PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE

If a normal code is displayed during the DTC check but the problem still occurs, check the circuits for each
problem symptom in the order given in the table below and proceed to the relevant troubleshooting page.
NOTICE:
When replacing skid control ECU, sensor or etc., turn the ignition switch OFF.

CIRCUIT INSPECTION

DTC

C0200 / 31 – C1239 / 39

Speed Sensor Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

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

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

1. At vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, pulses

are not input for 15 sec. (When RL and RR wheels are

faulty for 200 sec.)

2. Momentary interruption of the speed sensor signal

occurs at least 7 times in the time between switching

the ignition switch ON and switching it OFF.

3. The speed sensor signal circuit is open circuit

continues for 0.5 sec. or more.
