The value of FL Wheel Speed is 2 km/h or less, and the value of all FR Wheel Speed, RL Wheel Speed, RR Wheel Speed is 12 km/h or more	A
The value of FL Wheel Speed is 2 km/h or less, and the value of all FR Wheel Speed, RL Wheel Speed, RR Wheel Speed is 50 km/h or more	B

HINT:

2 km/h = 1 mph
12 km/h = 7 mph
50 km/h = 31 mph

Result:

READ VALUE USING GTS (FL WHEEL SPEED)

Pre-procedure1

Start the engine and perform a road test.
Procedure1

Check that the value of FL Wheel Speed changes in accordance with vehicle speed when accelerating from 0 km/h to 20 km/h (0 mph to 12 mph).
