DTC C1401: Front Speed Sensor RH Malfunction; DTC C1271: Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor RH (Test Mode DTC); DTC C1272: Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor LH (Test Mode DTC); DTC C1402: Front Speed Sensor LH Malfunction [08/2013 - ]: Description

The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid). These signals are used for brake control.

HINT:

When the connectors between the speed sensor and skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) are connected, the following waveform is output.

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1401 C1402	One of the following conditions is met: At a vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, the output voltage from one of the speed sensors is less than that from the other sensors for 15 seconds or more. At a vehicle speed of less than 10 km/h (6 mph), the output from one of the speed sensors is 0 km/h (0 mph) for 1 second or more. At a vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, the outputs from both front speed sensors are 0 km/h (0 mph) for 15 seconds or more.
