ABS-224

I. ABS-223, ABS-224 Hjulsensorsignal

ABS-223 Wheel sensor signal LH rear wheel, ABS control phase too long
ABS-224 Wheel sensor signal RH rear wheel, ABS control phase too long

IA. DTC information

Condition

When the control module via the wheel sensor registers that the wheel stops or rotates too slowly in relation to the vehicle reference speed when driving or ABS regulation when the speed is above 20 km/h (12.5 mph), the control module activates the inlet and outlet valves so that the wheel increases in speed. If the wheel speed has not increased after 28 seconds and the wheel sensor circuit is unbroken, DTC ABS-223 or ABS-224 depending on the wheel sensor will be posted.

Substitute value

- ABS/TRACS-systems are blocked.
- EBD-system is available.

Possible source

- Loose wheel sensor.
- Defective wheel sensor.
- Defective pulse wheel.
- Wheel locked when driving.
- Defective hydraulic modulator

Fault symptom(s)

- There is a risk of the wheels locking when braking if the ABS system is blocked.
- In vehicles with TRACS, the anti-wheelslip system cuts out.

Caution! If the fault is intermittent, the ABS warning light will go out first when the speed goes above 20 km/h (12.5 mph) in the next driving cycle.
