• Ignition off
• Check the connectors on the brake control module (BCM) and the wheel sensor. Check for contact resistance. Check for oxidation
• Reinstall the components, connectors, etc.
• Raise the car so that the relevant wheel is clear of the ground
• Ignition on
• Read off the wheel speed for the relevant wheel.

  Spin the relevant wheel and check that the wheel speed is updated.

  If the wheel speed is updated, the cause of the fault was loose connections in the connectors on the brake control module (BCM) or the wheel sensor.

  NOTE: The speed signal will only be active for approximately 20 seconds. Activate the function again if necessary.
