DTC 31 32 33 34 35 36 Speed Sensor Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the ap-
propriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used to control
both the ABS and TRAC control systems. The front and rear ro-
tors each have 48 serrations. When the rotors rotate, the mag-
netic field emitted by the permanent magnet in the speed sensor
generates an AC voltage. Since the frequency of this AC volt-
age changes in the direct proportion to the speed of the rotor,
the frequency is used by the ECU to detect the speed of each
wheel.

Detection of any of conditions (1) through (3):
(1) At vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or
     more, pulses are not input for 5 sec.
(2) Momentary interruption of he vehicle
     speed sensor signal occurs at least 7
     times in the time between switching the
     ignition switch ON and switching it OFF.
(3) Abnormal fluctuation of speed sensor sig-
     nals with the vehicle speed 20 km/H (12
     mph) or more.

HINT:  DTC No.31 is for the right front speed sensor.
         DTC No. 32 is for the left front speed sensor.
         DTC No.33 is for the right rear speed sensor.
         DTC No.34 is for the left rear speed sensor.

Fail safe function: If trouble occurs in the speed sensor circuit, the ECU cuts off current to the ABS
solenoid relay and prohibits ABS control.
