wheel speed sensor.

Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC
Based Diagnostics. ABS Verification Test

Road test the vehicle over 40 km/h (25 m.p.h.).

Vehicle must be driven more than 40 km/h (25 m.p.h.) for set conditions to be met.

With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs.

Did DTC C1032 - Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Erratic Performance reset?

Yes

Replace the anti lock brakes module.

Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC
Based Diagnostics. ABS Verification Test

No

Test Complete.
