Diagnostic help

A vehicle speed signal reading can be obtained on the ISAT scan tool.


- Select "READ FUNCTIONS".



- Select "CAR SPEED".


The ISAT scan tool should show the current wheel speed. Drive the car and compare the ISAT scan tool reading with the speed indicated on the speedometer.

Checking the wiring. Intermittent faults may occur as a result of occasional short circuits and breaks in the wiring. Jiggle the leads and in-line connectors at several places and in different directions to reveal faults in the wiring harness. Observe the multimeter, ISAT scan tool or test lamp while carrying out this check.

Diagnostic procedure

1. Check the ABS diagnostic trouble codes




- Connect an ISAT scan tool.



- Ignition switch in ON position.



- Select "ABS M96".



- Obtain readouts of any diagnostic trouble codes.


Relevant diagnostic trouble codes for the RH front wheel sensor are B1376 and B1377.

Is B1376 or B1377 present?

- Ignition switch in ON position.



- Connect the test lamp to pins 39 and 1 of the female connector.



- Spin the RH front wheel.


The test lamp should flash.

Does the test lamp flash?

yes

Continue with point 3.


no

Check the lead between pin 7 of the ABS electronic control module and pin 39 of the Trionic electronic control module for shorting and continuity. If the lead is OK, continue fault diagnosis as described in Service Manual 5 "Brakes".


3. Final check



- Clear the diagnostic trouble code.



- Implementation of driving cycle: Drive the car at varying engine rpm and loads for 5 minutes.



- Evaluation of driving cycle:



- Connect an ISAT scan tool.



- Select "READ FUNCTIONS".



- Select "CAR SPEED".



- Check that the ISAT scan tool shows the same speed as the speedometer.


Is the ISAT scan tool reading incorrect?

yes

Proceed to .


no

The remedial measure taken was correct.
