and the body ground

OK: No continuity

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

 Go to Step 11.

NO (Not normal at the terminal No. 24 or 25):

 Go to Step

10.

STEP 10. Connector check: A-01 ABS-ECU connector,
C-129 intermediate connector, D-114 wheel speed sensor
<RL> connector

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

 The short circuit in the wheel speed sensor <RL>

circuit may be present. Repair the wiring harness between
the A-01 ABS-ECU connector terminal No. 24/25 and the
D-114 wheel speed sensor <RL> connector terminal No. 1/2.

NO:

 Repair the defective connector.

connector terminal No. 24/25 and D-114 wheel speed sensor
<RL> connector terminal No. 1/2

｠

Check for open circuit in wheel speed sensor <RL> circuit

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

 Go to Step 14.

NO:

 Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 14. Check whether the diagnostic trouble code is
reset.

(1)

Erase the diagnostic trouble code.

(2)

Drive the vehicle at 12mph (20 km/h) or more.

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 C1027 set?

YES:

 Replace the ABS-ECU.

NO:

 Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to GROUP 00 - How

to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction P.00-15.)

If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect
diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis,
diagnose the CAN bus lines. (Refer to GROUP 54D, Trouble
code diagnosis P.54D-17).

CIRCUIT 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
frequency 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
ABS-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, ABS-ECU will set the relevant diagnostic
trouble code.

Irregular change in the wheel speed sensor signal
