the following diagnosis codes are displayed “11 FR SNSR. OPEN”
“12 FL SNSR. OPEN” “13 RR SNSR. OPEN” “14 RL SNSR. OPEN”
[Explanation]
The ABS ECU detects breaks in the wheel speed
sensor wire. This trouble code is output if the wheel
speed sensor signal is not input (or short circuited)
or if its output is low when starting to drive or while
driving.[Hint]
In addition to a broken wire/short circuit in the wheel
speed sensor, also check whether the sensor gap is
too large, sensor harness wire is broken, or sensor
harness and body connector are not properly
con-
netted.
r--~- -E-2 When dlagnosls code“15 VEH. SPD. SNSR.” is displayedI[Explanation]
This trouble code is output when there is an
abnormality (other than broken wire or short circuit)
in any of the wheel speed sensor output signals
while driving.
[Hint]
The following can be considered as the cause of the
wheel speed sensor output abnormality.
l Distortion of rotor, teeth missing
lLow frequency noise interference when sensor
harness wire is broken
l Noise interference in sensor signal
lSensor output signal is below the standard value
or amplitude modulation is over the standard
value. Using an oscilloscope to measure the
wave shape of the wheel speed sensor output
signal is very effective.l Broken sensor harness
l Poor connection of connector
NOTE(1) If contact is poor, check the sensor cable by
bending and lightly stretching it.
(2) Except for the case where a fault condition
exists in the system, but the inspection results
are normal; if an abnormality cannot be found in
the sensor circuit displayed as abnormal, erase
the diagnosis code and turn the ignition switch
to OFF once, and then test-drive again.
If the same trouble code is output, replace the
ABS ECU. If the trouble does not occur
any-more, the problem is likely to be with the ABS
ECU.(If the trouble is in the speed sensor circuit, but
is difficult to recreate, it will recur even after the
ABS ECU has been replaced.)

1. Lift up the vehicle and release the parking brake.
2.Disconnect the ECU harness connector and measure with
the adapter harness (MB991 356) connected to the harness
side connector.
Caution
1. Never insert a probe, etc. into the connector as it
may result in poor contact later.
2.Do not connect the connector (Special Tool) markedwith “r+”except when recording the waveform on a

112 to 1
turn/second, measure the output voltage with a circuit
tester or oscilloscope.
Output voltage:
When measured with circuit tester: 70
mV or more
When measured with oscilloscope (max. voltage): 100
mV or more
Probable causes of low output voltage
l Speed sensor pole piece-to-rotor clearance too large
l Faulty speed sensor
4. Then, in order to observe the output state of the wheel
speed sensors, shift into low gear
(AWD vehicle) and drive
the wheels, observe the output voltage waveform of each
wheel speed sensor with an oscilloscope.
In the case of the FWD vehicle, observe the waveform with
an oscilloscope; for the front wheels, shift into low gear and
drive the wheels; for the rear wheels, turn the wheels
manually at a constant speed.
NOTE
1.Waveform may also be observed by actually driving the
vehicle.
2.The output voltage is low when the wheel speed is low
and increases as the wheel speed increases.

NOTEThe wheel speed sensor cable moves following motion of the front or rear suspension. Therefore, it is likely that it has an
open circuit only when driving on rough roads and it functions normally on ordinary roads. It is, therefore, recommended
to observe sensor output voltage waveform also under special conditions, such as rough road driving,

INSPECTION OF HYDRAULIC UNITINSPECTION BY FEEL
(I) Jack up the vehicle and support the vehicle with rigid racks
placed at the specified jack-up points.
(2) Release the parking brake and determine the drag force
(drag torque) of each wheel by feel.
LJ(3) Set the MUT through the adapter harness (MB991377) as
illustrated.
(4) After confirming that the shift lever or selector lever is in
the neutral position, start the engine.
The ABS warning light lights up, it goes into the MUT mode.
In the MUT mode, ABS does not function.
(5) Operate the MUT to force the actuator to operate (item No.
04, 05, 06).
(6) Turning the wheel manually, check the change of the
braking force when the brake pedal is depressed.
The change should be as shown in the following illustration.
NOTEWhile the ABS is in the fail safe mode, the MUT actuator
test cannot be made.
