Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The active wheel speed sensor generates a signal that is sent to the ABS module. The wheel speed sensor circuitry connects to the ABS module C155 through 2 wires and a connector at each wheel speed sensor. When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, the ABS module carries out a self-test by sending a reference voltage through the wheel speed sensors and their circuitry to determine if they are functional.
Voltage is supplied to the active wheel speed sensors from the ABS module. The wheel speed sensor ground is also supplied by the ABS module.
DTC FAULT TRIGGER CONDITIONS CHART
| DTC Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|
|
When the vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph) or when the ABS module self-test is carried out, if the ABS module detects a short to ground, a short to voltage, an open circuit or a defective wheel speed sensor, the corresponding DTC will set. |
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Wheel speed sensor
- ABS module
