Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK OUTPUT OF ABS SENSOR USING 
SELECT MONITOR.
1) Select “Current data display & Save” on the 

select monitor.

2) Read the ABS sensor output corresponding 

to the faulty system in the select monitor 
data display mode.
Does the speed indicated on the display 
change in response to the speedometer 
reading during acceleration/deceleration 
when the steering wheel is in the straight-
ahead position?

Change as same.

Go to step 2.

Go to step 8.

2

CHECK INSTALLATION OF ABS SENSOR.
Are the ABS sensor installation bolts tightened 
with the specified torque?

33

±

10 N·m (3.4

±

1.0 kgf-m, 

25

±

7 ft-lb)

Go to step 3.

Tighten ABS sen-
sor installation 
bolts securely.

3

CHECK ABS SENSOR GAP.
Measure tone wheel to ABS sensor piece gap 
over entire perimeter of the wheel.
Is the measured value within the specified 
range?

Front wheel 0.3 — 0.8 mm 
(0.012 — 0.031 in) and Rear 
wheel 0.44 — 0.94 mm 
(0.0173 — 0.0370 in)

Go to step 4.

Adjust the gap.

NOTE:
Adjust the gap us-
ing spacers (Part
No. 26755AA000).
If spacers cannot
correct the gap, re-
place worn sensor
or worn tone
wheel.

4

CHECK TONE WHEEL RUNOUT.
Measure tone wheel runout.
Is the measured value less than the specified 
value?

0.05 mm (0.0020 in)

Go to step 5.

Replace tone 
wheel. Front:  
<Ref. to ABS-19, 
Front Tone 
Wheel.> Rear:  
<Ref. to ABS-20, 
Rear Tone 
Wheel.> 

5

CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTORS.
Turn ignition switch to OFF.
Is there poor contact in connectors between 
ABSCM&H/U and ABS sensor?

There is no poor contact.

Go to step 6.

Repair connector.

6

CHECK ABSCM&H/U.
1) Connect all connectors.
2) Erase the memory.
3) Perform inspection mode.
4) Read out the DTC.

Is the same DTC still being output?

Same DTC is not indicated.

Go to step 7.

Replace 
ABSCM&H/U.  
<Ref. to ABS-6, 
ABS Control Mod-
ule and Hydraulic 
Control Unit 
(ABSCM&H/U).> 

7

CHECK ANY OTHER DTC APPEARANCE.
Are other DTC being output?

Other DTC is not indicated.

A temporary poor 
contact.

NOTE:
Check harness
and connectors
between AB-
SCM&H/U and
ABS sensor.

Proceed with the 
diagnosis corre-
sponding to the 
DTC.
