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

112 to 1
turn/second, measure the output voltage with a circuit
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.

NOTEThe wheel speed sensor cable moves following motion of the front or rear suspension. Therefore, it is likely that it has an
open circuit only when driving on rough roads and it functions normally on ordinary roads. It is, therefore, recommended
to observe sensor output voltage waveform also under special conditions, such as rough road driving,

INSPECTION OF HYDRAULIC UNITINSPECTION BY FEEL
(I) Jack up the vehicle and support the vehicle with rigid racks
placed at the specified jack-up points.
(2) Release the parking brake and determine the drag force
(drag torque) of each wheel by feel.
LJ(3) Set the MUT through the adapter harness (MB991377) as
illustrated.
(4) After confirming that the shift lever or selector lever is in
the neutral position, start the engine.
The ABS warning light lights up, it goes into the MUT mode.
In the MUT mode, ABS does not function.
(5) Operate the MUT to force the actuator to operate (item No.
04, 05, 06).
(6) Turning the wheel manually, check the change of the
braking force when the brake pedal is depressed.
The change should be as shown in the following illustration.
NOTEWhile the ABS is in the fail safe mode, the MUT actuator
test cannot be made.
