DTCs (VSA)

  1. Problem verification:

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, then start the engine.

    - 4. Test-drive the vehicle for 80 seconds or more.

    NOTE:  Drive the vehicle on the road, not on a lift.

    - 5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    C0031-3A Wheel Speed Sensor (Left Front) Signal Failure (Signal Frequency is Too High)    
    C0034-3A Wheel Speed Sensor (Right Front) Signal Failure (Signal Frequency is Too High)    
    C0037-3A Wheel Speed Sensor (Left Rear) Signal Failure (Signal Frequency is Too High)    
    C003A-3A Wheel Speed Sensor (Right Rear) Signal Failure (Signal Frequency is Too High)    

    Is DTC C0031-3A, C0034-3A, C0037-3A, or C003A-3A indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Refer to intermittent failures troubleshooting . If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the Freeze data/on-board snapshot.

  2. Wheel speed sensor installation check:

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Check that the appropriate wheel speed sensor is properly mounted .

    DTC Appropriate Wheel Speed Sensor
    C0031-3A Left-front
    C0034-3A Right-front
    C0037-3A Left-rear
    C003A-3A Right-rear

    Is the wheel speed sensor installation OK?

    YES 

    Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Reinstall the wheel speed sensor , and recheck its mounting position, then go to step 1.

  3. Wheel speed sensor check (substitution):

    - 1. Substitute a known-good wheel speed sensor .

    DTC Appropriate Wheel Speed Sensor
    C0031-3A Left-front
    C0034-3A Right-front
    C0037-3A Left-rear
    C003A-3A Right-rear

    - 2. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 3. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    Clear DTCs

    - 4. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, then start the engine.

    - 5. Test-drive the vehicle for 80 seconds or more.

    NOTE:  Drive the vehicle on the road, not on a lift.

    - 6. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    C0034-3A Wheel Speed Sensor (Right Front) Signal Failure (Signal Frequency is Too High)    
    C0037-3A Wheel Speed Sensor (Left Rear) Signal Failure (Signal Frequency is Too High)    
    C003A-3A Wheel Speed Sensor (Right Rear) Signal Failure (Signal Frequency is Too High)    

    Is DTC C0031-3A, C0034-3A, C0037-3A, or C003A-3A indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Replace the original wheel speed sensor .

  4. Magnetic encoder check:

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Inspect the appropriate magnetic encoder for damage, debris, and correct installation.

    DTC Appropriate Magnetic Encoder Note
    C0031-3A Left-front Remove the driveshaft outboard joint from the appropriate wheel hub .
    C0034-3A Right-front
    DTC Appropriate Magnetic Encoder Note
    C0037-3A Left-rear Remove the hub bearing unit .
    C003A-3A Right-rear

    Is the magnetic encoder surface OK?

    YES 

    Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Clean the debris from the appropriate magnetic encoder surface on the wheel bearing or the hub bearing unit. If the debris cannot be removed or the encoder is damaged, replace the appropriate wheel bearing or the hub bearing unit . Then recheck for DTCs. If the DTC is still present go to step 5.

  5. VSA modulator-control unit check (update):

    - 1. Update the VSA modulator-control unit if it does not have the latest software .

    - 2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, then start the engine.
