when vehicle is traveling > 6mph.
OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT
01 01 Red channel wheel speed sensor wiring S1A X Indicates a wheel speed sensor or its wiring
has a short or open circuit. Disconnect the
relevant sensor and measure the resistance
between the two pins in the sensor connector
housing.
02 Red channel wheel speed sensor wiring S1B X
03 Blue channel wheel speed sensor wiring S2A X
04 Yellow channel wheel speed sensor wiring S2B X
05 Blue channel wheel speed sensor wiring S3A X
06 Yellow channel wheel speed sensor wiring S3B X Verify extension continuity and connections.
Replace sensor and/or extension cable,
if necessary.
If the Ohm meter reading for the sensor and
extension cable is not between 980 - 2350
Ohm (.98K - 2.35K Ohm). replace sensor
and/or extension cable.
07 System OK (No Active Fault) ABS ECU is fully operational. Displays “07”

block clip should be replaced.
Verify extension continuity and connections.
Replace sensor and/or extension cable,
if necessary.
Inspect exciter teeth for minor damage
or teeth filled with debris. Verify all exciters
have the same number of teeth.
Verify sensor and valve wiring/plumbing
is correct.

question while rotating the wheel at a rate
of about one revolution every two seconds.
If the output is not at least 200 millivolts
(0.2 VAC) push in the sensor until it touches
the exciter and rotate the wheel again. If this
doesn’t correct the problem, the sensor and
sensor block clip should be replaced.
Inspect exciter teeth for minor damage or teeth
filled with debris. Verify all exciters have the
same number of teeth.
Verify tire and wheel size is large enough
for 100 tooth exciter ring. If these faults
re-occur at the same speed, inspect exciter ring
for damage. Smaller wheels and tires require
80 tooth exciter rings.
Verify sensor and valve wiring/plumbing
is correct.
