  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION) 
    1. Using the Techstream, check for any momentary interruptions in the wire harness and connector corresponding to a DTC. Refer to CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS [03/2012 - ] .
      ABS/VSC/TRAC

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      RR Speed Open Rear speed sensor RH open detection / Error or Normal Error: Momentary interruption
      Normal: Normal
      -
      RL Speed Open Rear speed sensor LH open detection / Error or Normal Error: Momentary interruption
      Normal: Normal
      -

      OK

      There are no momentary interruptions.

      HINT: 

      Perform the above inspection before removing the sensor and connector.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (REAR SPEED SENSOR) 
    1. Select the Data List on the Techstream. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [03/2012 - ] .
      ABS/VSC/TRAC

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      RR Wheel Speed Rear wheel speed sensor RH / Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Vehicle stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph) When driving at constant speed: No large fluctuations
      RL Wheel Speed Rear wheel speed sensor LH / Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Vehicle stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph) When driving at constant speed: No large fluctuations
    2. Check the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream.

      HINT: 

      Factors that affect the indicated vehicle speed include tire size, tire inflation, and tire wear. The speed indicated on the speedometer has an allowable margin of error. This can be tested using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer). For details about testing and the margin of error, see the reference chart. Refer to OPERATION CHECK [03/2012 - ] .

      OK

      The speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream is similar to the speed indicated on the speedometer.

    NG → See step   5 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. PERFORM TEST MODE INSPECTION (SIGNAL CHECK) 
    1. Turn the power switch off.
    2. Perform the sensor check in the Test Mode procedure. Refer to TEST MODE PROCEDURE [03/2012 - ] .

      OK

      All Test Mode DTCs are cleared.

    NG → See step   5 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Turn the power switch off.
    2. Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [03/2012 - ] .
    3. Turn the power switch on (READY).
    4. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more for at least 60 seconds.
    5. Check if the same DTC is output. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [03/2012 - ] .
