VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1237, C1275, C1276, C1277, C1278

DTC Code DTC Name
C1237 Speed Sensor Rotor Faulty
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)
C1277 Abnormal Change in Output Signal of Rear Speed Sensor RH (Test Mode DTC)
C1278 Abnormal Change in Output Signal of Rear Speed Sensor LH (Test Mode DTC)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU measures the speed of each wheel by receiving signals from the speed sensor.

These signals are used for recognizing that all four wheels are operating properly.

Therefore, all wheel signals must be equal.

DTCs C1275 to C1278 are cleared when the speed sensor sends a vehicle speed signal or when Test Mode ends. DTCs C1275 to C1278 are output only in Test Mode.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1237

Any of the following is detected:

  1. Discrepancy among four wheel speed sensor output.

  2. Abnormal pulse signals from 3 or more sensors.

  3. Continuous ABS control is performed for 60 seconds or more.

  4. VSC control is performed for 5 seconds or more.

  • Tire and wheel size

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

When C1330, C1331, C1332, C1333, C1464, C1465, C1466 and/or C1467 is output together with C1237, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by C1330, C1331, C1332, C1333, C1464, C1465, C1466 and/or C1467 first Click here for front, and/or Click here for rear).

PROCEDURE

  1. CHECK TIRES

    1. Check the size and condition of all four wheels Click here.

      Tech Tips

      The DTC is output when tire deformation or a difference in tire size is detected.

      OK
      The diameter of all four tires and the tire pressure are the same.
    NG

    REPLACE TIRES SO THAT ALL FOUR TIRES ARE THE SAME SIZE

    OK

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (SPEED SENSOR)

    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

    2. Start the engine.

    3. Select the Data List using the Techstream Click here.

      ABS/VSC/TRAC
      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
      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

    4. Check the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream.

      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 Techstream is similar to the speed indicated on the speedometer.
