Signal Circuit Inspection

WARNING: This procedure is applied to vehicle with ABS (or ESP). In case of no ABS (or ESP), refer to "C1203 WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FRONT-RH OPEN/SHORT ".
  1. Check short to ground in harness
    1. IG "OFF"
    2. Disconnect PCM connector and ABS or EPS control module connector.
    3. Measure resistance between terminal 52 of PCM harness connector and chassis ground.

      Specification: Infinite

    4. Is the measured resistance within specifications?

      YES 

      • Go to step  2.

      NO 

  2. Check for open in harness
    1. Ignition "OFF"
    2. Disconnect PCM connector and ABS or ESP control module connector.
    3. Measure resistance between terminal "52" of PCM harness connector and terminal "14 (With ESP: terminal 40)" of ABS control module harness connector.

      Specification: Approx. below 1Ω

      NOTE: This picture is only applied to vehicle with ABS
    4. Is the measured resistance within specifications?

      YES 

      • Go to step  3.

      NO 

  3. Check wheel speed sensor
    1. IG "OFF"
    2. Check open or short in wheel speed sensor (Refer to "C1203 WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FRONT-RH OPEN/SHORT ")
    3. Is the wheel speed sensor normal?

    YES 

    • Substitute with a known-good PCM/ ABS or ESP control unit and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace PCM/ ABS or ESP control unit and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

    NO 

    NOTE: There is a memory reset function on scan tool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by PCM. After testing PCM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the PCM on the others
