Code No.C1225: Wheel speed sensor malfunction (Abnormality in tyre size)

CAUTION

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

an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior
to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines
(Refer to GROUP 54C

− CAN Bus Diagnostics

Table .).

• Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the

communication circuit is normal.

OPERATION

• A toothed ABS rotor generates a voltage pulse as

it moves across the pickup field of each wheel
speed sensor.

• The amount of voltage generated at each wheel

is determined by the clearance between the ABS
rotor teeth and the wheel speed sensor, and by
the speed of rotation.

• The wheel speed sensors transmit the frequency

of the voltage pulses and the amount of voltage
generated by each pulse to the ABS-ECU.

• The hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with

ABS-ECU) modulates the amount of braking
force individually applied to each wheel cylinder.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITION
This diagnosis code is set when the average speed
of the front wheels differs from that of the rear wheel
by 20 % or more after the vehicle speed exceeds 30
km/h.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Installation of different size tyres

• Damaged wiring harness or connector

• ABS-ECU malfunction

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

CAUTION

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

an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior
to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines
(Refer to GROUP 54C

− CAN Bus Diagnostics

Table .).

• Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the

communication circuit is normal.

OPERATION

• ABS-ECU contains the power supply circuit (ter-

minal No.1) for the solenoid valve. The solenoid
valve is energised by the valve relay, which is
incorporated in ABS-ECU.

• The valve relay, which is incorporated in ABS-

ECU, is always energising the solenoid valve
unless the initial check is in progress when the
ignition switch is turned on, or the recurrent sys-
tem check is in progress.

• ABS-ECU activates the solenoid valve by turning

on its driving transistor.

These diagnosis codes will be set under the cases
below.
