tool ASC check harness (MB991997) to the wiring
harness-side connector, and then measure at the special
tool connector side.
NOTE: Do not connect the special tool to ASC-ECU.

(2) Measure the resistance between the wheel speed sensor

circuit power supply terminal (signal terminal) No. 43 and

connector terminal No. 43 and D-09 wheel speed sensor
<RR> connector terminal No. 1, and between A-05
ASC-ECU connector terminal No. 42 and D-09 wheel speed
sensor <RR> connector terminal No. 2

• Short circuit check of wheel speed sensor <RR> circuit

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Replace the wheel speed sensor <RR>. (Refer to

P.35C-300

.) Then go to Step 17.

NO : Repair the wiring harness. Then go to Step 17.

STEP 9. Voltage measurement at A-05 ASC-ECU connector
(1) Disconnect the ASC-ECU connector, connect the special

tool ASC check harness (MB991997) to the ASC-ECU-side
connector and the wiring harness-side connector, and then
measure at the special tool connector side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Measure the voltage between the wheel speed sensor

circuit power supply terminal (signal terminal) No. 43 and
the body ground.

OK: Battery positive voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : Go to Step 12.

STEP 10. Wiring harness check between A-05 ASC-ECU
connector terminal No. 43 and D-09 wheel speed sensor
<RR> connector terminal No. 1, and between A-05
ASC-ECU connector terminal No. 42 and D-09 wheel speed
sensor <RR> connector terminal No. 2

• Open circuit check of wheel speed sensor <RR> circuit

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 11.
NO : Repair the wiring harness. Then go to Step 17.

STEP 11. Check of wheel speed sensor as a single unit
Refer to

P.35C-303

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 13.
NO : Replace the wheel speed sensor <RR>. (Refer to

P.35C-300

.) Then go to Step 17.

STEP 12. Connector check: A-05 ASC-ECU connector,
C-47 intermediate connector, D-09 wheel speed sensor
<RR> connector
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 16.
NO : Repair the defective connector. Then go to Step 17.

STEP 13. Check of wheel speed sensor installation status
Check the installation status of wheel speed sensor <RR> (dis-
connection of wheel speed sensor, looseness of mounting bolt,
etc.).
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 14.
NO : Reinstall the wheel speed sensor <RR> correctly.

(Refer to

P.35C-300

.) Then go to Step 17.

STEP 14. Wheel bearing looseness check
NOTE:

.

•

Wheel bearing looseness may increase the gap between
the wheel speed sensor and the wheel speed detection
magnet encoder.

•

Check the wheel bearing <RR> for looseness. (Refer to
GROUP 27

−

On-vehicle Service

P.27-32

.)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 15.
NO : Replace the rear wheel hub assembly. (Refer to

GROUP 27 − Rear Axle Hub Assembly

P.27-35

.)

STEP 15. Check of wheel speed detection encoder
Check the encoder for adhesion of foreign materials or defor-
mation.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 16.
NO (Adhesion of foreign materials) : Clean the encoder

so as not to disturb the magnetization pattern on the
encoder while taking care of the magnet, magnetic
substance, and magnetic attraction.

NO (Deformation) : Replace the rear hub assembly. (Refer

to GROUP 27 − Rear Axle Hub Assembly

P.27-35

cases unless the vehicle runs at 12mph (20 km/h) or higher.
Q: Is DTC C1049 set?

YES : Replace the hydraulic unit (incorporates in

ASC-ECU).(Refer to

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-

rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN

bus lines are normal.

• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is

replaced, always perform the calibration of steering
wheel sensor, G and yaw rate sensor, brake fluid pres-
sure sensor, cut valve, and inlet valve.(Refer to

P.35C-287

,

P.35C-289

,

P.35C-294

, and

P.35C-295

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• ASC-ECU contains the power supply circuit (terminal No.

32) for the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is energized
by the valve relay, which is incorporated in ASC-ECU.
