C0222

C0222 or C022

Circuit Description
As the wheel spins, the wheel speed sensor produces an AC signal. The EBCM uses the frequency of the AC signal to calculate the wheel speed.

Conditions for Running the DTC
^ Ignition switch is in the RUN position.
^ The rear wheel speed sensor signal is greater than 13 km/h (8 mph).

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The corresponding wheel speed sensor signal is less than 6 km/h (4 mph) for 5 seconds (120 seconds in order to set multiple missing sensor DTCs).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The ABS indicator lamp turns on.
^ The ABS is disabled for as long as the malfunction is present.
^ If DTC C0222 and DTC C0226 are both set, or if DTC C0236 is set with either of these DTCs the BRAKE indicator is also commanded ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ Repair the condition(s) responsible for setting the DTC.
^ Use a scan tool in order to clear the DTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Thoroughly inspect any connection or circuitry that is suspected of causing an intermittent malfunction. Inspect for the following conditions:
^ Backed out terminals
^ Improper mating
^ Broken locks
^ Corrosion
^ Improperly formed or damaged terminals
^ Poor terminal-to-wiring connections
^ Physical damage to the wiring harness
^ Wiring Broken inside the insulation
If the customer's concern is that the ABS indicator lamp is on only during humid conditions such as rain, snow or vehicle wash, thoroughly inspect all wheel speed sensor circuits for signs of water intrusion. Use the following procedure:
1. Spray the suspected area with a 5% salt water solution (two teaspoons of salt to 12 oz. of water).
2. Drive the vehicle above 24 km/h (15 mph) for at least 30 seconds

If the DTC returns, replace the suspected harness. When inspecting a wheel speed sensor, inspect the sensor terminals for corrosion. If evidence of corrosion exists, replace the wheel speed sensor. Refer to Wheel Speed Sensor Replacement.
