VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1271, C1272, C1275, C1276, C1413, C1414

DTC Code DTC Name
C1271 Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor RH (Test Mode DTC)
C1272 Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor LH (Test Mode DTC)
C1275 Abnormal Change in Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor RH (Test Mode DTC)
C1276 Abnormal Change in Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor LH (Test Mode DTC)
C1413 Front Speed Sensor RH Output Malfunction
C1414 Front Speed Sensor LH Output Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

Each speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends signals to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). These signals are used by the ABS control system.

The speed sensor rotors have 48 serrations. Hall IC type speed sensors use the frequency of output pulses to detect the vehicle speed. Because the sensor outputs digital pulses, it can detect the vehicle speed even when the vehicle is nearly stationary.

DTCs C1271, C1272, C1275 and C1276 are cleared when the speed sensor sends a vehicle speed signal or when Test Mode ends. DTCs C1271, C1272, C1275 and C1276 are output only in Test Mode.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform zero point calibration Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION)


    1. Using the GTS, check for any momentary interruption in the wire harness and connector corresponding to a DTC Click here.

      ABS/VSC/TRC
      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      FR Speed Open Front speed sensor RH open detection / Error or Normal

      Error: Momentary interruption

      Normal: Normal

      -
      FL Speed Open Front speed sensor LH open detection / Error or Normal

      Error: Momentary interruption

      Normal: Normal

      -
      OK
      There are no momentary interruptions.

      Tech Tips

      Perform the above inspection before removing the sensor and connector.

    OK
  2. READ VALUE USING GTS (FRONT SPEED SENSOR)


    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Start the engine.

    4. Select the Data List using the GTS Click here.

      ABS/VSC/TRC
      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 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 km/h (202 mph) Vehicle stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph) When driving at constant speed: No large fluctuations
    5. Check the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the GTS.

      Tech Tips

      Factors that affect the indicated vehicle speed include tire size, tire pressure, 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 similar to the speed indicated on the speedometer.

    NG
    OK
  3. RECONFIRM DTC


    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    3. Turn the engine switch off.

    4. Start the engine.

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

    6. Check if the same DTC is output Click here.

  4. CHECK FRONT SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION


    1. A01G9N5E26

      Check the speed sensor installation.

      OK
      There is no clearance between the sensor and the front steering knuckle.
      The installation bolt is tightened properly.

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

      Note


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

        If there are any ferrous metal filings stuck to the rotor, this will result in a malfunction, so confirm that the rotor is not contaminated with foreign matter before replacing the sensor.
