DTC (VSA)

  1. Problem verification

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, then start the engine.

    - 4. Test-drive the vehicle at 12 mph (20 km/h) or more for at least 72 seconds.

    NOTE:  Drive the vehicle on the road, not on a lift.

    - 5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC Description DTC Freeze Frame
    C1041-00 Right Front Wheel Abnormal Slip Detection    
    C1042-00 Left Front Wheel Abnormal Slip Detection    
    C1043-00 Right Rear Wheel Abnormal Slip Detection    
    C1044-00 Left Rear Wheel Abnormal Slip Detection    

    Is DTC C1041-00, C1042-00, C1043-00, or C1044-00 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Refer to intermittent failures troubleshooting - Refer to:

    How to Troubleshoot the VSA System (2014 2015 2016) or

    How to Troubleshoot the VSA System (2017 2018 2019 2020) 

    If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

  2. Tire check

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Check all four tires for size, inflation, and wear.  Refer to:

    Wheel Alignment (2014 2015 2016)

    Wheel Alignment (2017 2018)

    Wheel Alignment (2019-2020)

    Are all four tires the correct size, properly inflated, and worn evenly?

    YES 

    Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Swap the wheels and tires with a known-good set (the correct size, type, and properly inflated), then retest-drive the vehicle.

  3. Wheel speed sensor performance check

    - 1. Test-drive the vehicle at 12 mph (20 km/h) or more in a straight line.

    NOTE:  Drive the vehicle on the road, not on a lift.

    - 2. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Current conditions
    Values Unit
    RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED    
    LEFT FRONT WHEEL SPEED    
    RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED    
    LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED    

    Is any one of the four values different?

    YES 

    Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Check for loose terminals and poor connections in the VSA modulator-control unit 38P connector. If they are OK, replace the VSA modulator-control unit .

  4. Wheel speed sensor check (substitution)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Substitute a known-good wheel speed sensor.  Refer to:

    Wheel Speed Sensor Removal and Installation (2014 2015 2016) , or

    Wheel Speed Sensor Removal and Installation (2017 2018 2019 2020), .

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 5. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, then start the engine.

    - 6. Test-drive the vehicle at 12 mph (20 km/h) or more for at least 72 seconds.

    NOTE:  Drive the vehicle on the road, not on a lift.

    - 7. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    C1044-00 Left Rear Wheel Abnormal Slip Detection    

    Is DTC C1041-00, C1042-00, C1043-00, or C1044-00 indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Replace the original wheel speed sensor - Refer to:

    Wheel Speed Sensor Removal and Installation (2014 2015 2016) , or

    Wheel Speed Sensor Removal and Installation (2017 2018 2019 2020), .

  5. Magnetic encoder check

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Inspect the magnetic encoder for damage, debris, and correct installation.

    Appropriate Magnetic Encoder Note
    Left-front Remove the driveshaft outboard joint from the appropriate wheel hub .
    Right-front
    Left-rear Remove the hub bearing unit - Refer to:

    Right-rear

    Is the magnetic encoder surface OK?

    YES 

    Check for loose terminals and poor connections in the VSA modulator-control unit 38P connector. If they are OK, replace the VSA modulator-control unit .

    NO 

    Clean the debris from the appropriate magnetic encoder surface on the wheel bearing or the hub bearing unit. If the debris cannot be removed or the encoder is damaged, replace the appropriate wheel bearing or the hub bearing unit - Refer to:

    Rear Knuckle/Hub Bearing Unit Removal and Installation (2014 2015 2016), or
