Description

INFOID:0000000009479421

When the sensor rotor rotates, the magnetic field changes. It converts the magnetic field changes to current

signals (rectangular wave) and transmits them to the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULT

With CONSULT.

1. Start engine and drive vehicle at approximately 21 km/h (13 MPH) or more for approximately 5 minutes.

2. Perform self diagnostic result.
Is DTC C1101, C1102, C1103 or C1104 detected?

YES

>> Proceed to diagnosis procedure. Refer to 

BRC-153, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

NO

>> Inspection End.

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000009479423

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to 

BRC-213, "Wiring Diagram - VDC WITH HILL DESCENT

CONTROL/HILL START ASSIST"

.

CAUTION:

Do not check between wheel sensor terminals.

1.

CONFIRM DTC

 With CONSULT

1. Perform self-diagnostic result of ABS and record all active DTCs.

2. Clear all DTCs.

3. Perform DTC confirmation procedure. Refer to 

BRC-153, "DTC Logic"

.

Does DTC C1101, C1102, C1103 or C1104 reset?

YES

>> GO TO 2.

NO

>> Refer to 

GI-42, "Intermittent Incident"

.

2.

INSPECT WHEEL SENSOR

Inspect the suspect wheel sensor for damage or deformation.

DTC

Display Item

Malfunction detected condition

Possible causes

C1101

RR RH SENSOR-1

• When power supply voltage of rear wheel sensor 

RH is low.

• When an open or shorted circuit is detected in rear 

wheel sensor RH circuit.

• Harness or connector
• Wheel sensor
• ABS actuator and electric unit 

(control unit)

C1102

RR LH SENSOR-1

• When power supply voltage of rear wheel sensor 

LH is low.

• When an open or shorted circuit is detected in rear 

wheel sensor LH circuit.

C1103

FR RH SENSOR-1

• When power supply voltage of front wheel sensor 

RH is low.

• When an open or shorted circuit is detected in front 

wheel sensor RH circuit.

C1104

FR LH SENSOR-1

• When power supply voltage of front wheel sensor 

LH is low.

• When an open or shorted circuit is detected in front 

wheel sensor LH circuit.

[TYPE 2]

C1101, C1102, C1103, C1104 WHEEL SENSOR

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 3.

NO

>> Repair or replace as necessary.

3.

HARNESS AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION

1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E127 and wheel sensor connector of

suspect wheel.

2. Check harness, connectors and terminals for corrosion, deformation, disconnection, looseness or dam-

age.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 4.

NO

>> Repair or replace as necessary.

4.

CHECK WHEEL SENSOR OUTPUT SIGNAL

1. Connect ABS active wheel sensor tester (J-45741) to wheel sensor using appropriate adapter.

2. Turn on the ABS active wheel sensor tester power switch.

NOTE:

The green POWER indicator should illuminate. If the POWER indicator does not illuminate, replace the

battery in the ABS active wheel sensor tester before proceeding.

3. Spin the wheel of the vehicle by hand and observe the red SENSOR indicator on the ABS active wheel

sensor tester. The red SENSOR indicator should flash on and off to indicate an output signal.

NOTE:

If the red SENSOR indicator illuminates but does not flash, reverse the polarity of the tester leads and

retest.

Does the ABS active wheel sensor tester detect a signal?

YES

>> GO TO 5.

NO

>> Replace the wheel sensor. Refer to 

BRC-234, "Removal and Installation"

.

5.

CHECK WIRING HARNESS FOR SHORT TO VOLTAGE

1. Turn ignition switch ON.

2. Check voltage between wheel sensor harness connector terminals of suspect wheel and ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 6.

NO

>> Repair the circuit.

6.

CHECK WIRING HARNESS FOR SHORT TO GROUND

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

2. Check continuity between wheel sensor harness connector terminals of suspect wheel and ground.
