DTC Descriptor

DTC C0245 00
- Wheel Speed Sensor Frequency Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The wheel speeds are detected by active wheel speed sensors. Each wheel speed sensor receives ignition voltage from the electronic brake control module and provides an alternating current square wave signal to the electronic brake control module. As the wheel spins, the electronic brake control module uses the frequency of the square wave signal to calculate the wheel speed.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Brake is not applied.

* Vehicle is not cornering.

* Vehicle speed is greater than 14 km/h (9 MPH).

* DTC C0035, C0040, C0045, or C0050 is not present.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Wheel speed differences between one wheel and the others is greater than 20 percent.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* A message may be displayed.

* The ABS indicator turns ON.

* The red Brake warning indicator turns ON.

* The traction/stability control indicator turns ON.

* The electronic brake control module disables the ABS, the traction control, the electronic stability control and the hill start assist for the duration of the ignition cycle.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

* The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Verify that all tires have the proper air pressure.

• If not the proper air pressure
Adjust all tire air pressures to the stated cold air pressure as identified on the tire placard or specification.

• If the proper air pressure

2. Verify that all tires are of uniform size and matching brand.

• If not of uniform size or matching brand

1. Replace the mis-sized or non-matching brand tire.

2. Verify the DTC does not set while operating the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC.

• If the DTC is set, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.

• If the DTC does not set.

3. All OK.

• If all tires are of uniform size and matching brand

3. All OK.
