E-2Output abnormality of wheel speed sensor
[Explanation]The warning light lights up when there is an
abnormality (other than broken wire or short circuit)
in the wheel speed sensor output signal while
driving.
[Hinti
The following can be considered as the cause of thewheel 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 signall When the sensor output signal is below the
standard value or when amplitude modulation is
over the standard value, using an oscilloscope tomeasure the wave shape of the wheel speed
sensor output signal is very effective.
l Loose wheel bearing
l Temporarily broken wire in sensor harness
l Sensor harness and body connector are not
properly inserted.
NOTE
If contact is poor, check the sensor cable by bendingand lightly stretching it.
