DTC C1145: Right Front Wheel Speed Input Circuit Failure Or DTC C1234: Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Missing/Fault (1998 Models): Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Ford Mustang and 1998 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect 30-pin ABS control module connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance between ABS control module connector terminals No. 4 (Yellow/Red wire) and No. 5 (Yellow/Black wire). See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If resistance is 1280-1920 ohms, go to step 4. If resistance is not 1280-1920 ohms, go to next step.
- Disconnect right front sensor connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance of Yellow/Red wire between ABS control module connector terminal No. 4 and right front sensor connector terminal. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Also, measure resistance of Yellow/Black wire between ABS control module connector terminal No. 5 and right front sensor connector terminal. If resistance is less than 5 ohms on both measurements, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms on either measurement, repair Yellow/Red wire or Yellow/Black wire between ABS control module and right front sensor.
- Check for short in twisted pair in right front sensor circuitry. Using DVOM, measure resistance between ABS control module connector terminals No. 4 (Yellow/Red wire) and No. 5 (Yellow/Black wire). See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If resistance is greater than 10,000 ohms, go to step 6. If resistance is less than 10,000 ohms, repair Yellow/Red wire or Yellow/Black wire between ABS control module and right front sensor.
- Check for short to ground in right front sensor circuitry. Using DVOM, measure resistance between ABS control module connector terminal No. 4 (Yellow/Red wire) and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If resistance is greater than 10,000 ohms, go to step 6. If resistance is less than 10,000 ohms, go to next step.
- Disconnect right front sensor connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance between ABS control module connector terminal No. 4 (Yellow/Red wire) and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Also, measure resistance between ABS control module connector terminal No. 5 (Yellow/Black wire) and ground. If resistance is greater than 10,000 ohms on both measurements, go to next step. If resistance is less than 10,000 ohms on either measurement, repair Yellow/Red wire or Yellow/Black wire between ABS control module and right front sensor.
- Turn ignition off. Raise and support vehicle enough so drive wheels are free to spin. Place gear selector in Neutral. Place DVOM in AC volt scale. Set scan tool to measure frequency. Voltage and frequency measurements must be measured simultaneously. While spinning right front wheel at a constant speed, measure voltage using DVOM, and frequency using scan tool connected between ABS control module connector terminals No. 4 (Yellow/Red wire) and No. 5 (Yellow/Black wire). See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Determine sensor output in millivolts/hertz. Output equals AC voltage/frequency.
