DTC C1403: Rear Speed Sensor RH Malfunction; DTC C1404: Rear Speed Sensor LH Malfunction: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Lexus IS 350 and 2009 Lexus IS 250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK REAR SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION 
    1. Check the speed sensor installation.

      OK

      There is no clearance between the sensor and the rear axle carrier.

      The installation bolt is tightened properly.

      Torque 

      8.5 N*m (87 kgf*cm, 75 in.*lbf)

    NG → See step   8 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK REAR SPEED SENSOR TIP 
    1. Remove the rear speed sensor. Refer to REMOVAL .
    2. Check the speed sensor tip.

      OK

      No scratches, oil, or foreign matter on the sensor tip.

      NOTE:

      Check the speed sensor signal after cleaning or replacement. Refer to TEST MODE PROCEDURE .

    NG → CLEAN OR REPLACE REAR SPEED SENSOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK REAR SPEED SENSOR ROTOR 
    1. Remove the rear speed sensor rotor. Refer to REMOVAL .
    2. Check the speed sensor rotor.

      OK

      No scratches, oil, or foreign matter on the rotors.

      NOTE:

      Check the speed sensor signal after cleaning or replacement. Refer to TEST MODE PROCEDURE .

      HINT: 

      The rear speed sensor rotor is incorporated into the rear axle hub and bearing assembly.

      If the rear speed sensor rotor needs to be replaced, replace it together with the rear axle hub and bearing assembly.

    NG → CLEAN OR REPLACE REAR SPEED SENSOR ROTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (REAR SPEED SENSOR) 
    1. Install the rear speed sensor and the rear speed sensor rotor.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Start the engine.
    4. Select the Data List on the Techstream. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST .
      DATA LIST

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      RR Wheel Speed RR wheel speed sensor reading / min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), max.: 326.4 km/h (202 mph) When vehicle is stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph)
      When vehicle is being driven at a constant speed: No major fluctuation
      Similar speed as indicated on speedometer
      RL Wheel Speed RL wheel speed sensor reading / min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), max.: 326.4 km/h (202 mph) When vehicle is stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph)
      When vehicle is being driven at a constant speed: No major fluctuation
      Similar speed as indicated on speedometer
    5. Check the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream.

      HINT: 

      Factors that affect the indicated vehicle speed include tire size, tire inflation, and tire wear. The speed indicated on the speedometer has an allowable margin of error. This can be tested using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer). For details about testing and the margin of error, see the reference chart. Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION .

      OK

      The speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream is the similar speed as indicated on the speedometer.

      HINT: 

      If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE .

    NG → See step   5 

    OK → See step   7 

  5. REPLACE REAR SPEED SENSOR 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Replace the rear speed sensor. Refer to REMOVAL .
      NOTE:

      Check the speed sensor signal after replacement. Refer to TEST MODE PROCEDURE .

    NEXT: Go to next step 

  6. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
    2. Start the engine.
    3. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) or more for at least 60 seconds.
    4. Check if the same DTC is recorded. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTCs (C1403 and C1404) are not output A
      DTCs (C1403 and/or C1404) are output B
      NOTE:

      Check the speed sensor signal after replacement. Refer to TEST MODE PROCEDURE .

      HINT: 

      • The rear speed sensor rotor is incorporated into the rear axle hub and bearing assembly.

        If the rear speed sensor rotor needs to be replaced, replace it together with the rear axle hub and bearing assembly.

      • If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE .

    B → REPLACE REAR SPEED SENSOR ROTOR 

    A → END 

  7. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. Refer to  ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE 
  8. INSTALL REAR SPEED SENSOR CORRECTLY. Refer to  INSTALLATION
