ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM(w/ Vacuum Brake Booster), Diagnostic DTC:C1415, C1416

DTC Code DTC Name
C1415 Rear Speed Sensor RH Output Malfunction
C1416 Rear Speed Sensor LH Output Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). These signals are used for brake control.

Speed sensor rotors have rows of alternating N and S magnetic poles, and their magnetic fields change when the rotors turn.

Each speed sensor detects that magnetic change and sends a pulse signal to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).

Tech Tips

When the connectors between the speed sensor and skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) are connected, the following waveform is output.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION)


    1. Using the GTS, check for any momentary interruption in the wire harness and connector corresponding to a DTC.

      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      RR Speed Sensor Voltage Open Rear speed sensor RH voltage open detection Error or Normal

      Error: Momentary interruption detected

      Normal: Momentary interruption not detected

      After a momentary interruption occurs, if there is no momentary interruption for 1 second, it switches from "Error" to "Normal".
      RL Speed Sensor Voltage Open Rear speed sensor LH voltage open detection Error or Normal

      Error: Momentary interruption detected

      Normal: Momentary interruption not detected

      After a momentary interruption occurs, if there is no momentary interruption for 1 second, it switches from "Error" to "Normal".

  2. READ VALUE USING GTS (REAR SPEED SENSOR)


    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Start the engine.

    4. Select the Data List using the GTS.

    5. Check the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the GTS.

      Tech Tips

      Factors that affect the indicated vehicle speed include tire size, tire pressure, and tire wear. The speed indicated on the speedometer has an allowable margin of error. This can be tested using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer). For details about testing and the margin of error, see the reference chart.

      Click here

      OK
      The speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the GTS is similar to the speed indicated on the speedometer.
