VOLTAGE AND SIGNAL CHECK AT ABS-ECU 
(A-02) USING OSCILLOSCOPE

NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel speed 
sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is an open/ 
short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut off power sup-
ply to the respective wheel speed sensor. All other 
wheel speed sensors will operate normally. To 
restore the power supply, the ignition switch must be 
turned to the "OFF" position then to the "ON" position 
again.

.

WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AIR GAP:

• Sensor air gap:   (0.2mm - 0.85mm).

.

Measure supply voltage for wheel speed sensor using an 
oscilloscope.
(1) ABS-ECU must remain connected.
(2) Wheel speed sensors must emain connected
(3) Remove ABS connector protection cap to access terminal 

location from the rear of connector for back-probing.

(4) Using probe (MB991222) , backprobe  the wheel speed 

sensor voltage supply circuit terminals (16, 9, 6 and 8) at 
the ABS-ECU connector (A-02) individually.

(5) Connect oscilloscope (as per figure 1) shows, to the 

appropriate terminal positions and check supply voltage 
individually with scope.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)

13C-42

• Connect oscilloscope to FL sensor signal terminal (16) 

at ABS-ECU (A-02)

• Connect oscilloscope to FR sensor signal terminal (9) at 

ABS-ECU (A-02)

• Connect oscilloscope to RL sensor signal terminal (6) at 

ABS-ECU (A-02)

• Connect oscilloscope to RR sensor signal terminal (8) at 

ABS-ECU (A-02)

(6) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(7) The recommended Supply Voltage at terminals 16, 9, 6, 

and 8 are:

•  Set value:  10.0Volts - 14.5Volts

Q: Is the supply voltage within the set value?

YES : Check wheel speed sensor signal at ABS-ECU using 

an oscillopscope

NO : 

• Refer to Power supply system

P.35B-63

• Refer to Motor supply system

P.35B-48

• Refer to Valve relay system

P.35B-56

Measure wheel speed sensor signals using an 
oscilloscope.

NOTE: To check connections of the wheel speed sensors, 
remove the rear seat to access the rear wheel speed sen-
sor connectors, and remove inner front guard (splash 
shield) to access the front wheel speed sensors.

(1) Wheel speed sensor must remain connected to measure 

active sensor.

(2) ABS-ECU must remain connected.
(3) Remove ABS connector protection cap to access terminal 

location from the rear of connector for back-probing.

(4) Using probe (MB991222), backprobe  the wheel speed 

sensor signal circuit terminals (5, 10, 17, 19), and check 
individually at the ABS-ECU connector A-02

(5) The wheel to be tested must be free to turn by hand or be 

driven by brake dynamometer

(6) Connect oscilloscope (as per figure 2) shows, to the 

appropriate terminal positions and check sensor operation 
individually with scope.
