Description
The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used to control the Multi-terrain ABS, EBD, BA, VSC, A-TRC, CRAWL and hill-start assist control systems. 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 skid control ECU.

DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
C0200/31 C0205/32 | When any of the following conditions is detected: 1. At a vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, the pulses are not input for 1 second. 2. A momentary interruption of the speed sensor signal occurs at least 255 times when switching the ignition switch ON and off. 3. Continuous noise occurs in the speed sensor signals at a vehicle speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more. 4. The speed sensor signal circuit is open for 0.12 seconds or more. |
|
C1235/35 C1236/36 | Noise in the speed sensor signals occurs 75 times or more for 5 seconds when the vehicle speed is 20 km/h (12 mph) or more. |

HINT:
- DTC C0200/31 and C1235/35 are for the front speed sensor RH.
- DTC C0205/32 and C1236/36 are for the front speed sensor LH.
