  1. 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.
  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. REFER to Wheel Speed Sensor - Front, Four Wheel Drive (4WD) , or Wheel Speed Sensor - Front, Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) or Wheel Speed Sensor - Rear, Four-Channel . 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 tone ring(s) and INSTALL new if necessary. REFER to Wheel Speed Sensor Ring - Rear, Four-Channel If the tone ring(s) are OK, INSTALL a new wheel speed sensor. REFER to Wheel Speed Sensor - Front, Four Wheel Drive (4WD) , or Wheel Speed Sensor - Front, Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) or Wheel Speed Sensor - Rear, Four-Channel . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

T9 CHECK FOR CORRECT ABS MODULE OUTPUT

Ignition OFF.
Disconnect: Suspect Wheel Speed Sensor.
Ignition ON.

Measure the voltage between the suspect wheel speed sensor connector, harness side as follows:

Wheel Speed Sensor Location	Wheel Speed Sensor	Circuit	Wheel Speed Sensor
