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 (brake actuator assembly). These signals are used for brake control.

The speed sensor generates vehicle speed pulses based on the rotation of the skid control rotor. The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) detects the speed of each wheel using this vehicle speed pulse.

Tech Tips

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

C1403

C1404

Either of the following is detected:


  1. At a vehicle speed of 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 speed sensors are 0 km/h (0 mph) for 15 seconds or more. (except both rear speed sensors are 0 km/h (0 mph))

  • Rear speed sensor RH/LH

  • Sensor installation

  • Rear skid control rotor RH/LH

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. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. A003FYBE13

      *a Normal
      *b Abnormal
      *c Clearance

      Check the speed sensor installation Click here.

      OK
      There is no clearance between the sensor and the rear axle housing.
      The installation bolt is tightened properly.

    NG

    INSTALL REAR SPEED SENSOR CORRECTLY Click here

    OK

  2. INSPECT 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


      • If no damage to the speed sensor tip is found during this inspection, do not replace the speed sensor.

      • If there is iron powder sticking to the rotor, this will result in a malfunction, so confirm that the rotor is not contaminated with foreign material before replacing the sensor.

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


    NG

    CLEAN OR REPLACE REAR SPEED SENSOR

    OK

  3. INSPECT REAR SKID CONTROL ROTOR


    1. Remove the rear axle shaft with backing plate Click here.

    2. Check the rear skid control rotor.

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

      Note

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

    3. Reinstall the rear speed sensor and the rear axle shaft with backing plate Click here for speed sensor, Click here for rear axle shaft with backing plate).


    NG

    CLEAN OR REPLACE REAR SKID CONTROL ROTOR

    OK

  4. READ VALUE USING GTS (REAR SPEED SENSOR)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Start the engine.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Data List.

    5. According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.

      ABS/VSC/TRC
      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      RR Wheel Speed Rear 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
      RL Wheel Speed Rear 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

    6. Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the GTS and the speed value displayed on the speedometer 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 GTS is the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer).
