Faulty Signal






Faulty signal

Checking the connectors on the brake control module (BCM) and wheel sensor








- Ignition off
- Check the connectors on the brake control module (BCM) and the wheel sensor. Check for contact resistance. Check for oxidation

Note! Check to see if the wheel sensor cable is fault-free and correctly installed. A defective lead must be replaced, repair is not allowed. For information on correct mounting: Transmission input speed sensor, front wheels Transmission Input Speed Sensor, Front Wheels

- Reinstall the components, 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 on the brake control module (BCM) or wheel sensor.

Note! The speed signal will only be active for approximately 20 seconds. Activate the function again if necessary.

Checking the power supply
Check the signal cable between the brake control module (BCM)
- 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 the brake control module (BCM)
- 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.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the components, connectors, etc.

Information

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - Exit Fault-Tracing

No - Attempt New Test
