VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1237,C1275,C1276,C1277 and 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 (brake actuator assembly) measures the speed of each wheel by receiving signals from each speed sensor.

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

Therefore, signals from all wheels 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.

PROCEDURE

  1. CHECK TIRES

    1. Check the size and condition of all four tires.

      Click here

      Tip:

      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.

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

      Tip:

      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 hereClick here

      OK

      The speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the GTS is similar to the speed indicated on the speedometer.
