DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU. These signals are used for the ABS control system. This speed sensor contains a sensor IC, which consists of 2 MREs (Magnetic Resistance Element). The speed sensor rotor, which consists of 48 sets of N and S poles that are arranged in a circle, is integrated with the inner race of the hub bearing.
To detect the rotation direction, the output waves are used to determine the relationship of the pulses that are generated by 2 MREs. Upon receiving this signal, the sensor IC outputs a forward or backward wave to the ECU.
DTCs C1275/75 to C1278/78 can be deleted when the speed sensor sends a vehicle speed signal or the Test Mode ends. DTCs C1275/75 to C1278/78 are output only in the Test Mode.

DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
C1235/35 C1236/36 C1238/38 C1239/39 | When either of the following is detected: At a vehicle speed of 12 mph (20 km/h) or more, noise occurs in the sensor signal from the abnormal wheel for 5 seconds or more. At a vehicle speed of 6 mph (10 km/h) or more, noise is input once per rotor rotation for 15 seconds or more. | Speed sensor Speed sensor rotor Sensor installation Skid control ECU |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- When replacing the skid control ECU, perform zero point calibration and store system information .
- HINT:
- When C0200/31, C0205/32, C0210/33 or C0215/34 is output together with C1235/35, C1236/36, C1238/38 or C1239/39, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by C0200/31, C0205/32, C0210/33, or C0215/34 first.
1.CHECK SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR SERRATIONS |

Connect the oscilloscope to terminals FR-, FL-, RR-, and RL- of the skid control ECU and body ground.
Check the signal waveform.
- OK:
- The same waveform is output from all the 4 wheels and there is no noise or interference in the waveform.
Check that the waveform does not change while jiggling a connector or wire harness.
- OK:
- The waveform does not change.
- HINT:
|
| ||||
OK | |
2.RECONFIRM DTC |
Clear the DTC .
Start the engine.
Drive the vehicle at the speed of 12 mph (20 km/h) or more for at least 60 seconds.
Check if the same DTC is recorded .
- Result:
Condition Proceed to DTCs (C1235/35, C1236/36, C1238/38 and/or C1239/39) are not output A DTCs (C1235/35, C1236/36, C1238/38 and/or C1239/39) are output B

4.CHECK REAR SPEED SENSOR TIP |
Remove the rear speed sensor .
Check the speed sensor tip.
- OK:
- No scratches or foreign matter on the sensor tip.
- NOTICE:
- Check the speed sensor signal after cleaning/replacement .
|
| ||||
OK | |
5.CHECK EACH SPEED SENSOR ROTOR |
Remove each speed sensor rotor.
Check the speed sensor rotor.
- OK:
- No scratches, oil, or foreign matter on the rotors.
- NOTICE:
- Check the speed sensor signal after cleaning/replacement .
|
| ||||
OK | |
6.RECONFIRM DTC |
Install the rear speed sensor and the speed sensor rotor.
Reconnect the skid control ECU connector and the speed sensor connector.
Clear the DTC .
Start the engine.
Drive the vehicle at the speed of 12 mph (20 km/h) or more for at least 60 seconds.
Check if the same DTC is recorded .
- Result:
Result Proceed to DTCs (C1235/35, C1236/36, C1238/38 and/or C1239/39) are output A DTCs (C1235/35, C1236/36, C1238/38 and/or C1239/39) are not output B

7.REPLACE EACH SPEED SENSOR |
Turn the engine switch off.
Replace each speed sensor ( for front, or for rear).
- NOTICE:
- Check the speed sensor signal after replacement .
NEXT | |
8.RECONFIRM DTC |
Clear the DTC .
Start the engine.
Drive the vehicle at the speed of 12 mph (20 km/h) or more for at least 60 seconds.
Check if the same DTC is recorded .
- Result:
Result Proceed to DTCs (C1235/35, C1236/36, C1238/38 and/or C1239/39) are output A DTCs (C1235/35, C1236/36, C1238/38 and/or C1239/39) are not output B
