When the Left Rear Wheel Speed Sensor circuit fails the diagnostic test.





1. CHECK FOR DTC C1020-LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT

NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
3. Cycle the ignition switch from off to on.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Does the scan tool display: C1020-LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Perform the ABS-INTERMITTENT CONDITION TEST ABS Intermittent Condition Test.

2. CHECK CONNECTOR/TERMINAL FOR DAMAGE

NOTE: Check all terminals for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
