2. Drive the vehicle straight forward.
Drive the vehicle at a speed of 28 to 50 mph (45 to 80 km/h) or higher for several seconds and
check that the ABS warning light goes off.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used to
control the ABS control system. The front and rear rotors have 48 serrations respectively.
When the rotors rotate, the magnetic field emitted by the 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
frequenc
y is used by the ECU to detect the speed of each wheel.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION)
a. Using the hand-held tester, check for any momentary interruption in the wire harness and connector
corresponding to a DTC (see CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
).

OK: Go to next step
There are no momentary interruption.
HINT:
Perform the above inspection before removing the sensor and connector.
NG: Go to step 5

2.READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER (REAR SPEED SENSOR)
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Start the engine.
c. Select the DATA LIST mode on the hand-held tester.
MEASUREMENT ITEM / RANGE (DISPLAY) DESCRIPTION
d. 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 on the speedometer when driving the vehicle.
OK: Go to next step
There is almost no difference in the displayed speed value.
HINT:
There is tolerance of 10 % in the speedometer indication.

)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
If trouble occurs in the engine control system, the ECM transmits the abnormality to the skid control ECU. The
skid control ECU sets this DTC and the skid control ECU prohibits TRAC and VSC control.

Refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.
DTC of Air Suspension System test mode function:
If a malfunction code is displayed during the test mode DTC check, check the circuit listed
for that code. For details of each code, refer to "See Procedure" under the respective "DTC
No." in the chart.

8. After completing the test mode, disconnect the tester and turn the ignition switch off.
If a normal system code is displayed during the DTC check but the problem still occurs, check the circuits for
each problem s
ymptom in the order given in the table below and proceed to the relevant troubleshooting page.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The acceleration sensors (assy) detect up-and-down acceleration of the vehicle. The acceleration sensors (assy)
3 in total are mounted in the absorber control ECU, at the forward of the glove compartment door at the
instrument panel safety pad position and in the rear luggage, and detect up-and down acceleration of the
vehicle, respectively. The acceleration sensors (assy) convert the resistance into electrical signals and output to
the absorber control ECU.

HINT:
DTCs C1715 and C1791 are for the right front acceleration sensor assy.
DTCs C1716 and C1792 are for the left front acceleration sensor (left front acceleration sensor is a built-

DTCs C1717 and C1793 are for the rear acceleration sensor.
DTCs C1791, C1792 and C1793 are output only in the test mode.
