Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

1) CHECK FOR DTC C100A-LEFT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT
NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.

Turn the ignition on.

With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.

Cycle the ignition switch from off to on.

With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Does the scan tool display: C100A-LEFT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT?

Yes
1. Go to 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 ABS-INTERMITTENT CONDITION in DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING.
2) CHECK CONNECTOR/TERMINAL FOR DAMAGE
NOTE: Check all terminals for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.

Turn the ignition off.

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

Is the Left Front WSS or any of the connectors/terminals damaged?

Yes
1. Repair as necessary.
