      ABS/VSC/TRAC 

      NORMAL CONDITION

      Tester Display Measurement Item / Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      FR Wheel Speed Front wheel speed sensor RH reading / min 0 km/h (0 mph), max 326 4 km/h (202 mph) Actual wheel speed Similar speed as indicated on speedometer
      FL Wheel Speed Front wheel speed sensor LH reading / Min 0 km/h (0 mph), max 326 4 km/h (202 mph) Actual wheel speed Similar speed as indicated on speedometer
    5. Check that there is almost no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream and the speed value displayed on the speedometer when driving the vehicle

      HINT

      Factors that affect the indicated vehicle speed include tire size, tire inflation, and tire wear The speed indicated on the speedometer has an allowable margin of error

      This can be tested using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer) For details about testing and the margin of error, see the reference chart (See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION )
