Inspection Procedure

Disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E33 and wheel sensor of malfunctioning code.

Check the terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness or damage.

OK or NG 

OK: GO TO 2.

NG: Repair or replace as necessary.

1. Connect ABS active wheel sensor tester (J-45741) to wheel sensor using appropriate adapter.
2. Turn on the ABS active wheel sensor tester power switch.
   NOTE: The green POWER indicator should illuminate. If the POWER indicator does not illuminate, replace the battery in the ABS active wheel sensor tester before proceeding.
3. Spin the wheel of the vehicle by hand and observe the red SENSOR indicator on the ABS active wheel sensor tester. The red SENSOR indicator should flash on and off to indicate an output signal.
   NOTE: If the red SENSOR indicator illuminates but does not flash, reverse the polarity of the tester leads and retest.

Does the ABS active wheel sensor tester detect a signal? 

YES: GO TO 3.

NO: Replace the wheel sensor. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

Check for inflation pressure, wear and size of each tire. Refer to "SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS (SDS) ".

Are tire pressure and size correct and is tire wear within specifications? 

YES: GO TO 4.

NO: Adjust tire pressure or replace tire(s).

Check wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to "FRONT WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION " or "REAR WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION ".

OK or NG 

OK: GO TO 5.

NG: Repair or replace as necessary. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION " (front) or "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION " (rear).

1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector and wheel sensor connector of malfunction code No.
2. Check continuity between wheel sensor harness connector terminals and ground.

   Continuity should not exist. 

OK or NG 

OK: GO TO 6.

NG: Repair the circuit.
