Mitsubishi Outlander XL. Manual — part 613

NO:

Replace the wheel speed sensor.

STEP 12. 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 C100A set?

YES:

Replace the ABS-ECU.

NO:

Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to GROUP 00 - How

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

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).

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) DIAGNOSIS

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 ABS-ECU. ABS-ECU uses the frequency of the pulse
signals to determine the wheel speed.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
ABS-ECU monitors the voltage fluctuation in each wheel speed
sensor circuit. If ABS-ECU detects the open or short circuit in
the circuit, it will set a daignostic trouble code.

PROBABLE CAUSES

Current trouble

｠

Damaged wiring harness and connectors

｠

Noise interference

｠

Malfunction of wheel speed sensor

｠

ABS-ECU malfunction

Past trouble

｠

Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on wiring
harness and connector failures between ABS-ECU and the
wheel speed sensor. For diagnosis procedures, refer to How
to treat past trouble (GROUP 00 - How to Cope with
Intermittent Malfunction P.00-15).

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

｠

MB991974: ABS 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 the diagnostic trouble code No. C1015 set?

YES:

Go to Step 3.

NO:

The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III data list
Check the following service data.

｠

Item No.02: FR wheel speed sensor

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How

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

NO:

Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Voltage measurement at the A-01 ABS-ECU
connector

ABS-ECU

MB991974

Check harness

A-01 ABS-ECU
harness connector

(1)

Disconnect the ABS-ECU connector, connect special tool
MB991974 to the harness-side connector, and then measure
the resistance at the special tool connector side.

NOTE:

Do not connect the special tool MB991974 to ABS-

ECU.

(2)

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(3)

Measure the voltage between the wheel speed sensor power
supply terminal (signal terminal) No. 22/the ground terminal
No. 21 and the body ground.

OK: 0 volt

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

Go to Step 5.

NO (Not normal at the terminal No. 22 or 21):

Go to Step

6.
