    1. YES  : INSPECT the wheel speed sensor tone ring for damage and looseness. INSTALL new components as necessary. If the tone ring is OK, the concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    2. NO  : If the current level LED is not illuminated and the sensor output LEDs do not illuminate or if the current level LED is illuminated red, INSTALL a new wheel speed sensor. For the front wheel speed sensor, REFER to Wheel Speed Sensor - Front, Rear Wheel Drive (RWD)  or Wheel Speed Sensor - Front, Four Wheel Drive (4WD)  in this article. For the rear wheel speed sensor, REFER to Wheel Speed Sensor - Rear  in this article. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

      If the current level LED is not illuminated and the sensor output LEDs illuminate green but do not flash, INSPECT the wheel speed sensor tone ring and INSTALL new if necessary. If the tone ring is OK, INSTALL a new wheel speed sensor. For the front wheel speed sensor, REFER to Wheel Speed Sensor - Front, Rear Wheel Drive (RWD)  or Wheel Speed Sensor - Front, Four Wheel Drive (4WD)  in this article. For the rear wheel speed sensor, REFER to Wheel Speed Sensor - Rear  in this article. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

  5. D5 CHECK THE FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Wheel Speed Sensor C150 (LF) or C160 (RF)
    • For DTC C1233: 
      • connect a fused (5A) jumper wire between LF wheel speed sensor C150-1, circuit 521 (TN/OG), harness side and LF wheel speed sensor C150-1, circuit 521 (TN/OG), component side.
      • connect the automotive meter between LF wheel speed sensor C150-2, circuit 522 (TN/BK), harness side and LF wheel speed sensor C150-2, circuit 522 (TN/BK), component side.
    • For DTC C1234: 
      • connect a fused (5A) jumper wire between RF wheel speed sensor C160-2, circuit 516 (YE/BK), harness side and RF wheel speed sensor C160-2, circuit 516 (YE/BK), component side.
      • connect the automotive meter between RF wheel speed sensor C160-1, circuit 514 (YE/RD), harness side and RF wheel speed sensor C160-1, circuit 514 (YE/RD), component side.
