DTC 31 - 36, 38, 39 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. Each of the front and rear rotors has 48 serra-
tions.
When the rotors rotate, a magnetic field emitted by a permanent
magnet in the speed sensor generates an AC voltage. Since
the frequency of this AC voltage changes in direct proportion to
the speed of the rotor, the frequency is used by the ECU to de-
tect the speed of each wheel.

When any of the following 1. through 3. is detected:
1. Vehicle speed is more than 40 km/h (25 mph), and
pulses are not input for 0.01 sec.
2. After the initial start or restart and when the vehicle
speed has reached 12 km/h (7 mph), the wheel speed of
0 km/h (0 mph) is detected.
3. After the initial start or restart and when the vehicle
speed has reached 18 km/h (11 mph), the front wheel
speed of 0 km/h (0 mph) is detected.

2 Check for open and short circuit in harness and connector between each speed
sensor and ABS ECU (See page IN-30).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK
3 Check speed sensor installation.
CHECK:
Check the speed sensor installation.
OK:
The installation bolt shall be tightened properly and
there is no clearance is allowed between the sensor
and front steering knuckle or rear axle carrier.

4 Check speed sensor and sensor rotor serrations.
REFERENCE: INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the connector from the brake actuator.
(b) Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals FR+, FL+, RR+
or RL+ and GND of the ABS ECU harness side connector.
CHECK:
Drive the vehicle at about 30 km/h (19 mph), and check the sig-
nal waveform.
OK Check and replace ABS ECU.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
HINT:
Using SST 09843-18020, connect the terminals Tc and E1.
If any abnormality is found when inspecting parts, inspect the ECU.
If a malfunction code is displayed during the DTC check, check the circuit listed under the code. For
details of each code, refer to the page under respective ºDTC No.º in the DTC chart.
