DTC 31, 32, 33, 34 Speed Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor detects 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 rotors 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 rotors, 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 oc-
curs 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
Right front, left front, right rear or left rear speed sensor
Open or short in each speed sensor circuit
ECU
HINT:
DTC 31 is for the right front speed sensor.
DTC 32 is for the left front speed sensor.
DTC 33 is for the right rear speed sensor.
DTC 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.

REMOVAL
NOTICE:
The hub bearing could be damaged if it is subjected
to the vehicle weight, such as when moving the ve-
hicle with the drive shaft removed. Therefore, if it is
absolutely necessary to place the vehicle weight on
the hub bearing, first support it with SST.
SST 09608-16042 (09608-02021, 09608-02041)
w/ ABS:
After disconnecting the drive shaft from the axle hub,
work carefully so as not to damage the sensor rotor
serrations on the drive shaft.
1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
Torque: 103 N´m (1,050 kgf´cm, 76 ft´lbf)
2. M/T:
REMOVE LH ENGINE UNDER COVER
3. DRAIN TRANSAXLE OIL (M/T) OR ATF (A/T)
4. w/ ABS:
REMOVE BOLT AND ABS SPEED SENSOR
Torque: 7.8 N´m (80 kgf´cm, 69 in.´lbf)
5. REMOVE DRIVE SHAFT LOCK NUT
(a) Remove the cotter pin and lock cap.
(b) While applying the brakes, remove the nut.
Torque: 216 N´m (2,200 kgf´cm, 159 ft´lbf)
6. DISCONNECT TIE ROD END FROM STEERING
