VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1403, C1404

DTC Code DTC Name
C1403 Rear Speed Sensor RH Malfunction
C1404 Rear Speed Sensor LH Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU. These signals are used for the ABS control system. This speed sensor contains a sensor IC, which consists of 2 MREs (Magnetic Resistance Elements). The speed sensor rotor, which consists of 48 sets of N and S poles arranged in a circle, is integrated with the inner race of the hub bearing.

To detect the rotation direction, the output waves are used to determine the relationship of the pulses that are generated by the 2 MREs. Upon receiving this signal, the sensor IC outputs a forward or backward waveform to the ECU.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area

C1403

C1404

Any of the following is detected:


  1. At a vehicle speed 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, output voltage from one of the speed sensors is less than that from the other sensors for 15 seconds or more.

  2. At a vehicle speed less than 10 km/h (6 mph), output from one of the speed sensors is 0 km/h (0 mph) for 1 second or more.

  3. At a vehicle speed less than 10 km/h (6 mph), outputs from both rear speed sensors are 0 km/h (0 mph) for a cumulative time of 200 seconds.

  • Rear speed sensor RH/LH

  • Speed sensor rotor

Tech Tips


  • DTC C1403 is for the rear speed sensor RH.

  • DTC C1404 is for the rear speed sensor LH.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK REAR SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION


    1. A0162WXE05

      Check the speed sensor installation.

      OK
      There is no clearance between the sensor and the rear axle carrier.
      The installation bolt is tightened properly.
      Torque
      8.5 N*m (87 kgf*cm, 75 in.*lbf)

    NG

    INSTALL REAR SPEED SENSOR CORRECTLY Click here

    OK

  2. CHECK REAR SPEED SENSOR TIP


    1. Remove the rear speed sensor Click here.

    2. Check the speed sensor tip.

      OK
      No scratches, oil, or foreign matter on the sensor tip.

      Note

      Check the speed sensor signal after cleaning or replacement Click here.


    NG

    CLEAN OR REPLACE REAR SPEED SENSOR

    OK

  3. CHECK REAR SPEED SENSOR ROTOR


    1. Remove the rear speed sensor rotor Click here.

    2. Check the speed sensor rotor.

      OK
      No scratches, oil, or foreign matter on the rotors.

      Note

      Check the speed sensor signal after cleaning or replacement Click here.

      Tech Tips

      The rear speed sensor rotor is incorporated into the rear axle hub and bearing assembly.

      If the rear speed sensor rotor needs to be replaced, replace it together with the rear axle hub and bearing assembly.


    NG

    CLEAN OR REPLACE REAR SPEED SENSOR ROTOR

    OK

  4. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (REAR SPEED SENSOR)


    1. Install the rear speed sensor and the rear speed sensor rotor.

    2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    3. Start the engine.

    4. Select the Data List on the intelligent tester Click here.

      ABS/VSC/TRC
      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      RR Wheel Speed RR wheel speed sensor reading / min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), max.: 326.4 km/h (202 mph)

      When vehicle is stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph)

      When vehicle is being driven at a constant speed: No major fluctuation

      		 Similar speed as indicated on speedometer
      RL Wheel Speed RL wheel speed sensor reading / min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), max.: 326.4 km/h (202 mph)

      When vehicle is stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph)

      When vehicle is being driven at a constant speed: No major fluctuation

      		 Similar speed as indicated on speedometer

    5. 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 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 similar speed as indicated on the speedometer.

  6. RECONFIRM DTC


    1. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    2. Start the engine.

    3. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) or more for at least 60 seconds.

    4. Check if the same DTC is recorded Click here.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      DTCs (C1403 and C1404) are not output A
      DTCs (C1403 and/or C1404) are output B

      Note
