Ω

)

Terminals 1 and 2

Open

CHECK:
(a)

Apply battery positive voltage between terminals 3 and 4.

(b)

Check continuity between terminals of ABS motor relay.

OK:

Terminals 1 and 2

Continuity

NG

Replace ABS motor relay.

OK

4

Check for open and short in harness and connector between ABS motor relay
and ABS ECU (See page

21, 22, 23, 24

ABS Actuator Solenoid Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

This solenoid goes on when signals are received from the ECU and controls the pressure acting on the wheel
cylinders thus controlling the braking force.

DTC No.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1

Check ABS actuator solenoid.

PREPARATION:
Disconnect the 2 connectors from ABS actuator.
CHECK:
Check continuity between terminals A6 – 4 and A5 – 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8 of ABS actuator connector.
OK:

Continuity

HINT:Resistance of each solenoid coil is 1.2

 Ω

.

NG

Replace ABS actuator.

OK

2

Check for open and short in harness and connector between ABS ECU and 
actuator (See page 

IN–27

).

NG

Repair or replace harness or connector.

OK

If the same code is still output after the DTC is deleted, check the contact condition of each con-
nection. 
If the connections are normal, the ECU may be defective.

DTC

31, 32, 33, 34

Speed Sensor Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the ap-
propriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used to control
of the ABS system. The front and rear rotors each have 48
serrations.
When the rotors rotate, the magnetic field emitted by the perma-
nent magnet in the speed sensor generates an AC voltage.
Since the frequency of this AC voltage changes in direct propor-
tion to the speed of the rotor, the frequency is used by the ECU
to detect the speed of each wheel.

 

DTC No.

DTC Detecting Condition

Trouble Area

31, 32, 33, 34

Detection of any of conditions from (1) through (4):

(1) Vehicle speed is at 10 km/h (6 mph) or more and the

    speed sensor signal circuit is open or short circuit 

     continues for 15 sec. or more.

(2) Momentary interruption of the speed sensor signal

    occurs 7 times or more.

(3) Vehicle speed is at 20 km/h (12mph) or more and 

      interference on the speed sensor signal continues for 

     5 sec. or more.

(4) Open circuit condition of the speed sensor signal circuit

    continues for 0.5 sec. or more.

Right front, left front, right rear, left rear speed sensor

Speed sensor rotor

HINT:
DTC No. 31 is for the right front speed sensor.
DTC No. 32 is for the left front speed sensor.
DTC No. 33 is for the right rear speed sensor.
DTC No. 34 is for the left rear speed sensor.
Fail safe function: If trouble occurs in the speed sensor circuit, the ECU cuts off current to the ABS solenoid
                             relay and prohibits ABS control.
