Diagnostic Aids
- Make thorough inspection of wheel speed sensor circuitry. Pay particular attention to connectors, since connectors are the most likely area for problems.
- ABS system is sensitive to ring damage. Inspect sensor ring for tooth damage or out-of-round condition. Ensure gap between sensor and sensor ring is .025-.070" (.64-1.78 mm).
- Measure resistance between sensor terminals. Resistance should be 1650-1800 ohms.
- Connect Tech 1 scan tester. Spin wheel by hand while monitoring wheel speed. Compare Tech 1 scan tester indications with those from other wheels.
- Suspected intermittents or opens at connectors can be detected with diagnostic service probe which permits voltage to be measured on wires without unplugging connectors. Ensure terminals make good connection.
- When diagnosing intermittent problems, select MALF HISTORY from Tech 1 scan tester ABS menu. Supplemental data can be used to duplicate problem.
