0F, 18, 5A


Circuit/System Description

The wheel speeds are detected by active wheel speed sensors and encoder rings. The encoder ring consists of permanent magnets. Each wheel speed sensor receives 12 V reference voltages from the electronic brake control module (EBCM). The wheel speed sensor produces changing current between 7-14 mA on the EBCM signal circuit. As the wheel spins, the EBCM uses the frequency of the square wave signal to calculate the actual wheel speed.

Conditions for Running the DTC

C0035 06 - C0050 06

Ignition ON


C0035 0F - C0050 0F

• Ignition ON

• Vehicle speed is greater than 35 km/h (22 mph)



C0035 18 - C0050 18

• Ignition ON

• Vehicle speed is greater than 10 km/h (6 mph)



C0035 5A - C0050 5A

• Ignition ON

• Vehicle speed is greater than 20 km/h (13 mph)


Conditions for Setting the DTC

C0035 06 - C0050 06

A short to voltage, short to ground or open/high resistance on the wheel speed sensor 12 V reference or low reference circuit is detected for 0.14 second.

C0035 0F - C0050 0F

An erratic wheel speed sensor signal is detected for 0.17 second.

C0035 18 - C0050 18

A missing wheel speed sensor signal is detected for 180 seconds.

C0035 5A - C0050 5A

Difference between fastest and slowest wheel speed is greater than 50% for 30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


• The EBCM disables the ABS, traction control, and stability control for the duration of the ignition cycle.

• The ABS indicator turns ON.

• The traction control/stability control-active indicator turns ON.


Conditions for Clearing the DTC


• A current DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

• The EBCM will turn OFF the indicator in the next ignition cycle.


Diagnostic Aids


• Do not use a magnet to clean the encoder ring.

• If 2 or more wheel speed sensors are inoperative, diagnose each wheel speed sensor individually.

Circuit/System Verification


1. Drive the vehicle in a straight line at a speed greater than 20 km/h (13 mph).

2. Verify all scan tool Wheel Speed Sensor parameters are within 1.6 km/h 1 mph of each other.

3. All OK


Circuit/System Testing


1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate B5 wheel speed sensor, ignition ON.

2. Test for greater than 11 V between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.

2.1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 EBCM.

2.2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.

2.3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.

3. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire at the signal circuit terminal B.

4. Verify the scan tool Wheel Speed Sensor parameter changes while rapidly tapping the fused jumper wire to the low reference circuit terminal A.

4.1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 EBCM, ignition ON.

4.2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.

4.3. Test for less than 1 V between the low reference circuit and ground.

4.4. Ignition OFF.

4.5. Test for infinite resistance between the low reference circuit and ground.

4.6. Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.

5. Test or replace the B5 wheel speed sensor.


Component Testing

Note

The following wheel speed sensor test is polarity sensitive. The wheel speed sensor can be permanently damaged if the polarity is reversed during the test.



1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate B5 wheel speed sensor.

2. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal terminal B and 12 V.

3. Connect a DMM set to read DC amperage between the low reference terminal A and ground.

4. Spin the wheel very slowly.

5. Test for a DC current switching between a low value of 4-8 mA and a high value of 11-16 mA.

6. All OK.
