General Description
The wheel speed sensor is the essential component the ABS ECU uses to calculate vehicle speed and to determine whether wheel lock occurs.
For example, rear wheel speed signal is used as a reference value, for vehicle speed, in front wheel drive vehicles, and if a difference between front and rear wheel speed occurs, then ABS control is performed.
Wheel speed sensor is active hall-sensor type and good at temperature and noise characteristic.
Digital waveform is produced as tone wheel rotate according as hall sensor principle.
Frequency of duty waveform is changed in proportion to rotation of tone wheel and HECU calculate vehicle speed by this frequency.
DTC Description
The ABS ECU monitors the wheel speed sensor signal continuously.
This code is set if an abnormal speed change ratio is detected while the vehicle speed is more than 2 Km/h.
Warning lamp is turned OFF unless additional faults are detected when the IG KEY is turned ON again, and wheel speed is more than 10 Km/h.
