MANUAL TRANSMISSION (FF)

22A-19

Code No.26 Wheel speed sensor system (faulty output signal)

ABS SIGNAL LINE SYSTEM CIRCUIT

Refer to

P.22A-14

.

OPERATION

The 4WD-ECU receives each wheel speed sensor
signal through the ABS-ECU to detect the conditions
of the wheel speed sensors.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

Code No.26 is set as output signal error of the wheel
speed sensor when one wheel speed is outside the
specified range at the vehicle speed of above 20
km/h. However, warning lamp will light up.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the tyre

• Malfunction of the wheel speed sensor

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Malfunction of the ABS-ECU

• Malfunction of the 4WD-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check the tyre.
Check the tyre pressure, size and brand.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Adjust or replace the tyre.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-II/III diagnosis code

Q: Are ABS diagnosis codes 11, 12, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23,

24 set?
YES :

Refer to GROUP 35B

− Check Chart for

Diagnosis Codes

P.35B-9

.

NO :

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-II/III diagnosis code

Q: Are ACD diagnosis codes 21, 22, 23, 24 set?

YES :

Refer to diagnosis code 21, 22, 23, 24

Wheel Speed Sensor System

P.22A-14

.

NO :

Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. M.U.T.-II/III data list

• Item 01: Wheel speed sensor <FR>

• Item 02: Wheel speed sensor <FL>

• Item 03: Wheel speed sensor <RR>

• Item 04: Wheel speed sensor <RL>

Check the above data list (Refer to data list reference
table

P.22A-142

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00

− How to Cope with Intermittent

Malfunction

P.00-5

).

NO :

Replace the 4WD-ECU.

TROUBLESHOOTING <ACD>

MANUAL TRANSMISSION (FF)

22A-21

OPERATION

The steering wheel sensor detects the neutral posi-
tion and steering angle of the steering wheel by the
photointerruptor (ST-1, ST-2 or ST-N), and sends
them to the 4WD-ECU.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

Code No.31 is set when open circuit or short circuit
of the steering wheel sensor output line (ST-1, ST-2,
or ST-N) occurs.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the steering wheel sensor

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Malfunction of the 4WD-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. M.U.T.-II/III diagnosis code

Q: Are ABS diagnosis codes 81, 82, 83 set?

YES :

Go to Step 8.

NO :

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-II/III data list

• Item 21: Steering wheel sensor voltage <ST-1>

• Item 22: Steering wheel sensor voltage <ST-2>

• Item 23: Steering wheel sensor voltage <ST-N>

Check the above data list (Refer to data list reference
table

P.22A-142

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00

− How to Cope with Intermittent

Malfunction

P.00-5

).

NO :

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Measure the voltage at 4WD-ECU
connector C-26.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(2) Measure the voltage between the following

terminals of 4WD-ECU connector C-26 and earth
while turning the steering wheel.

• Terminal No.33 <ST-1>

• Terminal No.34 <ST-2>

• Terminal No.44 <ST-N>

OK: Approximately 1.5

⇔ 3.5 V flushing

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Go to Step 6.

STEP 4. Connector check: C-26 4WD-ECU
connector.

Check for the contact with terminals.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 5. M.U.T.-II/III data list

• Item 21: Steering wheel sensor voltage <ST-1>

• Item 22: Steering wheel sensor voltage <ST-2>

• Item 23: Steering wheel sensor voltage <ST-N>

Check the above data list (Refer to data list reference
table

P.22A-142

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00

− How to Cope with Intermittent

Malfunction
