| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| C1271 | Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor RH (Test Mode DTC) |
| C1272 | Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor LH (Test Mode DTC) |
| C1330 | Open in Front Speed Sensor RH |
| C1331 | Open in Front Speed Sensor LH |
| C1464 | Front Speed Sensor RH |
| C1465 | Front Speed Sensor LH |
DESCRIPTION
Each speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). These signals are used by the ABS control system.
Speed sensor rotors have rows of alternating N and S magnetic poles, with 32 pairs per wheel, and their magnetic fields change when the rotors turn.
Hall IC type speed sensors use the frequency of output pulses to detect the vehicle speed. Because the sensor outputs digital pulses, it can detect the vehicle speed even when the vehicle is nearly stationary.
DTCs C1271 and C1272 are cleared when the speed sensor sends a vehicle speed signal or when Test Mode ends. DTCs C1271 and C1272 are output only in Test Mode.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| C1464 C1465 |
Any of the following is detected:
|
|
| C1330 C1331 |
An open or short in the speed sensor signal circuit. |
|
| C1271 C1272 |
Detected only during Test Mode. |
|
*1: If the speed of any wheel is less than 5 km/h (3 mph), a speed difference of up to 15% is allowable.
*2: If the speed of any wheel is less than 5 km/h (3 mph), a speed difference of up to 16 km/h (10 mph) is allowable.
Tech Tips
DTCs C1271, C1330 and C1464 are for the front speed sensor RH.
DTCs C1272, C1331 and C1465 are for the front speed sensor LH.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (FRONT SPEED SENSOR)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Data List.
According to the display on the intelligent tester, read the Data List.
| Tester Display | Measurement Item/Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| FR Wheel Speed | Front wheel speed sensor RH reading / Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) | Vehicle stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph) | When driving at constant speed: No large fluctuations |
| FL Wheel Speed | Front wheel speed sensor LH reading / Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) | Vehicle stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph) | When driving at constant speed: No large fluctuations |
Check the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the intelligent tester.
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 intelligent tester is similar to the speed indicated on the speedometer. |

CHECK FRONT SPEED SENSOR AND FRONT SPEED SENSOR ROTOR
Remove the front speed sensor and the front speed sensor rotor (front axle hub bearing) Click here for front speed sensor, and Click here for front speed sensor rotor (front axle hub bearing)).
Check the front speed sensor tip and front speed sensor rotor (front axle hub bearing).
| OK |
|---|
| No scratches, oil, or foreign matter on the sensor tip and rotor. |
Note
If no damage to the speed sensor tip is found during this inspection, do not replace the speed sensor.
If there are any ferrous metal filings stuck to the rotor, this will result in a malfunction, so confirm that the rotor is not contaminated with foreign matter before replacing the sensor.
