WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE
MEASUREMENT <VEHICLES WITHOUT ABS>
1.
Lift up the vehicle and release the parking brake.
2.
Disconnect the AYC-ECU harness connector and take
measurements on the harness side connector.
Caution
Insert the probe from the harness side with the double
lock of the connector unlocked. Inserting it to the
terminal side could result in poor contact.
3.
Turn the wheel to be tested at about 1/2 to one
revolution/sec. and check for the output voltage using
a circuit tester (AC mV range) or oscilloscope.

Output voltage:
When circuit tester is used: 70 mV or more
When oscilloscope is used: 200 mVp-p or more
(4) If the output voltage is lower than the above value, it
is probably attributable to the following faults. Check or
replace the wheel speed sensor as necessary.
D
Excessive clearance between the pole piece and rotor
of the wheel speed sensor
D
Defective wheel speed sensor
Waveform Check Using Oscilloscope
Check the harness and connector of the wheel speed sensor
for connection. Then, use an oscilloscope to check for output
voltage waveform of each sensor as follows.
Start the engine and monitor the sensor by turning the wheel;
for a driving wheel, let it turn by shifting into the 1st gear
and for a driven wheel turn it manually at a constant speed.
NOTE
(1) Waveform may be observed by actually running the
vehicle.
(2) The output voltage is low when the wheel speed remains
low and builds up as the wheel speed increases.
