STEP 9. Check for wheel bearing looseness
NOTE: 

.

•

Loose wheel bearing may increase the gap between the 
wheel speed sensor <FL> and the wheel speed detection 
magnet encoder.

•

Check the wheel bearing <FL> for looseness (Refer to 
GROUP 26 

−

 Wheel Bearing Play Check 

P.26-11

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO :  Replace the wheel bearing <FL> (Refer to GROUP 26 

− Front Axle Hub Assembly 

P.26-13

). Then go to Step 

13.

STEP 10. Check wheel speed detection encoder
Check the encoder for adhesion of foreign materials or defor-
mation.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 11.
NO (Adhesion of foreign materials) : Remove the foreign 

materials and clean the encoder so as not to disturb 
the magnetization pattern on it while taking care of the 
magnet, magnetic substance, and magnetic 
attraction. Then go to Step 13.

NO (Deformation) : Replace the wheel bearing <FL> 

(Refer to GROUP 26 

− Front Axle Hub Assembly 

P.26-13

). Then go to Step 13.

STEP 11. Check whether the DTC is reset.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Drive the vehicle at 12mph (20 km/h) or higher.

NOTE: The ABS warning light does not turn OFF in some 
cases unless the vehicle runs at 12mph (20 km/h) or higher.

Q: Is DTC C1046 set?

YES : Replace the wheel speed sensor <FL> (Refer to 

P.35B-189

). Then go to Step 12.

NO :  Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 

− How 

to Use Troubleshooting/How to Cope with Intermittent 
Malfunctions 

P.00-15

).

STEP 12. Check whether the DTC is reset.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Drive the vehicle at 12mph (20 km/h) or higher.

NOTE: The ABS warning light does not turn OFF in some 
cases unless the vehicle runs at 12mph (20 km/h) or higher.

Q: Is DTC C1046 set?

YES : Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with ABS-ECU) 

(Refer to 

P.35B-188

). Then go to Step 13.

NO :  The procedure is complete.

STEP 13. Check whether the DTC is reset.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Drive the vehicle at 12mph (20 km/h) or higher.

NOTE: The ABS warning light does not turn OFF in some 
cases unless the vehicle runs at 12mph (20 km/h) or higher.

Q: Is DTC C1046 set?

YES : Return to Step 1.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

CAUTION

If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect 
DTC may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN 
bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C 

− CAN Bus Line Diagnostic 

Flow 

P.54C-10

).

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The wheel speed sensor is a type of pulse generator. It con-

sists of encoders (a plate on which north and south pole 
sides of the magnets are arranged alternately) for detecting 
the wheel speed which rotates at the same speed of the 
wheels and wheel speed sensors. This sensor outputs fre-
quency pulse signals in proportion to the wheel speed.

• The pulse signals, which the wheel speed sensor creates, 

are sent to ABS-ECU. ABS-ECU uses the frequency of the 
pulse signals to determine the wheel speed.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if any malfunction below is found:

• When the brake fluid pressure is decreased for a long time.

• When the brake fluid pressure is held for a long time.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged wiring harness and connectors

• External noise interference

• Malfunction of wheel speed sensor

• ABS-ECU malfunction

• Excessive gap between the wheel speed sensor and the 

wheel speed detection encoder

• Adhesion of foreign materials on the wheel speed sensor

• Adhesion of foreign materials on the wheel speed detection 

encoder

• Wheel bearing malfunction

• Improper installation of the wheel speed sensor

• Deformation of the wheel speed detection encoder

• Disturbance of magnetization pattern for wheel speed 

detection encoder

• Missing teeth of the wheel speed detection encoder

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A
