Code 15: Faulty Wheel Speed Sensor Output

NOTE: If after all testing procedures have been completed system is not functioning properly, substitute ABS ECU with known good unit and retest.
  1. This code normally is set when Codes 11-14 are set. Test each sensor. See WHEEL SPEED SENSOR under COMPONENT TESTING. If all sensor voltages and resistances are within specification, go to next step. If any sensor is malfunctioning, replace sensor. See WHEEL SPEED SENSOR under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
  2. Check each wheel speed sensor-to-rotor gap. See WHEEL SPEED SENSOR under ADJUSTMENTS. If all gaps are within specification, go to next step. If any gaps are not within specification, adjust sensor-to-rotor gap.
  3. Inspect all wheel speed sensor rotors for damaged and missing teeth. Replace any damaged rotors. Using an oscilloscope, check waveform patterns. See Fig 1. If all rotors are okay, replace ECU and road test vehicle. Ensure trouble code does not reset.
