Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Signal

DESCRIPTION

The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used to control the ABS control system. The front and rear rotors have 48 serrations each.

When the rotors rotate, the magnetic field emitted by the permanent magnet in the speed sensor generates AC voltage. Since the frequency of this AC voltage changes in direct proportion to the speed of the rotor, the frequency is used by the ECU to detect the speed of each wheel.

HINT:

• DTC C0200/31 and C1235/35 are for the right front speed sensor.
• DTC C0205/32 and C1236/36 are for the left front speed sensor.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1 READ VALUE ON INTELLIGENT TESTER (FRONT SPEED SENSOR)

(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

(b) Start the engine.

(c) Select the DATA LIST mode on the intelligent tester.

ABS / VSC:

(d) Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the intelligent tester and the speed value displayed on the speedometer when driving the vehicle.

OK: There is almost no difference from the displayed speed value.

HINT: There is tolerance of +- 10 % in the speedometer indication.

2 CHECK SPEED SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR SERRATIONS

(a) INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE

(1) Connect the oscilloscope to terminal FR+ and FRor FL+ and FL- of the skid control ECU.

(2) Drive the vehicle at about 30 km/h, and check the signal waveform.

OK: A waveform as shown in a figure should be output.

HINT:

• As the vehicle speed (wheel revolution speed) increases, a cycle of the waveform narrows and the fluctuation in the output voltage becomes greater.
• When noise is identified in the waveform on the oscilloscope, error signals are generated due to the speed sensor rotor's scratches, looseness or foreign matter attached to it.

NOTICE: When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration (See page BC-70).

NOTICE: Check the speed sensor signal after replacement (See page BC-72).

4 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FRONT SPEED SENSOR - SKID CONTROL ECU)

(a) Disconnect the skid control ECU connector and the front speed sensor connector.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:

LH

RH

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

6 CHECK FRONT SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION

(a) Check the speed sensor installation.

OK: The installation bolt is tightened properly. There is no clearance between the sensor and the front steering knuckle.

Torque: 8.0 N*m (82 kgf*cm, 71 in.*lbf)

NOTICE: Check the speed sensor signal after the replacement (See page BC-72).

7 CHECK FRONT SPEED SENSOR TIP

(a) Remove the front speed sensor (See page BC-187).

(b) Check the sensor tip.

OK: No scratches or foreign matter on the sensor tip.

NOTICE: Check the speed sensor signal after the replacement (See page BC-72).

8 CHECK SPEED SENSOR ROTOR

(a) Remove the front drive shaft (See page DS-5).

(b) Check the sensor rotor serrations.

OK: No scratches, missing teeth or foreign matter on the rotors.

HINT: If there is foreign matter in the rotor, remove it and check the output waveform after reassembly.
