LEFT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT ÐContinued

Symptom List:
LEFT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL
LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL
RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL
RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL ERROR
Test Note: All symptoms listed above are diagnosed using the same tests.
The title for the tests will be LEFT FRONT WHEEL SPEED
SENSOR SIGNAL.
When Monitored and Set Condition:
LEFT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL
When Monitored: Ignition On - Continuously
Set Condition: When the value of the wheel speed sensor signal is missing at vehicle
speeds over 40 km/h (25 mph) OR during a start-up test with vehicle speeds over 12km/h
(8 mph) OR the vehicle is accelerated by 18 km/h (12 mph) after a wheel speed sensor
signal has been lost.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
INTERMITTENT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL DTC
DAMAGED SENSOR/CAB HARNESS CONNECTOR
DAMAGED WHEEL SPEED SENSOR TONE WHEEL
EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AIR GAP
DAMAGED WHEEL BEARING
DAMAGED BRAKE LININGS/COMPONENTS
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILURE
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE CONTROLLER
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1NOTE: Refer to the symptom list and repair any WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
CIRCUIT DTCs before continuing.
Turn the ignition on.
With the DRBIIItin Sensors, monitor ALL the Wheel Speed Sensor signals while an
assistant drives the vehicle.
Slowly accelerate from a stop to 65 km/h (40 mph).
NOTE: Wheel Speed should not vary by more than 10% from wheel to wheel
when driving in a straight line.
Do any of the Wheel Speed Sensor signals vary by greater than 10% while driving in
a straight line?All

Symptom:
STEERING ANGLE SENSOR GREATER THAN 720 DEGREES
POSSIBLE CAUSES
STEERING ANGLE SENSOR INTERMITTENT DTC
STEERING COMPONENT INSPECTION
STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1NOTE: If a system undervoltage or overvoltage DTC is set along with this
DTC, diagnose the system voltage DTC first.
NOTE: Electromagnetic (radio) interference can cause an intermittent
system malfunction by interrupting communication between the sensor
and the CAB.
NOTE: The Steering Angle Sensor is very sensitive to changes due to
alignment problems. The sensor must be recalculated using the DRBIIItif
alignment has been changed by more than 5 degrees.
Turn the ignition on.
With the DRBIIIt, erase DTCs.
Move the Steering Wheel from stop to stop several times.
With the DRBIIIt, read DTCs.
Does this DTC reset?All

No!Go To 3
2NOTE: When the vehicle is in a turn, the ESP compares the Steering Angle
Sensor value and the speed of the inner and outer wheels to determine if the
values are plausible.
Inspect the front end and steering components for damage or misalignment.
Inspect the steering column and Steering Angle Sensor for correct mounting and
installation.
Inspect the tires and wheels to make sure that they are the correct size. All tires must
be the same size.
Were any problems found?All
Ye s!Repair or replace components as necessary in accordance with the
Service Information.
No!Replace the Steering Angle Sensor in accordance with the Service
Information.
