DTC C1415: Rear Speed Sensor RH Output Malfunction; DTC C1416: Rear Speed Sensor LH Output 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 HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION) 
    1. Using the Techstream, check for any momentary interruption in the wire harness and connector corresponding to the DTC. Refer to CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS .
      MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION CHECK

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      RR Speed Open RR speed sensor open detection / ERROR or NORMAL ERROR: Momentary interruption
      NORMAL: Normal
      -
      RL Speed Open RL speed sensor open detection / ERROR or NORMAL ERROR: Momentary interruption
      NORMAL: Normal
      -

      OK

      There are no momentary interruptions.

      HINT: 

      Perform the above inspection before removing the sensor and connector.

    NG → See step   4 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (REAR SPEED SENSOR) 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    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.

    NG → See step   4 

    OK: Go to next step 

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

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTCs (C1415 and C1416) are not output A
      DTCs (C1415 and/or C1416) are output B

      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 .

    B → See step   12
