DTC C1776/76: Speed Sensor Circuit; DTC C1784/84: Right Rear Speed Sensor Circuit; DTC C1785/85: Left Rear Speed Sensor Circuit: Procedure

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and push the Techstream main switch on.
    3. Select the item below in the DATA LIST, and read its value displayed on the Techstream.

      Air suspension

      Item Normal Condition
      RR Wheel Speed Actual right rear wheel speed
      RL Wheel Speed Actual left rear wheel speed
    4. Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream and the speed value displayed on the speedometer when driving the vehicle.

      OK

      There is almost no difference in the displayed speed values.

      HINT: 

      There is tolerance of +- 10 % in the speedometer indication.

    NG → Go to next step 

    OK → REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU 

  2. CHECK CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT CODE 
    1. Check if the normal code is output by VSC system. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

      OK

      No DTC output from VSC system.

    NG → REPAIR DTC OUTPUT 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU - BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the suspension control ECU S16 connector.

    2. Disconnect the brake actuator assembly S1 connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the values in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      S16-8 (FLO) - S1-40 (RLO) Below 1 Ω
      S16-9 (FRO) - S1-39 (RRO) Below 1 Ω
      S16-8 (FLO) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      S16-9 (FRO) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU 
    1. Connect the suspension control ECU S16 connector.

    2. Remove the suspension control ECU with connector being connected.
    3. Connect the brake actuator assembly S1 connector.
    4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    5. Check output waveform.
      1. Using an oscilloscope, connect the terminals, as shown in the chart.
        Measure Point Tester Connection
        Rear RH S16-9 (FRO) - S16-1 (GND)
        Rear LH S16-8 (FLO) - S16-1 (GND)
      2. Drive the vehicle at about 20 km/h (12 mph), and check the output waveform.

        OK

        The output waveform appears as shown in the illustration above.

        Item Contents
        Tool setting 5 V/DIV., 5 ms./DIV.
        Vehicle condition When drive the vehicle at about 20 km/h 12 (mph)

        HINT: 

        As the vehicle speed becomes higher, the waveform cycle gets shorter.

    NG → REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 

    OK → REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU
