GA. DTC information
Substitute value
If the control module registers that there is no wheel sensor signal when driving is started from a speed under 6 km/h (4 mph) or if the slowest wheel rotates more than 40-60% (depending on the speed of the vehicle) of the fastest wheel but the wheel sensor circuit is still unbroken, DTC ABS-213 or ABS-214 depending on the wheel sensor, will be activated.
Substitute value
- The ABS/TRACS-system is blocked.
- The EBD-system is available.
Possible source
- Loose wheel sensor.
- Defective wheel sensor.
- Defective pulse wheel.
- A wheel is locked when driving.
- Contact resistance in the connections.
Fault symptom(s)
- When the ABS system is blocked,there is a risk of the wheels locking when braking
- The anti-spin system will not work on vehicles equipped with TRACS.
Caution! If the fault becomes intermittent, the ABS warning light will only go out once the speed exceeds 20 km/h (12.5 mph) in the next driving cycle.
Fault tracing begins with GB. Other DTCs, status, notifications and status checks.
