Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire and 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 4:  Measures the resistance of the wheel speed sensor in order to determine if the sensor has a valid resistance value.
  2. 5:  Ensures that the wheel speed sensor is generating a valid AC voltage output.
