YES:

 Go to Step 13.

NO:

 Go to Step 11.

STEP 11. Connector check: A-02 ASC-ECU connector,
D-133 wheel speed sensor <RR> connector

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

 Go to Step 12.

NO:

 Repair the defective connector.

STEP 12. Wiring harness check between A-02 ASC-ECU
connector terminal No. 43/42 and D-133 wheel speed sensor
<RR> connector terminal No. 1/2

｠

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

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

 Replace the wheel speed sensor.

NO:

 Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 13. Check for wheel speed sensor as a single unit
Refer to P.35C-197.

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

 Go to Step 14.

NO:

 Replace the wheel speed sensor.

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.

DIAGNOSIS

Q:Is DTC C102B set?

YES:

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

DIAGNOSIS

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

｠

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

Past trouble

｠

When the diagnostic trouble code No. C100A is also set, carry
out diagnosis with particular emphasis on wiring harness 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 Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction P.00-15).

｠

When the diagnostic trouble code No. C100A is not set, the
following conditions may be present:

｠

Right or/and left wheels are rotated.

｠

Unstable vehicle attitude

｠

External noise interference

｠

Vehicle ran with the parking brake applied.
