6. Speed Sensor Check

   Note

   
   

   • Before performing the speed sensor signal check, complete the master cylinder pressure sensor check.

   • The signal check may not be completed if the wheels of the vehicle spin or the steering wheel is turned during this check.

   
   

   1. Drive the vehicle straight forward at a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) or more for several seconds (forward signal check).

   2. Check that the ABS warning light goes off.

   3. Drive the vehicle in reverse for more than 1 second at 3 km/h (2 mph) or more (reverse signal check).

   4. Check that the ABS warning light goes off.

      Tech Tips

      Drive the vehicle in reverse and check the speed sensor signal. Note that the signal check cannot be completed if the vehicle speed is 45 km/h (28 mph) or more.

      Note

      
      

      • The sensor check may not be completed if wheelspin occurs.

      • The ABS warning light blinks when the sensor check is completed and the brake pedal is depressed.

      • The ABS warning light comes on immediately after a malfunction has been detected during the speed sensor check.
