ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

ABS SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE 
MEASUREMENT

M1352001600485

Lift up the vehicle and release the parking brake.

1. Disconnect the ABS-ECU connector, and 

measure the output voltage at the harness side 
connector.

2. Manually turn the wheel to be measured 1/2 to 1 

turn/second. Measure the output voltage with a 
voltmeter or oscilloscope.

Terminal No.

Output voltage:
42 mV or higher when measured using a 
multimeter
120 mVP-P or higher when measured using a 
oscilloscope

3. If the output voltage is lower than that given 

above, the cause may be the following, so check 
or replace the ABS sensor if necessary.

ABS sensor pole piece-to-ABS rotor clearance 
too large

Faulty ABS sensor

WAVE PATTERN INSPECTION USING AN 
OSCILLOSCOPE
After checking the connection of the ABS sensor 
harness and the connector, take a reading of the 
output voltage wave patterns for each ABS sensor 
using an oscilloscope as follows.
Start the engine, the transmission shift lever to 1st 
gear, and then spin the wheel.
NOTE: 

.

You can also take a reading of the wave pattern 
by actually driving the vehicle in this condition.

The output voltage will be lower when the wheel 
speed is lower, and will become higher as the 
wheel speed becomes higher.

POINTS IN WAVEFORM MEASUREMENT

NOTE: The ABS sensor cable moves in relation to motion of the front or rear suspension. Therefore, it is 
likely that it has an open circuit only when driving on rough roads but it functions normally when driving on 
smooth roads. It is recommended to observe sensor output voltage waveform also under special conditions, 
such as driving on a rough road.

Symptom

Probable causes

Remedy

Too small or zero waveform 
amplitude

Faulty ABS sensor or excessive 
gap between it and the ABS rotor

Replace ABS sensor

Waveform amplitude fluctuates 
excessively (This is no problem if 
the minimum amplitude is 100 mV 
or more)

Axle hub eccentric or with large 
runout

Replace hub assembly

Faulty ABS-ECU earth

Repair harness wires

Noisy or disturbed waveform

Open circuit in ABS sensor

Replace ABS sensor

Open circuit in harness

Repair harness wire

Incorrectly mounted ABS sensor

Mount ABS sensor correctly

ABS rotor with missing or 
damaged teeth

Replace ABS rotor

CAUTION

The roller of the braking force tester and the 
tyre should be dry during testing.

When testing the front brakes, apply the 
parking brake. When testing the rear brakes, 
stop the front wheels with chocks.

1. Jack up the vehicle. Then support the vehicle with 

rigid racks at the specified jack-up points or place 
the front or rear wheels on the rollers of the 
braking force tester.

2. Release the parking brake, and feel the drag force 

(drag torque) on each road wheel. When using 
the braking force tester, take a reading of the 
brake drag force.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to MUT-II/III, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOOK" (OFF) position 
before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II/III.

3.  Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position and set the MUT-II/III as shown in the 
illustration.

4. After checking that the shift lever is in neutral, 

start the engine.

5. Use the MUT-II/III to force-drive the actuator.

NOTE: The ABS system will switch to the 
MUT-II/III mode and the ABS warning lamp will 
illuminate.
NOTE: When the ABS has been interrupted by 
the fail-safe function, the MUT-II/III actuator 
testing cannot be used.

6. Turn the wheel by hand and check the change in 

braking force when the brake pedal is depressed. 
When using the braking force tester, depress the 
brake pedal until the braking force is at the 
following values, and check that the braking force 
changes to the brake drag force inspected in step 
2 when the actuator is force-driven. The result 
should be as shown in the diagram above.

7. If the result of inspection is abnormal, repair 

according to the Diagnosis Table below.

8. After inspection, disconnect the MUT-II/III 

immediately after turning the ignition switch to the 
"LOCK" (OFF) position.
