  1. Lift the vehicle.
  2. IG "ON".
  3. Turn the wheel by hand.
  4. Measure waveform between signal terminal of the wheel speed sensor harness connector and chassis ground with oscilloscope.

    Specification:  High: 1.18~1.68V, Low: 0.59~0.84V

  5. Is the measured waveform within specifications?

    YES 

    • Fault is intermittent caused by faulty HECU, wheel speed sensor or external noise, an interference between harnesses. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
