STEP 9. Check for wheel bearing looseness
NOTE: 

.

•

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

•

Check the wheel bearing <RR> for looseness (Refer to 
GROUP 27A 

−

 On-vehicle Service 

P.27A-6

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO :  Replace the rear wheel hub assembly (Refer to 

GROUP 27A 

− Rear Axle Hub Assembly 

P.27A-8

). 

Then go to Step 13.

STEP 10. Check of 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 rear wheel hub assembly 

<RR> (Refer to GROUP 27A 

− Rear Axle Hub 

Assembly 

P.27A-8

). 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 C1049 set?

YES : Replace the wheel speed sensor <RR> (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 C1049 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.

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

• ABS-ECU contains the power supply circuit (terminal 

No.26) for the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is ener-
gized by the valve relay, which is incorporated in ABS-ECU.

• The valve relay, which is incorporated in ABS-ECU, is 

always energizing the solenoid valve unless the initial check 
is in progress when the ignition switch is turned on, and the 
recurrent system check is in progress.

• ABS-ECU activates the solenoid valve by turning on its driv-

ing transistor.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

These DTCs will be set under the conditions below:

• The solenoid valve is not energized even after ABS-ECU 

has turned on the driving transistor (Open circuit is present 
in the power supply circuit to the ABS-ECU solenoid valve, 
or the valve relay has failed).

• The solenoid valve is not activated even after ABS-ECU 

has turned on the driving transistor (Open circuit is present 
in the solenoid valve circuit in ABS-ECU, or the valve relay 
has failed).

• After ABS-ECU has turned off the valve relay, the solenoid 

valve still remains energized (short in the solenoid valve cir-
cuit).

• When a solenoid valve failure is detected
