DTC C0200/31: Front Speed Sensor RH Circuit; DTC C0205/32: Front Speed Sensor LH Circuit; DTC C1271/71: Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor RH (Test Mode DTC); DTC C1272/72: Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor LH (Test Mode DTC): Procedure

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

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      FR Speed Open FR speed sensor open detection / ERROR or NORMAL ERROR: Momentary interruption
      NORMAL: Normal
      -
      FL Speed Open FL speed sensor 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 → See step   5 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FRONT SPEED SENSOR) 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Start the engine.
    4. Select the Data List mode on the Techstream. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST .
      ABS/VSC/TRAC:

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      FR Wheel Speed FR wheel speed sensor reading / Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Actual wheel speed Similar speed as indicated on speedometer
      FL Wheel Speed FL wheel speed sensor reading /Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Actual wheel speed Similar speed as indicated on speedometer
    5. Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream and the speed value displayed on the speedometer when driving the vehicle.

      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 ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION .

      OK

      The speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream is the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer).

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. PERFORM TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) 
    1. Perform sensor check in Test Mode procedure. Refer to TEST MODE PROCEDURE .

      OK
