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 when the sensor air gap is out of specified range or when the ABS control cycle is continued abnormally.
The HECU checks for air gap malfunctioning by monitoring the sensor signal at speeds between 2 Km/h to 10 Km/h.
Warning lamp is turned OFF if the detected fault is not more than when the IG KEY is turned to ON again, and wheel speeds are more than 10 Km/h.
