TROUBLESHOOTING

ANTI-SKID BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

35B-28

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, 

an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior 
to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines 
(Refer to GROUP 54C 

− CAN Bus Diagnostics 

Table .).

• Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the 

communication circuit is normal.

OPERATION

• A toothed ABS rotor generates a pulse signal as 

it moves across the pickup field of each wheel 
speed sensor.

• The wheel speed sensors transmit the frequency 

of the pulses to the ABS-ECU.

• The hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with 

ABS-ECU) modulates the amount of braking 
force individually applied to each wheel cylinder.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITION
Diagnosis codes No.C1202, C1207, C1212 or C1217 
is set when the supply voltage to each wheel speed 
sensor has decreased.

PROBABLE CAUSES

Current trouble

• Damaged wiring harness and connectors

• Noise interference

• Wheel speed sensor malfunction

• ABS-ECU malfunction

Past trouble

• Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on 

wiring harness and connector failures between 
ABS-ECU and the wheel speed sensor. For diag-
nosis procedures, refer to How to treat past trou-
ble (GROUP 00 

− How to Cope with Intermittent 

Malfunctions .).

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnosis
Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 
54C 

− CAN Bus Diagnostics Table .). On 

completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting 
CAN bus lines
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Drive the vehicle at 15 km/h or more.

NOTE: The ABS warning lamp does not turn OFF 
in some cases unless the vehicle runs at 15 km/h 
or higher.

Q: Are diagnosis codes No.C1202, C1207, C1212 or 

C1217 set?
YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III data list
Check the following data list (Refer to 

P.35B-54

.).

• Item No.01: FL wheel speed sensor

• Item No.02: FR wheel speed sensor

• Item No.03: RL wheel speed sensor

• Item No.04: RR wheel speed sensor

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 8.

NO : 

Go to Step 4.
