CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the ap-
propriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used for control
of the ABS and VSC control systems. Each of the front and rear
rotors has 48 serrations.
When the rotors rotate, the magnetic field emitted by the perma-
nent magnet in the speed sensor generates an AC voltage.
Since the frequency of this AC voltage changes in direct propor-
tion to the speed of the rotor, the frequency is used by the ECU
to detect the speed of each wheel.

DTC No.

DTC Detecting Condition

Trouble Area

C0200/31
C0205/32

Detection of any of conditions 1. through 3.:
1. At vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, pulses are

not input for 15 sec.

2. Momentary interruption of the speed sensor signal oc-

curs at least 7 times in the time between switching the

ignition switch ON and switching it OFF.

3. The condition that the speed sensor signal circuit is

open continues for 0.5 sec. or more.

At the vehicle speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more, the
condition that noise is included in the speed sensor signal
continues for 5 sec. or more.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Start the inspection from step 1 in case of using hand-held tester and start from step 2 in case of not using
hand-held tester.

1

READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER(SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT VALUE)

(a)

Select the item ”WHEEL SPEED FL (FR)” in the DATA LIST and read its value displayed on the hand-
held tester.

(b)

Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed
on the hand-held tester and the speed value displayed on the speedometer when driving the vehicle.
OK: There is almost no difference from the displayed speed value.

HINT:
There is tolerance of

10 % in the speedometer indication.

OK
