| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| C0200/31 | Front Speed Sensor RH Circuit |
| C0205/32 | Front Speed Sensor LH Circuit |
| C1235/35 | Foreign Object is Attached on Tip of Front Speed Sensor RH |
| C1236/36 | Foreign Object is Attached on Tip of Front Speed Sensor LH |
DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used for control of the ABS control systems. Each of the front and rear rotors has 48 serrations.
When the rotors rotate, the magnetic field emitted by the permanent magnet in the speed sensor generates 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.
| DTC No. | DTC Detecting Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| C0200/31 C0205/32 |
Detection of any of conditions 1. through 3.:
|
|
| C1235/35 C1236/36 |
When the vehicle speed is higher than 20 km/h (12 mph) and noise on the abnormal wheel sensor signal continues for 5 seconds or more. |

Tech Tips
DTC No. C0200/31 and C1235/35 is the right front speed sensor.
DTC No. C0205/32 and C1236/36 is the left front speed sensor.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Tech Tips
Start the inspection from step 1 in case of using intelligent tester and start from step 2 in case of not using intelligent tester.
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE OF FRONT SPEED SENSOR
Select the DATALIST mode on the intelligent tester.
Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed by the intelligent tester and the speed value displayed by the speedometer when driving the vehicle.
| OK |
|---|
| There is almost no difference from the displayed speed value. |
Tech Tips
There is tolerance of +/- 10% in the speedometer indication.
| OK |

INSPECT SPEED SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR SERRATIONS
(REFERENCE) INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE
Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals FR+ - FR- and FL+ - FL- of the skid control ECU.
Drive the vehicle at about 30 km/h (19 mph), and check the signal waveform.
Tech Tips
As the vehicle speed (wheel revolution speed) increases, a cycle of the waveform becomes shorter and the fluctuation in the output voltage becomes greater.
When noise is identified in the waveform on the oscilloscope, error signals are generated due to the speed sensor rotor's scratches, looseness or foreign matter deposited on it.
