Speed Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the ap-
propriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used for control
of both the ABS and TRAC control systems. The front and rear
rotors each have 48 serrations. When the rotors rotate, the
magnetic field emitted by the permanent magnet in the speed
sensor generates an AC voltage. Since the frequency of this
AC voltage changes in proportion to the speed of the rotors
(wheels) the frequency is used by the ECU to detect the speed
of each wheel.

Detection of any of conditions (1) through (3):
(1) At vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more,
pulses are not input for 5 sec.
(2) Momentary interruption of the vehicle speed sen-
sor signal occurs at least 7 times in the time between
switching the ignition switch ON and switching it OFF.
(3) Abnormal fluctuation of speed sensor signals with
the vehicle speed 20 km/h (12 mph) or more.

HINT: DTC No. 31 is for the right front wheel speed sensor.
DTC No. 32 is for the left front wheel speed sensor.
DTC No. 33 is for the right rear wheel speed sensor.
DTC No. 34 is for the left rear wheel speed sensor.
Fail safe function: If trouble occurs in the speed sensor circuit, the ECU cuts off current to the ABS
solenoid relay and prohibits ABS control.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The pressure sensor detects the TRAC accumulator hydraulic pressure and if \
it is low, it sends signals to the
ECU to operate the pump. If the pressure is high, it sends signals to th\
