Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK FOR DTC C1020–LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT

NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.


Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
Cycle the ignition switch from off to on.
With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Does the scan tool display: C1020–LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT?

Yes


No

2. CHECK CONNECTOR/TERMINAL FOR DAMAGE

NOTE: Check all terminals for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.


Turn the ignition off.
Inspect the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector, Left Rear WSS, and Left Rear WSS harness connector.

Is the Left Rear WSS or any of the connectors/terminals damaged?

Yes


No

3. CHECK (B4) LEFT REAR WSS 12 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT VOLTAGE



Disconnect the Left Rear WSS harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (B4) Left Rear WSS 12 Volt Supply circuit.

Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?

Yes


No

4. CHECK (B4) LEFT REAR WSS 12 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Left Rear WSS harness connector.
Disconnect the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe the (B4) Left Rear WSS Supply circuit.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No

5. CHECK (B4) LEFT REAR WSS 12 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN



Connect a jumper wire between ground and the (B4) Left Rear WSS Supply circuit in the Anti-Lock Brakes Module harness connector.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe the (B4) Left Rear WSS Supply circuit.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No

6. CHECK (B3) LEFT REAR WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND



Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No

7. CHECK (B3) LEFT REAR WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN



Connect a jumper wire between ground and the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit in the Anti-Lock Brakes Module harness connector.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No

8. CHECK (B3) LEFT REAR WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE



Turn the ignition on.
Remove all jumper wires.
Measure the voltage between the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit and ground.

Is the voltage above one volt?

Yes


No

9. CHECK (B3) LEFT REAR WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND (B4) LEFT REAR WSS 12 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TOGETHER



Turn the ignition off.
Measure the resistance between the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit and the (B4) Left Rear WSS Supply circuit.

Is the resistance above 120 ohms?

Yes

10

No

10. LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR

Replace the Left Rear Wheel Speed Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST.
(Refer to 5 - BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE).

CAUTION: Ensure brake capability is available before road testing.


Road test the vehicle over 40 km/h (25 mph).

NOTE: Vehicle must be driven above 40 km/h (25 mph) for set conditions to be met.


With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs.

Did DTC C1020–LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT reset?

Yes


No
