DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). These signals are used for brake control.
Speed sensor rotors have rows of alternating N and S magnetic poles, and their magnetic fields change when the rotors turn.
Each speed sensor detects that magnetic change and sends a pulse signal to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).
Tech Tips
When the connectors between the speed sensor and skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) are connected, the following waveform is output.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1403 | Rear Speed Sensor RH Malfunction | Either of the following is detected:
|
|

| C1404 | Rear Speed Sensor LH Malfunction | Either of the following is detected:

WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Disassembly of the speed sensor from the rear axle hub and bearing assembly is prohibited.
PROCEDURE
CHECK REAR SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION
| *1 | Rear Speed Sensor |
| *a | Correct |
| *b | Incorrect |
| *c | No clearance |
Check the speed sensor installation.
| OK |
|---|
| There is no clearance between the sensor and the rear axle hub. |
Tech Tips
Because the rear axle hub and bearing assembly cannot be disassembled, if the rear speed sensor needs replacement, replace the rear axle hub and bearing assembly.

READ VALUE USING GTS (REAR SPEED SENSOR)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Start the engine.
Turn the GTS on.
Select the Data List using the GTS.
| 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 |
| Tester Display |
|---|
| RR Wheel Speed |
| RL Wheel Speed |
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.
| 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). |
Tech Tips
The rear speed sensor and rear speed sensor rotor are 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 with rear speed sensor.
If troubleshooting has been carried out according to the Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step.
