Diagnostic Test

CHECK FOR A DTC C1038-REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW
NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read and record DTCs.
3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
4. Cycle the ignition switch from off to on.
5. With the scan tool, read and record DTCs
  Does the scan tool display: C1038-REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 2
  No
  - Perform ABS-INTERMITTENT CONDITION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
CHECK THE TERMINALS/CONNECTORS/TONE WHEEL FOR DAMAGE
NOTE: Check all related wiring for bruised, chafed, pierced, or partially broken wires.

NOTE: Check all related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.

NOTE: Check the tone wheel teeth for missing teeth, cracks, or looseness. Teeth should be perfectly square, not bent, or nicked.
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Visually inspect the ABM harness connector, Right Rear WSS, Right Rear WSS harness connector, and Right Rear WSS tone wheel (if applicable) for damage.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 3
CHECK THE (B1) RIGHT REAR WSS SIGNAL AND THE (B2) RIGHT REAR WSS SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER

1. Reconnect the ABM harness connector.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Measure the voltage of the (B2) Right Rear WSS Supply circuit in the Right Rear WSS harness connector.
  Is the voltage above 10 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 7
  No
  - Go to step 5
CHECK THE (B2) RIGHT REAR WSS SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the ABM harness connector.
3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, check the (B2) Right Rear WSS Supply circuit.
  Does the test light illuminate brightly?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (B2) Right Rear WSS Supply circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 6
CHECK THE (B2) RIGHT REAR WSS SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

1. Connect a jumper wire between the (B2) Right Rear WSS Supply circuit and ground.
2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, check the (B2) Right Rear WSS Supply circuit.
  Does the test light illuminate brightly
  
  Yes
  - Replace the ABM in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Repair the (B2) Right Rear WSS Supply circuit for an open.
  - Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
