C1046






C1046 - Left Front Wheel Pressure Phase Monitoring






For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.

When Monitored: During active ABS control.

Set Condition: If the anti lock brake module detects a pressure reduction phase and the following pressure hold phase is too long.






Test Step 1 - Compare Wheel Speed Sensor Signals


Ensure brake capability is available before road testing.

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

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

Does the left front WSS speed differ from the other WSS speeds by 5 m.p.h. (8 km/h) or show NO speed?

Yes

Go to Test Step 3 => [ Test Step 3 - Inspect Tone Wheel/Bearing ]

No

Go to Test Step 2 => [ Test Step 2 - Testing Inside Wheel Speed ]

Test Step 2 - Testing Inside Wheel Speed

Slowly accelerate as straight as possible from a stop to 25 m.p.h. (40 km/h) and perform a 90 degree turn while monitoring if inside wheel is slower than outside.

Was the inside wheel slower than outside?

Yes

Perform the ABS Intermittent Condition Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. ABS Intermittent Condition Test

No

Go to Test Step 3 => [ Test Step 3 - Inspect Tone Wheel/Bearing ]

Test Step 3 - Inspect Tone Wheel/Bearing

Turn the ignition OFF.

Visually inspect the tone wheel and bearing for damage.

Test the tone wheel teeth for missing teeth, cracks, and looseness. The teeth must be perfectly square, not bent, or nicked. Test the wheel bearing for worn/looseness.

Were any problems found?

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 Wheel Speed Sensor Wiring ]

Test Step 4 - Test Wheel Speed Sensor Wiring

Test the anti lock brake module and wheel speed sensors harness connectors for incorrectly wired connectors.

Were any problems found?

Yes

Repair as necessary.

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

No

Go to Test Step 5 => [ Test Step 5 - Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor ]

Test Step 5 - Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor

Replace the left front wheel speed sensor.

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


Ensure brake capability is available before road testing.

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

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

With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs.

The anti lock brake module must sense ALL 4 wheels at 7.5 m.p.h. (12 km/h) before it will extinguish the ABS indicators.

Did DTC C1046 - Left Front Wheel Pressure Phase Monitoring reset?

Yes

Replace the anti lock brake module.

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

No

Test complete.
