| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| C0200/31 | Front Speed Sensor RH Circuit |
| C0205/32 | Front Speed Sensor LH Circuit |
| C1271/71 | Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor RH (Test Mode DTC) |
| C1272/72 | Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor LH (Test Mode DTC) |
DESCRIPTION
The speed sensors detect wheel speed and transmit the signals to the ECU. These signals are used for control of the ABS control system. Each of the front and rear rotors has 48 serrations. When the rotors rotate, the magnetic filed generated by the permanent magnet in the speed sensor induces an AC voltage.
Since the frequency of this AC voltage changes in direct proportion to the speed of the rotor, the frequency is used by the ECU to detect the speed of each wheel.
DTCs C1271/71 and C1272/72 can be deleted when the speed sensor sends a wheel speed signal or the Test Mode ends. DTCs C1271/71 and C1272/72 are output only in the Test Mode.
| DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| C0200/31 C0205/32 |
When any of the following is detected:
|
|
| C1271/71 C1272/72 |
Detected only during Test Mode. |

Tech Tips
DTCs C0200/31 and C1271/71 are for the front speed sensor RH.
DTCs C0205/32 and C1272/72 are for the front speed sensor LH.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE ON INTELLIGENT TESTER (FRONT SPEED SENSOR)
Replace the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) for the intelligent tester with the 24 V DLC3 cable.
Note
Be sure to use the 24 V DLC3 cable when connecting the intelligent tester to the DLC3. Using the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) will cause damage to the tester.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine.
Select the Data List mode on the intelligent tester Click here.
| Tester Display | Measurement Item/Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| FR Wheel Speed | FR wheel speed sensor reading / min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) | Actual wheel speed | Similar speed as indicated on speedometer |
| FL Wheel Speed | FL wheel speed sensor reading / min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) | Actual wheel speed | Similar speed as indicated on speedometer |
Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the intelligent tester and the actual speed value when driving the vehicle.
Tech Tips
Factors that affect the indicated vehicle speed include tire size, tire inflation, 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 intelligent tester is the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer). |

RECONFIRM DTC
Turn the ignition switch off.
Clear the DTC (See Pub. No. RM1008E, page 05-195).
Start the engine.
Drive the vehicle at the speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more for at least 30 seconds.
Check if the same DTC is recorded (See Pub. No. RM1008E, page 05-195).

CHECK FRONT SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION
Turn the ignition switch off.
Check the speed sensor installation.
| OK |
|---|
| There is no clearance between the sensor and the front steering knuckle. |
| The installation bolt is tightened properly. |

INSTALL FRONT SPEED SENSOR CORRECTLY |
| OK |

CHECK FRONT SPEED SENSOR TIP
Remove the front speed sensor (See Pub. No. RM1008E, page 32-89).
Check the speed sensor tip.
| OK |
|---|
| No scratches or foreign matter on the sensor tip. |

INSPECT FRONT SPEED SENSOR
Turn the ignition switch off.
Install the front speed sensor.
Disconnect the front speed sensor connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

CHECK SPEED SENSOR AND SPEED SENSOR ROTOR SERRATIONS
Reconnect the skid control ECU connector and the front speed sensor connector.
Connect the oscilloscope to the front speed sensor terminal of the skid control ECU.
Check that a waveform is output by each sensor circuit when the tires are rotated.
| OK |
|---|
| The same waveform is output from all the 4 wheels and there is no noise or interference in the waveform. |
Tech Tips
As the vehicle speed (wheel revolution speed) increases, a cycle of the waveform narrows and the output voltage becomes greater.
When noise is identified in the waveform on the oscilloscope, the erratic signals are generated due to speed sensor rotor's scratches, looseness or foreign matter attached to it.
