DESCRIPTION

Each speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the signals to the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly). These signals are used for ABS control.

DTCs C1273 and C1274 are cleared when the speed sensor sends a wheel speed signal or when Test Mode ends. DTCs C1273 and C1274 are output only in Test Mode.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION)

(a) Using the Techstream, check for any momentary interruptions in the wire harness and connector corresponding to a DTC.

(b) Check the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream.

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.

OK:

The speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream is similar to the speed indicated on the speedometer.
