Signal Missing
Signal missing
Checking the connectors for the control module and wheel sensor
- Ignition off
- Check the wheel sensor and control module connectors. Check for contact resistance and oxidation
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Raise the car so that the relevant wheel is clear of the ground
- Ignition on
- Read off the wheel speed for the relevant wheel.
Spin the relevant wheel and check that the wheel speed is updated.
If the wheel speed is updated, the cause of the fault was loose connections in the connectors for the control module or wheel sensor.
Note! The speed signal will only be active for approximately 20 seconds. Activate the function again if necessary.

Is the wheel speed updated?
Yes - Fault Found
No - Checking wiring and sensors
-------------------------------------------------
Checking wiring and sensors
Checking the power supply
Check the signal cable between control module
- terminal #45 (#A45) (left front)
- #34 (#A34) (right front).
and terminal #1 on the relevant sensor. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Checking the signal cable
Check the signal cable between control module
- terminal #46 (#A46) (left front)
- #33 (#A33) (right front).
and terminal #2 on the relevant sensor. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Checking the function of the sensor
Check the sensor. Ensure that the breakout box is connected, the sensor is connected and the ignition is on. Measure the signal from the sensor. Connect a voltmeter between:
- terminals #45 (#A45) and #46 (#A46) (left front)
- terminals #34 (#A34) and #33 (#A33) (right front).
on the breakout box. The voltage should vary by approximately 1 V when the pulse wheel is rotating. Replace the wheel sensor if the voltage is faulty.
Hint: Particularly check the wiring at the steering shaft.
Remedy as necessary.
