35C-9

OPERATION

• The wheel speed sensor is a kind of a pulse gen-

erator. It consists of magnetic encoders (a plate 
on which north and south pole sides of the mag-
nets are arranged alternately) for detecting the 
wheel speed which rotates at the same speed of 
the wheels and speed sensors. This sensor out-
puts frequency pulse signals in proportion to the 
wheel speed.

• The pulse signals, which the wheel speed sensor 

creates, are sent to ASC-ECU. ASC-ECU uses 
the frequency of the pulse signals to determine 
the wheel speed.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

ASC-ECU monitors voltage fluctuation in each wheel 
speed sensor circuit. If the ECU detects short or 
open circuit in the circuit, it will set a diagnosis code.

PROBABLE CAUSES

Current trouble

• Damaged wiring harness and connectors

• Malfunction of the wheel speed sensor

• ASC-ECU malfunction

Past trouble

• Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on 

wiring harness and connector failures between 
ASC-ECU and wheel speed sensor. For diagno-
sis procedures, refer to How to treat past trouble 
(GROUP 00 

− How to Use Troubleshoot-

ing/Inspection Service Points 

P.00-13

).

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
Use the 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 
54D 

− Troubleshooting 

P.54D-13

.) On 

completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting 
CAN bus lines

Q: Is the diagnosis code No. C1200, C1205, C1210 or 

C1215 set?
YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

This diagnosis is complete.

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

P.35B-72

.)

• (When the code No. C1200 is set) Item 01: FR 

wheel speed sensor

• (When the code No. 1205 is set) Item 02: FL 

wheel speed sensor

• (When the code No. 1210 is set) Item 03: RR 

wheel speed sensor

• (When the code No. C1215 is set) Item 04: RL 

wheel speed sensor

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 

00 

− How to Cope with Intermittent 

Malfunction 

P.00-13

.)

NO : 

Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Voltage measurement: A-05 ASC-ECU 
connector

(1) Disconnect the connector, connect the ABS 

check harness (Special tool: MB991984) to the 
harness-side connector, and measure the voltage 
at the special tool connector side.
NOTE: . Do not connect the special tool to 
ASC-ECU.

(2) Ignition switch: ON
(3) Measure the voltage between the power supply 

and signal terminals in the wheel speed sensor 
circuit and body earth.

OK: 0 V

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 5.

NO (Not normal at the terminal No. 29 or 28) : 

Go 

to Step 6.

NO (Not normal at the terminal No. 34 or 13) : 

Go 

to Step 8.

NO (Not normal at the terminal No. 30 or 8) : 

Go to 

Step 10.

NO (Not normal at the terminal No. 11 or 10) : 

Go 

to Step 12.

STEP 5. Measure the resistance at A-05 ASC-ECU 
connector.

(1) Disconnect the connector, connect the ABS 

check harness (Special tool: MB991984) to the 
harness-side connector, and measure the voltage 
at the special tool connector side.
NOTE: Do not connect the special tool to 
ASC-ECU.

(2) Measure the resistance between the power 

supply and signal terminals in the wheel speed 
sensor circuit and body earth.

OK: No continuity

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 14.

NO (Not normal at the terminal No. 29 or 28) : 

Go 

to Step 6.

NO (Not normal at the terminal No. 34 or 13) : 

Go
