PINPOINT TEST C: DTCs C1145, C1155, C1165 AND C1175 - WHEEL SPEED SENSOR INPUT CIRCUIT FAILURE

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multi-meter probes.
  1. C1 CHECK FOR FAULT REPEATABILITY 
    • Connect the diagnostic tool.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: ABS Clear Continuous DTCs
    • Drive the vehicle at least 16 km/h (10 mph).
    • Retrieve and document continuous DTCs.
    • Is DTC C1145, C1155, C1165 or C1175 retrieved? 
    1. YES  : If the active wheel speed sensor tool is available, go to  C2. If the active wheel speed sensor tool is not available, go to  C4.
    2. NO  : INSPECT the wheel speed sensors, wheel speed sensor wiring and wheel speed sensor tone rings. REPAIR or INSTALL new as necessary. If any other DTCs are retrieved, go to the ABS Module DTC Chart.
  2. C2 CHECK THE ABS MODULE OUTPUT USING THE SPECIAL TOOL 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Suspect Wheel Speed Sensor
    • Connect the special tool to the wheel speed sensor connectors.

    1. YES  : Go to  C3.
    2. NO  : Go to  C6.
  3. C3 CHECK THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT WITH THE SPECIAL TOOL 
    • Raise the suspect wheel until it can spin freely. Refer to JACKING AND LIFTING .
    • While monitoring the special tool, slowly spin the suspect wheel.
    • Do the sensor output LEDs illuminate and flash and is the current overload LED not illuminated? 
    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  or Wheel Speed Sensor - Rear . 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 wheel speed sensor tone rings and INSTALL new tone ring as necessary. REFER to Wheel Speed Sensor Ring - Front  or Wheel Speed Sensor Ring - Rear . If the tone ring is OK, INSTALL a new wheel speed sensor. REFER to Wheel Speed Sensor - Front  or Wheel Speed Sensor - Rear . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
