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 the DTC.

  2. READ VALUE USING GTS (REAR SPEED SENSOR)


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Start the engine.

    4. Turn the GTS on.

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

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

      Vehicle stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph)

      When driving at constant speed:

      No large fluctuations

      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

    7. 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.

      Tech Tips

      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).

      Note

      Check the speed sensor signal after replacement.

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY - REAR SPEED SENSOR)


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connectors.

    3. Disconnect the A4 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector and the O3 and/or O4 rear speed sensor connector.

    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      for RH
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A4-16 (RR+) - O3-2 (RR+) Always Below 1 Ω
      A4-15 (RR-) - O3-1 (RR-) Always Below 1 Ω
      A4-16 (RR+) or O3-2 (RR+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A4-15 (RR-) or O3-1 (RR-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      for LH
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A4-29 (RL+) - O4-2 (RL+) Always Below 1 Ω
      A4-28 (RL-) - O4-1 (RL-) Always Below 1 Ω
      A4-29 (RL+) or O4-2 (RL+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
