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.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
This diagnostic trouble code 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.

DIAGNOSIS

PROBABLE CAUSES

｠

Damaged wiring harness and connectors

｠

External noise interference

｠

Malfunction of wheel speed sensor

｠

ASC-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

｠

MB991997: ASC check harness

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
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 54D - CAN

Bus Diagnostics table P.54D-17.) On completion, go to
Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnostic trouble code recheck after resetting
CAN bus lines

Q:Is DTC C1048 set?

YES:

 Go to Step 3.

NO:

 The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III diagnostic trouble code
Check that the diagnostic trouble codes C1020, C1027, C102A,
and C1043 are also set.

Q:Are DTC C1020, C1027, C102A, and C1043 also set?

YES:

 Carry out the diagnosis for the relevant diagnostic

trouble codes, and then go to Step 5.

NO:

 Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnostic trouble code is reset.

(1)

Erase the diagnostic trouble code.

ACTIVE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

DIAGNOSIS

(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 C1048 set?

YES:

 Replace the ASC-ECU, and then go to Step 5.

NO:

 The procedure is complete.

STEP 5. 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 C1048 set?

YES:

 Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to GROUP 00 - How

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

NO:

 The procedure is complete.
