VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1271,C1272,C1401 and C1402

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 ABS 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).

Tip:

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	Speed Sensor Rotor
*a	Waveform (Reference): Between Speed Sensor (-) and Body Ground	*b	Low speed
*c	High speed	-	-

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area

C1401	Front Speed Sensor RH Malfunction	Any of the following is detected: At a vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, output voltage from one of the speed sensors is less than that from the other sensors for 15 seconds or more (for 2WD) or 30 seconds or more (for 4WD/AWD). At a vehicle speed less than 10 km/h (6 mph), output from one of the speed sensors is 0 km/h (0 mph) for 1 second or more. At a vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, outputs from both front speed sensors are 0 km/h (0 mph) for 15 seconds or more (for 2WD) or 30 seconds or more (for 4WD/AWD). (except both rear speed sensors are 0 km/h (0 mph))	Front speed sensor RH Front speed sensor rotor RH (Front axle hub sub-assembly RH) Sensor installation
C1402	Front Speed Sensor LH Malfunction	Any of the following is detected: At a vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, output voltage from one of the speed sensors is less than that from the other sensors for 15 seconds or more (for 2WD) or 30 seconds or more (for 4WD/AWD). At a vehicle speed less than 10 km/h (6 mph), output from one of the speed sensors is 0 km/h (0 mph) for 1 second or more.

Tip:

• DTC C1401 and C1271 are for the front speed sensor RH.

• DTC C1402 and C1272 are for the front speed sensor LH.

WIRING DIAGRAM

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK FRONT SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION

   1. Turn the ignition switch off.

   2. 

      *a	Normal
      *b	Abnormal
      *c	Clearance

      Check the speed sensor installation.

      Click here

      OK

      There is no clearance between the sensor and the front steering knuckle.

      The installation bolt is tightened properly.

2. INSPECT FRONT SPEED SENSOR TIP

   1. Remove the front speed sensor.

      Click here

   2. Check the speed sensor tip.

      OK

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

      Note:

      • 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.

3. INSPECT FRONT SPEED SENSOR ROTOR

   1. Remove the front axle hub sub-assembly.

      Click here

   2. Check the speed sensor rotor.

      OK

      No scratches, oil, or foreign matter on the rotors.

      Note:

      Check the speed sensor signal after cleaning or replacement.

      Click here

      Tip:

      • The front speed sensor rotor is incorporated into the front axle hub sub-assembly.

      • If the speed sensor rotor needs to be replaced, replace it together with the front axle hub sub-assembly.

   3. Reinstall the front speed sensor and the front axle hub assembly.

4. READ VALUE USING GTS (FRONT SPEED SENSOR)

   1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

   2. Start the engine.

   3. Turn the GTS on.

   4. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Data List.

   5. According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRC > 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

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRC > Data List

      Tester Display
      FR Wheel Speed
      FL Wheel Speed

   6. 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.

      Tip:

      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.

      Click here

      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).

      Tip:

      If troubleshooting has been carried out according to the Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step.
