Code No.11, 12, 13, 14: Wheel Speed Sensor (FR, FL, RR, RL) Open Circuit or Short Circuit

<L.H.drive vehicles>

<R.H.drive vehicles>

OPERATION

A toothed rotor generates a voltage signal as it moves across the pickup field of each wheel speed sensor.
The amount of voltage generated at each wheel is determined by the clearance between the rotor teeth and the wheel speed sensor, and by the speed of rotation.
The wheel speed sensors transmit the frequency of the voltage signal to the Active stability and traction control system-electronic control unit (ASTC-ECU).
The ABS hydraulic unit modulates the amount of braking force individually applied to each wheel cylinder.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

Diagnosis codes No.11, 12, 13 and 14 are set when sensor impedance is varies due to breakage of the wiring harness, connectors or coil of the four wheel speed sensors.

PROBABLE CAUSES

The most likely causes for these diagnosis codes to set are:

Malfunction of the wheel speed sensor
Damaged wiring harness or connector
Malfunction of the ASTC-ECU
