If the brake warning light turns on, check that the parking brake pedal is released, the brake fluid level is
normal, and no malfunction is identified in the fluid level warning switch system.
If there is a problem with VSC, the brake warning light comes on. The possible causes of a problem are as
follows:

2 or more wheel speed sensor failures

Low/high voltage

Valve failure

C0200 / 31 ± C0215 / 34Speed 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 control system. The front and rear rotors have 48
serrations each.
When the rotors rotate, the magnetic field emitted by the perma-
nent magnet in the speed sensor generates 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 is detected:
1. During driving, speed sensor signals are not input for a
fixed time.
2. Momentary interruption in speed sensor signals occurs
many times during driving.
3. Abnormal signal occurs in pulse signal from speed sen-
sor during driving.
4. Speed sensor signal circuit continues to be open for a
fixed time.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Start the inspection from step 1 when using the hand±held tester and start from step 2 when not using the
hand±held tester.
1 Check output value of speed sensor.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and push the hand±held tester main switch ON.
(c) Select DATA LIST mode on the hand±held tester.
CHECK:
Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed by the
hand±held tester and the speed value displayed by the speedometer when driving the vehicle.

2 Check speed sensor.
Front:
PREPARATION:
(a) Make sure that there is no looseness at the connector
lock part and connecting part of the connector.
(b) Disconnect the speed sensor connector.
CHECK:
Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the speed
sensor connector.
OK:
Resistance: 0.92 to 1.22 kW
CHECK:
Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the speed
sensor connector and body ground.
OK:
Resistance: 1 MW or higher
Rear:
PREPARATION:
(a) Make sure that there is no looseness at the connector
lock part and connecting part of the connector.
(b) Disconnect the speed sensor connector.

ing knuckle or the rear axle carrier.

5 Check speed sensor and sensor rotor serrations.
INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE
PREPARATION:
Connect the oscilloscope to the terminal FR+ ± FR±, FL+ ± FL±,
RR+ ± RR± and RL+ ± RL± of the skid control ECU.
CHECK:
Drive the vehicle at about 12 mph (20 km/h), and check the sig-
nal waveform.
OK:
A waveform as shown in the figure should be output.
HINT:

As the vehicle speed (wheel revolution speed) increases,
a cycle of the waveform becomes shorter and the fluctua-
tion in the output voltage becomes greater.

When noise is identified in the waveform on the oscillo-
scope, error signals are generated due to the speed sen-
sor rotor's scratches, looseness or foreign matter depos-
ited on it.
OK Replace skid control ECU
(See page BR±52).
NOTICE:
When replacing the skid control ECU, perform the zero
point calibration (See page DI±897).

Front:
PREPARATION:
Remove the disc (See page SA±22).
CHECK:

CHECK:
Check the sensor tip.
