between DSC HU/CM and wheel-sped sensor, then go to 
Step 9.

No

Go to next step.

5

Yes

Go to next step.

No

Replace wheel-speed sensor, then go to Step 9.

6

INSPECT SENSOR ROTOR CLEARANCE

• Jack-up vehicle and support it with safety 

stands.

• Remove suspected wheel(s).

sensor and sensor rotor.

• Is clearance within 0.3—1.1 mm {0.012—

0.043 in}?

Yes

Go to next step.

No

Replace wheel-speed sensor(s), then go to Step 9.

7

INSPECT SENSOR ROTOR FOR DAMAGE

• Jack-up vehicle and support it with safety 

stands.

• Remove suspected wheel(s).

• Visually inspect sensor rotor for missing, 

deformed and obstructed teeth.
Number of teeth: 44

• Is sensor rotor okay?

Yes

Go to next step.

No

Replace sensor rotor, then go to Step 9.

Caution

• When attaching the tester lead to the DSC HU/CM connector the SST (49 G066 004) must be used. 

8

INSPECT DSC HU/CM OPERATION

• Perform DSC HU/CM system inspection.

• See 

P–35 DSC SYSTEM INSPECTION

• Is it okay?

Yes

Go to next step.

No

Replace DSC HU/CM, then go to next step.

9

VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED

• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected 

connectors.

• Clear DTC from memory.

(See 

P–46 Clearing DTCs Procedures

)

• Start engine and drive vehicle at 10 km/h 

{6.2 mph} or above.

• Gradually slow down vehicle and stop.

• Is same DTC present?

Yes

Replace DSC HU/CM, then go to next step.

No

Go to next step.

10

VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE

• Is there any other DTC present?

Yes

Go to applicable DTC inspection.

No

DTC

C1186, C1266 

Fail-safe relay

DETECTION 

CONDITION

• C1186: 

— Fail-safe relay in DSC HU/CM stuck OFF when ignition switch is turned ON, fail-safe relay ON is
