DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-59

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-

rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this 
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to 
GROUP 54C 

 CAN Bus Line Diagnostic Flow 

P.54C-10

).

• Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus 

lines are normal.

• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is 

replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steer-
ing wheel sensor, the G and yaw rate sensor and brake 
fluid pressure sensor (Refer to 

P.35C-283

P.35C-282

 

and 

P.35C-284

).

.

OPERATION

• The wheel speed sensor is a kind of a pulse generator. It 

consists 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 ASC-ECU. ASC-ECU uses the frequency of the 
pulse signals to determine the wheel speed.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

ASC-ECU monitors the signals from each wheel speed sensor 
while the vehicle is being driven. If any fault below is found in 
these sensor signals, ASC-ECU will set the relevant diagnostic 
trouble code.

• Irregular change in the wheel speed sensor signal

• Wheel speed sensor signal continuously indicates high 

value.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

Current trouble

• Excessive gap between the wheel speed sensor and the 

wheel speed detection encoder

• Adhesion of foreign materials on the wheel speed sensor

DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-60

• Adhesion of foreign materials on the wheel speed detection 

encoder

• Wheel bearing malfunction

• Malfunction of wheel speed sensor

• Damaged wiring harness and connectors

• External noise interference

• Improper installation of the wheel speed sensor

• Deformation of the wheel speed detection encoder

• ASC-ECU malfunction

• Disturbance of magnetization pattern for wheel speed 

detection encoder

• The number of poles on the Magnetic encoder for wheel 

speed detection (N-pole and S-pole) is changed

Past trouble

• When the diagnostic trouble code No. C102B is also set, 

carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on wiring har-
ness and connector failures between ASC-ECU and the 
wheel speed sensor. For diagnosis procedures, refer to 
How to treat past trouble (Refer to GROUP 00 

− How to 

Use Troubleshooting/How to Treat Past Trouble 

P.00-17

).

• When the diagnostic trouble code No. C102B is not set, the 

following conditions may be present:

• Some wheels slip

• Unstable vehicle attitude

• External noise interference

• Vehicle ran with the parking brake applied.

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

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus 
lines.
Use scan tool 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 54C 

− 

CAN Bus Diagnostics Table 

P.54C-17

). On 

completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. DTC recheck after resetting CAN bus lines
Q: Is DTC C1032 set?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-61

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check the DTC
Check that the DTC C102B is also set.
Q: Is DTC C102B also set?

YES : Perform the diagnosis for the DTC C102B (Refer to 

P.35C-37

).

NO :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Connector check: A-02 ASC-ECU connector, 
C-129 intermediate connector, D-133 rear wheel speed 
sensor <RH> connector
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair the defective connector. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 5. Wiring harness check between A-03 ASC-ECU 
connector terminal No.43 and D-133 rear wheel speed 
sensor <RH> connector terminal No.1, and between A-03 
ASC-ECU connector terminal No.42 and D-133 rear wheel 
speed sensor <RH> connector terminal No.2.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check for wheel speed sensor <RR> installation
Check how the wheel speed sensor <RR> is installed (Discon-
nection of wheel speed sensor <RR>, loose mounting bolt, 
etc.).
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 7.

wheel speed sensor <RR> and the wheel speed detection 
magnet encoder.

Check the Rear wheel hub assembly <RR (FWD)> (Refer to 
GROUP 27A 

 Wheel Bearing Play Check 

P.27A-6

).

Check the wheel bearing <RR (AWD)> for looseness (Refer 
to GROUP 27B 

 Wheel Bearing Play Check

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO (FWD) : Replace the rear wheel hub assembly <RR> 

(Refer to GROUP 27A 

− Rear axle hub assembly

Then go to Step 12.

STEP 9. 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 10.

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 12.

NO <Deformation (FWD)> : Replace the rear wheel hub 

assembly <RR> (Refer to GROUP 27A
