DTC C1015: Abnormality In FR Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit: Diagnosis
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Required Special Tools:
- MB991958 Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

- MB991827 M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910 M.U.T.-III Main Harness A
- MB991997: ASC check harness
- STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 3.
- NO: Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to CAN BUS DIAGNOSTICS TABLE ). On completion, go to Step 2.
- STEP 2. DTC recheck after repairing the CAN bus line
Q: Is DTC No. C1015 set?
- YES: Go to Step 3.
- NO: This diagnosis is complete.
- STEP 3. Scan tool data list
Check the following service data. (Refer to DATA LIST REFERENCE TABLE .)
- Item No. 02: FR wheel speed sensor
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 10.
- NO: Go to Step 4.
- Item No. 02: FR wheel speed sensor
- STEP 4. Connector check: A-05 ASC-ECU connector, A-03 front wheel speed sensor <RH> connector
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 5.
- NO: Repair the defective connector. Then go to Step 11.
- STEP 5. Voltage measurement at A-05 ASC-ECU connector
- Disconnect the ASC-ECU connector, connect the special tool ASC check harness (MB991997) to the wiring harness-side connector, and then measure at the special tool connector side.NOTE: Do not connect the special tool to ASC-ECU.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Measure the voltage between the front wheel speed sensor <RH> power supply terminal (signal terminal) No. 34 and the body ground as well as between the ground terminal No. 33 and the body ground.
OK: 1 volt or less
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 6.
- NO (Not normal at the terminal No. 34 or 33): Go to Step 8.
- Disconnect the ASC-ECU connector, connect the special tool ASC check harness (MB991997) to the wiring harness-side connector, and then measure at the special tool connector side.
- STEP 6. Resistance measurement at A-05 ASC-ECU connector
- Disconnect the ASC-ECU connector, connect the special tool ASC check harness (MB991997) to the wiring harness-side connector, and then measure at the special tool connector side.NOTE: Do not connect the special tool to ASC-ECU.
- Measure the resistance between the front wheel speed sensor <RH> circuit power supply terminal (signal terminal) No. 34 and the body ground as well as between the ground terminal No. 33 and the body ground.
OK: No continuity
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 7.
- NO (Not normal at the terminal No. 34 or 33): Go to Step 8.
- Disconnect the ASC-ECU connector, connect the special tool ASC check harness (MB991997) to the wiring harness-side connector, and then measure at the special tool connector side.
- STEP 7. Voltage measurement at A-05 ASC-ECU connector
- Disconnect the ASC-ECU connector, connect special tool ASC check harness (MB991997) to the ASC-ECU-side connector and the wiring harness-side connector, and then measure at the special tool connector side.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Measure the voltage between the front wheel speed sensor <RH> circuit power supply terminal (signal terminal) No. 34 and the body ground and between the wheel speed sensor circuit ground terminal No. 33 and the body ground.
OK: Terminal No. 34 and the body ground: Battery positive voltage
Terminal No. 33 and the body ground: 1 V or less
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 8.
- NO: Go to Step 10.
- STEP 8. Check of wheel speed sensor <FR> as a single unit
Refer to WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CURRENT CHECK .
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 9.
- NO: Replace the wheel speed sensor <FR>. (Refer to WHEEL SPEED SENSOR .) Then go to Step 11.
- STEP 9. Wiring harness check between A-05 ASC-ECU connector terminal No. 34 and A-03 front wheel speed sensor <RH> connector terminal No. 1, and between A-05 ASC-ECU connector terminal No. 33 and A-03 front wheel speed sensor <RH> connector terminal No. 2
- Check for short or open circuit in wheel speed sensor <RH> circuit
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 10.
- NO: Repair the wiring harness. Then go to Step 11.
- Check for short or open circuit in wheel speed sensor <RH> circuit
- STEP 10. Check whether the DTC is reset.
- Erase the DTC.
- 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 C1015 set?
- YES: Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU). (Refer to HYDRAULIC UNIT .) Then go to Step 11.
- NO: Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION .)
- STEP 11. Check whether the DTC is reset.
- Erase the DTC.
- 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 C1015 set?
- YES: Return to Step 1.
- NO: This diagnosis is complete.
