DTC C1014 Mutual monitoring of FL wheel speed sensor: Diagnosis

Required Special Tools:

MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Use scan tool to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the check result normal?
1. YES: Go to Step 3.
2. NO: Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to CAN BUS DIAGNOSTIC TABLE ). On completion, go to Step 2.
STEP 2. DTC recheck after resetting CAN bus lines
Q: Is DTC C1014 set?
1. YES: Go to Step 3.
2. NO: The procedure is complete.
STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check the DTC
Check that DTC C100A is also set.

Q: Is DTC C100A also set?
1. YES: Perform the diagnosis for DTC C100A (Refer to DTC C100A ABNORMALITY IN FL WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT ).
2. NO: Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Check for wheel speed sensor installation
Check how the wheel speed sensor <FL> is installed (Disconnection of wheel speed sensor, loose mounting bolt, etc.).

Q: Is the check result normal?
1. YES: Go to Step 5.
2. NO: Reinstall the wheel speed sensor <FL> correctly (Refer to <FRONT> ). Then go to Step 9.
STEP 5. Check for wheel speed sensor as a single unit
Refer to WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CURRENT CHECK .

Q: Is the check result normal?
1. YES: Go to Step 6.
2. NO: Replace the wheel speed sensor <FL> (Refer to <FRONT> ). Then go to Step 9.
STEP 6. Check for wheel bearing looseness
NOTE:
- Loose wheel bearing may increase the gap between the wheel speed sensor and the wheel speed detection magnet encoder.
- Check the wheel bearing <FL> for looseness (Refer to ON-VEHICLE SERVICE ).
Q: Is the check result normal?
1. YES: Go to Step 7.
2. NO: Replace the wheel bearing (Refer to DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY ).
STEP 7. Check of wheel speed detection encoder
Check the encoder for adhesion of foreign materials or deformation.

Q: Is the check result normal?
1. YES: Go to Step 8.
2. NO (Adhesion of foreign materials): Remove the foreign materials and clean the encoder so as not to disturb the magnetization pattern on it while taking care of the magnet, magnetic substance, and magnetic attraction.
3. NO (Deformation): Replace the wheel bearing (Refer to DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY ).

STEP 8. Check whether the DTC is reset.
1. Erase the DTC.
2. Drive the vehicle at 12 mph (20 km/h) or more.
  NOTE: The ABS warning light does not turn OFF in some cases unless the vehicle runs at 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher.
  
  Q: Is DTC C1014 set?
  1. YES: Replace the hydraulic unit (ASC-ECU) (Refer to HYDRAULIC UNIT ). Then go to Step 9.
  2. NO: Intermittent malfunction (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ).
STEP 9. Check whether the DTC is reset.
1. Erase the DTC.
2. Drive the vehicle at 12 mph (20 km/h) or more.
  NOTE: The ABS warning light does not turn OFF in some cases unless the vehicle runs at 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher.
  
  Q: Is DTC C1014 set?
  1. YES: Return to Step 1.
  2. NO: The procedure is complete.
