  1. C1 CHECK FOR FAULT REPEATABILITY 
    • Connect the scan tool.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Clear the ABS module DTCs.
    • Drive the vehicle at least 16 km/h (10 mph).
    • Retrieve and record the ABS module DTCs.
    • Is DTC C1145, C1155, C1165 or C1175 retrieved? 
    • Yes:  For DTC C1145 or C1155, if the Rotunda Active Wheel Speed Sensor Tester is available, GO to  C2.

      For DTC C1165 or C1175, or if the Rotunda Active Wheel Speed Sensor Tester is not available, GO to  C4.

    • No:  INSPECT the wheel speed sensors, wheel speed sensor wiring and wheel speed sensor tone rings. REPAIR or INSTALL new as necessary. If any other DTCs are retrieved, GO to ABS MODULE DTC TABLE .
  2. C2 CHECK THE ABS MODULE OUTPUT USING THE ROTUNDA ACTIVE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR TESTER 
    NOTE: The front wheel speed sensor electrical connectors are located behind the wheel well splash shields. The rear wheel speed sensor electrical connectors are located under the rear seat cushion.
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Suspect Wheel Speed Sensor.
    • Connect the Rotunda Active Wheel Speed Sensor Tester to the wheel speed sensor connectors.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Select the correct system polarity on the Rotunda Active Wheel Speed Sensor Tester and turn the power switch to the ON position.

  3. C3 CHECK THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT WITH THE ROTUNDA ACTIVE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR TESTER 
    • Raise the suspect wheel until it can spin freely. Refer to JACKING & LIFTING .
    • While monitoring the Rotunda Active Wheel Speed Sensor Tester, slowly spin the suspect wheel.
    • Do the sensor output LEDs illuminate and flash and is the current overload LED not illuminated? 
    • Yes:  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    • 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. REFER to Removal and Installation  or Removal and Installation . 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.
