C1032-RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL ERRATIC PERFORMANCE

For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
When the Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) Signal is intermittently missing while vehicle speed is above 40 km/h (25 mph) or erratic wheel speed signal during acceleration or sensed wheel speed is different from other wheels.





Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK FOR DTC C1032-RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL ERRATIC PERFORMANCE
NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.

Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.

CAUTION: Ensure brake capability is available before road testing.

Road test the vehicle over 40 km/h (25 mph).

NOTE: Vehicle must be driven above 40 km/h (25 mph) for set conditions to be met.

With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Does the scan tool display: C1032-RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL ERRATIC PERFORMANCE active?

Yes

- Go to 3

No

- Go to 2

2. CHECK WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNALS
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, monitor and graph ALL the WSS speeds and compare graph while an assistant drives the vehicle.

NOTE: If graph shows periodic dropouts pay close attention to the tone wheel.

Slowly accelerate as straight as possible from a stop to 40 km/h (25 mph).
Is the Right Rear WSS speed showing 0 km/h (0 mph) or not matching other wheels or showing erratic behavior?

Yes

- Go to 3

No

- Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure.

3. CHECK FOR IMPROPER RIGHT REAR TIRE PRESSURE/MISMATCHED TIRES
Turn the ignition off.
Check and adjust the Right Rear Tire pressure.
Check and adjust all other tire pressures.
Inspect for mismatched tires on vehicle.
Is the Right Rear Tire improperly inflated or mismatched tires on vehicle?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. ABS Verification Test

No

- Go to 4

4. CHECK AXLE SHAFT FASTENER HARDWARE FOR LOOSENESS
Inspect the axle shaft fastener for looseness, and not properly fastened. Tighten fastener to proper specification as required.
Was the Axle Shaft fastener loose?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.

No

- Go to 5

5. CHECK RIGHT REAR WSS LOOSENESS, INSPECT B1, B2 CIRCUITS/TERMINALS FOR DAMAGE

NOTE: Check all terminals for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.

Inspect the Right Rear WSS for looseness, excessive corrosion and not properly fastened.
Inspect the (B1) Right Rear WSS Signal and (B2) Right Rear WSS Supply circuits between the Right Rear WSS and Anti-Lock Brake Module for damage.
Is the Right Rear WSS loose or any of the wiring/connectors/terminals damaged?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. ABS Verification Test

No

- Go to 6

6. CHECK RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FOR DAMAGE
Remove the Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor.
Inspect the Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor face for damage.
Is the Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor damaged?

Yes

- Replace sensor and hub assembly.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. ABS Verification Test

No

- Go to 7

7. CHECK RIGHT REAR TONE WHEEL FOR DAMAGE
Inspect the Right Rear Tone Wheel for damage, missing teeth, cracks, corrosion or looseness.

NOTE: The Tone Wheel teeth should be perfectly square, not bent, or nicked.

Is the Right Rear Tone Wheel damaged?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. ABS Verification Test

No

- Go to 8

8. CHECK RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING FOR DAMAGE
Inspect the Right Rear wheel bearing for excessive runout or clearance.

NOTE: Refer to the appropriate service information, if necessary, for procedures or specifications.

Is the Right Rear Wheel Bearing Damaged?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. ABS Verification Test

No

- Go to 9

9. RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
Replace the Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor.
Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. ABS Verification Test
Road test the vehicle over 40 km/h (25 mph).

NOTE: Vehicle must be driven above 40 km/h (25 mph) for set conditions to be met.

With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs.
Did DTC C1032-RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL ERRATIC PERFORMANCE reset?

Yes

- Replace the Anti-Lock Brakes Module.
