OUTPUT VOLTAGE VARIATIONS ABS>N65FOAO
(1) Jack up the vehicle and release the parking brake.
(2) Disconnect the electronic control unit harness connector,
and measure the speed sensor output voltage at the
vehicle side harness connector.
(3) With an AWD model, put the shift lever in
1st (MTT) or L(A/T) position, rotate the wheels and observe the wave
shape for each wheel. With an FWD model, put the shift
lever in
1st (M/T) or L (AiT) position, rotate the wheels and
observe the wave shape for the front wheels; for the rear
wheels, rotate the wheels by hand and monitor the wave
shape.

Wave shape monitoring points
IS THE OUTPUTVOLTAGE (AMPLITUDE) TOO LOW OR ISTHERE NO OUTPUT VOLTAGE?
If it is too low, check each wheel speed sensor,
With FWD rear wheels, check the sensor gap.
IS THERE VARIATION IN THE WAVE SHAPE AMPLITUDE?
If the flicker of the amplitude is large, consider shaking
of the axle hub.
IS THERE NOISE IN THE WAVE SHAPE OR DISTORTION?Broken or disconnected wire due to vibration or
installation malfunction of the wheel speed sensor.
Check rotor teeth meshing, breaks, etc.

IFLAT BATTERY REMEDYNOWOAF
When booster cables are used to start the engine when the
battery is completely flat and then the vehicle is immediately
driven without waiting for the battery to recharge itself to some
extent, the engine may misfire, and driving might not be
possible. This happens because ABS consumes a great
amount of current for its self-check function; the remedy is to
either allow the battery to recharge sufficiently, or to discon-
nect the connector for ABS circuit, thus disabling ABS.
The ABS warning light will illuminate when the connector (for
ABS) is disconnected.
After the battery has sufficiently charged, connect the connec-
tor (for
ABS) and restart the engine; then check to be sure the
ABS warning light is not illuminated.

Stop light switchConnect a circuit tester to the stop light switch, and check
whether or not there is continuity when the plunger of the’stop
light switch is pushed in and when it is released.
The stop light switch is in good condition if there is no
continuity when the plunger is pushed in to a depth of within 4
mm
(.I6 in.) from the outer case edge surface, and if there is
continuity when it is released.
For vehicles with the auto-cruise control system, the check for
continuity should be made at connectors “a” and “b” of the
stop light switch.
