DESCRIPTION

When foreign matter adheres to a speed sensor tip or speed sensor rotor, these DTCs are stored. The presence of foreign matter can be judged when an abnormal waveform is received from a sensor.

These DTCs may also be detected when a malfunction occurs in the connector terminals or wire harness of the speed sensor circuit.

DTCs C1275 to C1278 will be cleared when the speed sensor sends a wheel speed signal or when Test Mode ends. DTCs from C1275 to C1278 are output only in Test Mode.
