caution
  • If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect DTC may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
 
 
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 ASC-ECU. ASC-ECU uses the frequency of the pulse signals to determine the wheel speed.
 
 
 
DTC SET CONDITIONS
ASC-ECU monitors the signals from each wheel speed sensor while the vehicle is being driven. If any periodical drop is found in these sensor signals, ASC-ECU will store the relevant DTC.
 
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
  • Wheel bearing malfunction
  • Deformation of the wheel speed detection encoder
  • Adhesion of foreign materials on the wheel speed detection encoder
  • ASC-ECU malfunction
  • The number of poles on the Magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection (N-pole and S-pole) is changed
 
 
 
 
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Scan tool (M.U.T.-III) CAN bus diagnosis
(1)
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-III), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-III).
Connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III). Refer to "How to connect the Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III) ."
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3.
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ). On completion, go to Step 2.
 
STEP 2. DTC recheck after resetting CAN bus lines
Is DTC No.C1041, 1042, 1043 or 1044 set?
Go to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.
 
STEP 3. Check for wheel bearing looseness
noteLoose wheel bearing may increase the gap between the wheel speed sensor and the wheel speed detection magnet encoder. Check the wheel bearing for looseness. <Refer to GROUP 26 - Wheel Bearing End Play Check . (front), GROUP 27A - Wheel Bearing End Play Check (rear-FWD) or GROUP 27B - Wheel Bearing End Play Check (rear-AWD)>
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4.
Replace the wheel bearing <front> or rear wheel hub assembly <rear>. <Refer to GROUP 26 - Front Axle Hub Assembly (front), GROUP 27A - Rear Axle Hub Assembly (rear-FWD) or GROUP 27B - Rear Axle Hub Assembly (rear-AWD)> Then go to Step 6.
 
STEP 4. Check of wheel speed detection encoder
Check the encoder for adhesion of foreign materials or deformation.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
: Remove the foreign materials and clean the encoder so as not to disturb the magnetization pattern on it while taking care of the magnet, magnetic substance, and magnetic attraction. Then go to Step 6.
: Replace the wheel bearing <front> or rear wheel hub assembly <rear>. <Refer to GROUP 26 - Front Axle Hub Assembly (front), GROUP 27A - Rear Axle Hub Assembly (rear-FWD) or GROUP 27B - Rear Axle Hub Assembly (rear-AWD)> Then go to Step 6.
 
STEP 5. Check whether the DTC is set again.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Drive the vehicle at 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher.
noteThe ABS warning light does not turn OFF in some cases unless the vehicle runs at 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher.
Is DTC No. C1041, 1042, 1043 or 1044 set?
Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) (Refer to ). Then go to Step 6.
This diagnosis is complete.
 
STEP 6. Check whether the DTC is set again.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Drive the vehicle at 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher.
noteThe ABS warning light does not turn OFF in some cases unless the vehicle runs at 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher.
Is DTC No. C1041, 1042, 1043 or 1044 set?
Return to Step 1.
This diagnosis is complete.
