C1204 Wheel Speed Sensor Front-RH Range/Performance/Intermittent: DTC Detecting Condition

2009 Hyundai Tucson Limited, 2.0 BSECTION DTC Detecting Condition
Item Detecting Condition Possible cause
DTC Strategy
  • Signal monitoring
  • Improper installation of wheel speed sensor
  • Abnormal Rotor and wheel bearing
  • Faulty Wheel speed sensor
Enable Conditions Case1
  • Max. wheel velocity exceeds 20km/h and the wheel velocity is 40% of max. wheel velocity, if this condition is lasted for 2 minutes.
  • Max. wheel velocity exceeds 40km/h and the wheel velocity is 60% of max. wheel velocity, if this condition is lasted for 2 minutes.
Case2
  • Controller counts the number of the wheel acceleration of 100g[(25km/h) for 7ms]. When the numbers at one wheel exceed 56 times, or When the numbers at more two wheels exceed 5 times, controller recognize the failure.
  • Controller counts the number of the wheel acceleration of 70g[(17.5km/h) for 7ms]. When the numbers at one wheel exceed 126 times, or When the numbers at more two wheels exceed 20 times, controller recognize the failure.
  • Controller counts the number of the wheel deceleration of -100g[(-25km/h) for 7ms]. When the numbers at each wheel exceed 56 times, controller recognize the failure.
  • The wheel deceleration of-100g[(-25km/h) for 7ms] causes the controller to start monitoring this failure and to compare the wheel velocity with the vehicle velocity from next cycle. When its difference of -100g is continued for more than 140msec, controller recognize the failure.
  • In case that any sensor failure at other wheel was already detected, When the numbers of 100g at each wheel exceed 5 times, or When the numbers of 70g at each wheel exceed 20 times, controller recognize the failure.
    • The counter of speed jump is cleared every 30min.
    • This monitoring is performed for the period that the velocity of each wheel exceeds 2km/h.
Fail Safe
  1. Only one wheel failure : Inhibit the ABS/ESC control, allow the EBD control. The ABS/ESC warning lamps are activated, the EBD warning lamp is not activated.
  2. More than two wheels failure : The ABS/EBD/ESC functions are inhibited. The ABS/EBD/ESC warning lamps are activated.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
