Rear Axle Sensor.

  1. Connect DVOM across terminals No. 7 and 9 of ECU connector. Resistance should fluctuate between 600-1600 ohms as rear wheels rotate.
  2. If resistance is not within specification, check resistance of sensor at sensor connector located at fuel filler pipe in trunk. If resistance is now within specification, repair wiring harness to ECU. If resistance is still incorrect, replace sensor. See Fig 1
