DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
If a malfunction code is displayed during the DTC check, check the circuit listed for that code. For details
of each code, turn to the page referred to under the ”See page” for the respective ”DTC No.” in the DTC chart.
HINT:
Using SST 09843−18020, connect the terminals Tc and E1, and remove the short pin.
If any abnormality is not found when inspect each inspection parts, inspect the ECU.

DTC 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 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 to control
the ABS system. The front and rear rotors each have 48 serra-
tions.
When the rotor rotate, the magnetic field emitted by the perma-
nent magnet in the speed sensor generates an AC voltage.
Since the frequency of this AC voltage changes in direct propor-
tion to the speed of the rotor, the frequency is used by the ECU
to detect the speed of each wheel.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
31, 32, 33, 34
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 speed sensor 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 ve-
hicle speed 20 km/h (12 mph) or more

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