CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the ap-
propriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used for control
of the ABS control 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

C0200/31

C0205/32

Detection of any of conditions from 1. to 3.:

1. With vehicle speed at 10 km/h or more, sensor signal

circuit of faulty wheel is open or short for 15 sec. or 

 longer.

2. Momentary interruption of sensor signal of faulty wheel

has occurred 7 times or more.

3. Sensor signal circuit is open for 0.5 sec. or longer.

Continuous noise occurs in to the speed sensor 
signals with the vehicle speed at 20 km/h (12 mph) 
or more continues for 5 sec or more.

HINT:
DTC No. C0200/31, C1235/35 is for the right front speed sensor.
DTC No. C0205/32, C1236/36 is for the left front speed sensor.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Start the inspection from step 1 in case of using the hand-held tester and start from step 2 in case of not
using hand-held tester.

1

READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER(SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT VALUE)

(a)

Select the item ”WHEEL SPEED FL (FR)” in the DATA LIST and read its value displayed on the hand-
held tester.

(b)

Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed
on the hand-held tester and the speed value displayed on the speedometer when driving the vehicle.
OK:
There is almost no difference from the displayed speed value.

HINT:
There is tolerance of 

±

 10 % in the speedometer indication.

OK
