Diagnostic Test

  1. 1)  CHECK FOR DTC C101C-RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL ERRATIC PERFORMANCE 
    NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.
    NOTE: If DTC C1015-Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit is present it must be repaired before continuing.

    Turn the ignition on.

    With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.

    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 meet.

    With the scan tool, read DTCs.

    NOTE: The Anti-Lock Brake Module must sense ALL 4 wheels at 12 km/h (7.5 mph) before it will extinguish the ABS indicators.

    Does the scan tool display: C101C-RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL ERRATIC PERFORMANCE? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To Step  2).

    No 

    1. The condition that caused the symptom is currently not present. Inspect the related wiring for a possible intermittent condition. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
    2. Refer to the ABS-INTERMITTENT CONDITION TEST. (Refer to BRAKES - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ABS-INTERMITTENT CONDITION) .
  2. 2)  CHECK WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNALS 

    Turn the ignition on.

    With the scan tool, monitor and graph ALL the WSS speeds and compare graph while an assistant drives the vehicle.

    NOTE: If graph shows periodic dropouts pay close attention to the tone wheel.

    Is the Right Front WSS speed showing 0 km/h (0 mph) or not matching other wheel speeds? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To Step  3).

    No 

    1. Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. (Refer to BRAKES - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ABS-INTERMITTENT CONDITION) .
    2. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE - ABS VERIFICATION TEST)  .
  3. 3)  CHECK FOR IMPROPER RIGHT FRONT TIRE PRESSURE/MISMATCHED TIRES 

    Turn the ignition off.

    Check and adjust the Right Front Tire pressure.

    Check and adjust all other tire pressures.

    Inspect for mismatched tires on vehicle.

    Is the Right Front Tire improperly inflated or mismatched tires on vehicle?

    1. Repair as necessary
    2. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE - ABS VERIFICATION TEST)  .

    No 

    1. Go To Step  4).
  4. 4)  CHECK RIGHT FRONT WSS LOOSENESS, INSPECT B6, B7 CIRCUITS/TERMINALS FOR DAMAGE 
    NOTE: Check all terminals for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals

    Inspect the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector, Right Front WSS, and Right Front WSS harness connector

    Inspect the Right Front WSS for looseness, excessive corrosion and not properly fastened.

    Inspect the (B6) Right Front WSS Signal and (B7) Right Front WSS Supply circuits between the Right Front WSS and Anti-Lock Brake Module for damage.

    Is the Right Front WSS loose or any of the wiring/connectors/terminals damaged?

    1. Repair as necessary
    2. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE - ABS VERIFICATION TEST)  .

    No 

    1. Go To Step  5).
  5. 5)  CHECK RIGHT FRONT TONE WHEEL FOR DAMAGE 

    Inspect the Right Front Tone Wheel for damage, missing teeth, cracks, or looseness.

    Is the Right Front Tone Wheel damaged? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair as necessary
    2. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE - ABS VERIFICATION TEST)  .

    No 

    1. Go To Step  6).
  6. 6)  CHECK RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING FOR DAMAGE 

    Inspect the Right Front wheel bearing for excessive runout or clearance.

    NOTE: Refer to the appropriate service information, if necessary, for procedures or specifications.

    Is the Right Front Wheel Bearing Damaged? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair as necessary
    2. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE - ABS VERIFICATION TEST)  .

    No 

    1. Go To Step  7).
  7. 7)  RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR 

    Replace the Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.

    Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE - ABS VERIFICATION TEST)  .

    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 meet.

    With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs.

    NOTE: The Anti-Lock Brake Module must sense ALL 4 wheels at 12 km/h (7.5 mph) before it will extinguish the ABS indicators.

    Did DTC C101C-RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL ERRATIC PERFORMANCE reset? 

    Yes 

    1. Replace the Anti-Lock Brakes Module in accordance with the Service Information.
    2. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE - ABS VERIFICATION TEST)  .

    No 

    1. Test Complete.
