the following diagnosis codes are displayed “11 FR SNSR. OPEN”
“12 FL SNSR. OPEN” “13 RR SNSR. OPEN” “14 RL SNSR. OPEN”
[Explanation]
The ABS ECU detects breaks in the wheel speed
sensor wire. This trouble code is output if the wheel
speed sensor signal is not input (or short circuited)
or if its output is low when starting to drive or while
driving.[Hint]
In addition to a broken wire/short circuit in the wheel
speed sensor, also check whether the sensor gap is
too large, sensor harness wire is broken, or sensor
harness and body connector are not properly
con-
netted.
r--~- -E-2 When dlagnosls code“15 VEH. SPD. SNSR.” is displayedI[Explanation]
This trouble code is output when there is an
abnormality (other than broken wire or short circuit)
in any of the wheel speed sensor output signals
while driving.
[Hint]
The following can be considered as the cause of the
wheel speed sensor output abnormality.
l Distortion of rotor, teeth missing
lLow frequency noise interference when sensor
harness wire is broken
l Noise interference in sensor signal
lSensor output signal is below the standard value
or amplitude modulation is over the standard
value. Using an oscilloscope to measure the
wave shape of the wheel speed sensor output
signal is very effective.l Broken sensor harness
l Poor connection of connector
NOTE(1) If contact is poor, check the sensor cable by
bending and lightly stretching it.
(2) Except for the case where a fault condition
exists in the system, but the inspection results
are normal; if an abnormality cannot be found in
the sensor circuit displayed as abnormal, erase
the diagnosis code and turn the ignition switch
to OFF once, and then test-drive again.
If the same trouble code is output, replace the
ABS ECU. If the trouble does not occur
any-more, the problem is likely to be with the ABS
ECU.(If the trouble is in the speed sensor circuit, but
is difficult to recreate, it will recur even after the
ABS ECU has been replaced.)

2.Move the float from top to bottom and check for continuity.
3. The brake fluid level sensor is in good condition if there is
‘k&Jno continuity when the float surface is above “A”, and if,there is continuity when the float surface is below “A”.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATING INSPECTION
M35FCAOFor simple checking of brake booster operation, carry out the
following tests.
1.Run the engine for one or two minutes, and then stop it.
2. Step on the brake pedal several times with normal
pressure.If the pedal depresses fully the first time but gradually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times, the
booster is operating properly.
If the pedal height remains unchanged, the booster is
faulty.
3. With the engine stopped, step on the brake pedal several
times with the same pressure to make sure that the pedal
height will not change.
Then step on the brake pedal and start the engine.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster is in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is faulty.
4.With the engine running, step on the brake pedal and then
stop the engine.
Hold the pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If the pedal
height does not change, the booster is in good condition. If
the pedal rises, the booster is faulty.
If the above three tests are okay, the booster performance can
be determined as good.
If one of the above three tests is not okay at last, the check
valve, vacuum hose, or booster will be faulty.
CHECK VALVE OPERATION CHECKM35FNALWhen checking the check valve, keep the check valve fit in the
vacuum hose.
1. Remove the vacuum hose.
Caution
The check valve is press-fit inside the vacuum hose and
do not remove the check valve from the vacuum hose.1

Caution
1. Never insert a probe, etc. into the connector as it
may result in poor contact later.

tester or oscilloscope.
Output voltage:
When measured with circuit tester: 70
mV or more
When measured with oscilloscope (max. voltage): 100
mV or more
Probable causes of low output voltage
l Speed sensor pole piece-to-rotor clearance too large
l Faulty speed sensor
4. Then, in order to observe the output state of the wheel
speed sensors, shift into low gear
(AWD vehicle) and drive
the wheels, observe the output voltage waveform of each
wheel speed sensor with an oscilloscope.
In the case of the FWD vehicle, observe the waveform with
an oscilloscope; for the front wheels, shift into low gear and
drive the wheels; for the rear wheels, turn the wheels
manually at a constant speed.
NOTE
1.Waveform may also be observed by actually driving the
vehicle.
2.The output voltage is low when the wheel speed is low
and increases as the wheel speed increases.
