Normal Operation

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.

The wheel speed sensor and sensor ring generate a square wave signal to the ABS module that is proportional to wheel speed. The ABS module compares wheel speed inputs from all wheel speed sensors to determine an impending wheel lockup. Incorrect tire size can set these DTCs as well.

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
  • DTC C1222 Wheel Speed Mismatch
When the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), if the ABS module detects a difference between wheel speed sensor signals, DTC C1222 will be set. DTC C1222 can also be set by damaged tone rings, mismatched wheel and/or tire sizes or driving the vehicle on one or more deflated tires.
  • DTC C1233 LF Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Fault
  • DTC C1234 RF Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Fault
  • DTC C1235 RR Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Fault
  • DTC C1236 LR Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Fault
 
When the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), if the ABS module does not receive a signal from the wheel speed sensor, the appropriate DTC will be set. These DTCs can also be set by an excessive wheel speed sensor-to-tone ring air gap or a damaged tone ring.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
