Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
Active wheel speed sensors generate a voltage signal proportional to wheel speed which is sent to the ABS module. Each wheel speed sensor is connected to the ABS module through 2 wires and a connector at each wheel speed sensor. The 2 circuits provide both sensor power and sensor signal return.
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| C0031:01 | Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor: General Electrical Failure | Sets when the ABS module does not receive a signal from the wheel speed sensor. |
| C0034:01 | Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor: General Electrical Failure | Sets when the ABS module does not receive a signal from the wheel speed sensor. |
| C0031:12 | Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor: Circuit Short to Battery | Sets when the ABS module detects a short to voltage from the sensor signal return circuit. A short to voltage may be due to the sensor signal return and sensor voltage supply circuits shorted together or a short internal to the sensor itself. |
| C0034:12 | Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor: Circuit Short to Battery | Sets when the ABS module detects a short to voltage from the sensor signal return circuit. A short to voltage may be due to the sensor signal return and sensor voltage supply circuits shorted together or a short internal to the sensor itself. |
| C0031:14 | Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor: Circuit Short to Ground or Open | Sets when the ABS module detects a short to ground or an open from the sensor signal return circuit or if the sensor has an internal short to ground or open. |
| C0034:14 | Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor: Circuit Short to Ground or Open | Sets when the ABS module detects a short to ground or an open from the sensor signal return circuit or if the sensor has an internal short to ground or open. |
| C0032:11 | Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Supply: Circuit Short to Ground | Sets when the ABS module detects a short to ground on the sensor signal voltage supply circuit. |
| C0035:11 | Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Supply: Circuit Short to Ground | Sets when the ABS module detects a short to ground on the sensor signal voltage supply circuit. |

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
