ABS SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE CHECK

M1352001600333

Required Special Tool:

• MB991219: Inspection Harness

NOTE: Two ECUs of the same type are situated up and down
in a row at the inner part of the floor console. The upper side
ECU is the M-ASTC-ECU. The lower side ECU is the transfer
ECU.
1. Lift up the vehicle and release the parking brake.

2. Disconnect the M-ASTC-ECU connector, and then use

special tool MB991219 to measure the output voltage at the
harness side connector.

3. Manually turn the wheel to be measured 1/2 to 1

turn/second. Measure the output voltage with a voltmeter or
oscilloscope.

Output voltage:

• Minimal voltmeter reading: 42 mV

• Maximum voltmeter reading: 300 mV

• Minimal oscilloscope reading: 120 mV

• Maximum oscilloscope reading: 600 mV

Probable causes of low output voltage

• ABS sensor pole piece-to-ABS rotor clearance too large

• Faulty ABS sensor

NOTE: Check the connection of the sensor harness and con-
nector before using the oscilloscope.
4. To observe the waveform with an oscilloscope: Start the

engine, move the transfer selector lever to the "4H" position
and the transmission selector lever to "D" range, and then
spin the wheel.
NOTE: The output waveform is low when the wheel speed is
low. Similarly, it will be higher as the wheel speed increases.
Waveform may also be observed by driving the vehicle.

POINTS IN WAVEFORM MEASUREMENT

NOTE: The ABS sensor cable moves in relation to motion of the front or rear suspension. Therefore, it is
likely that it has an open circuit only when driving on rough roads but it functions normally when driving on
smooth roads. It is recommended to observe sensor output voltage waveform also under special conditions,
such as driving on a rough road.

SYMPTOM

PROBABLE CAUSES

REMEDY

Too small or zero waveform amplitude

Faulty ABS sensor

Replace sensor

Waveform amplitude fluctuates
excessively (This is no problem if the
minimum amplitude is 100 mV or more)

Axle hub eccentric or with large runout

Replace hub

Noisy or disturbed waveform

Open circuit in ABS sensor

Replace sensor

Open circuit in harness

Repair harness

Incorrectly mounted ABS sensor

Mount correctly

ABS rotor with missing or damaged teeth Replace ABS rotor
