DTC 12: Right-Front Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Malfunction; DTC 14: Left-Front Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Malfunction; DTC 16: Right-Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Malfunction; DTC 18: Left-Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Malfunction
- If the ABS and other indicators come on because of electrical noise, the indicators will go off when you test-drive the vehicle speed at 9 mph (15 km/h) or more and the noise is gone.
- An incorrectly installed wheel bearing can cause one of these DTCs.
- Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
- Check the appropriate wheel speed sensor (see WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACEMENT
) and inspect the magnetic encoder on the appropriate hub bearing for debris: Front (see
HUB BEARING UNIT REPLACEMENT
), rear (see
HUB BEARING UNIT REPLACEMENT
).
