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); DTC C1464/31: Front Speed Sensor RH Circuit; DTC C1465/32: Front Speed Sensor LH Circuit: Description

The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU. These signals are used for ABS control.

DTCs C1271/71 and C1272/72 can be cleared when the speed sensor sends a wheel speed signal or when Test Mode ends. DTCs C1271/71 and C1272/72 are output only in Test Mode.
