| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| C1401 | Front Speed Sensor RH Malfunction |
| C1402 | Front Speed Sensor LH Malfunction |
DESCRIPTION
| *1 | Speed Sensor | *2 | Skid Control Rotor |
| *a | Waveform (Reference): Between Speed Sensor (-) and Body Ground |
*b | Low speed |
| *c | High speed | - | - |
for 4WD and Pre-Runner:
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.
Skid control 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).
When the connectors between the speed sensor and skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) are connected, the following waveform is output.
| *1 | Speed Sensor | *2 | Skid Control Rotor |
| *a | Waveform (Reference): Between Speed Sensor (-) and Body Ground |
*b | Low speed |
| *c | High speed | - | - |
for 2WD other than Pre-Runner:
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.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1401 | Front Speed Sensor RH Malfunction | Either of the following is detected:
|
|
| C1402 | Front Speed Sensor LH Malfunction | Either of the following is detected:
|
|
*1: for 4WD and Pre-Runner
*2: for 2WD other than Pre-Runner
PROCEDURE
CHECK FRONT SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION
Turn the ignition switch off.
| *a | Normal |
| *b | Abnormal |
| *c | Clearance |
Check the speed sensor installation.

INSPECT FRONT SPEED SENSOR TIP
Remove the front speed sensor.
for 2WD other than Pre-Runner:Click here
for 4WD and Pre-Runner:Click here
Check the speed sensor tip.
| OK |
|---|
| No scratches, oil, or foreign matter on the sensor tip. |
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.

CLEAN OR REPLACE FRONT SPEED SENSOR
INSPECT FRONT AXLE HUB INNER BEARING
Remove the front axle hub inner bearing.
Check the front skid control rotor.
| OK |
|---|
| No scratches, oil, or foreign matter on the rotors. |
The front skid control rotor is incorporated into the front axle hub inner bearing.
If the skid control rotor needs to be replaced, replace it together with the front axle hub inner bearing.
Reinstall the front speed sensor and the front axle hub inner bearing.

INSPECT FRONT SKID CONTROL ROTOR
Remove the front skid control rotor.
Check the front skid control rotor.
| OK |
|---|
| No scratches, oil, or foreign matter on the rotors. |

READ VALUE USING GTS (FRONT SPEED SENSOR)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Start the engine.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Data List.
According to the display on the GTS, 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.: 326.4 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.: 326.4 km/h (202 mph) |
Vehicle stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph) | When driving at constant speed: No large fluctuations |
| Tester Display |
|---|
| FR Wheel Speed |
| FL 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.
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). |
If troubleshooting has been carried out according to the Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step.

RECONFIRM DTC
Clear the DTCs.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Start the engine.
Drive the vehicle at a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) or more for at least 60 seconds.
Check if the same DTC is recorded.
