C1027-LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL ERRATIC PERFORMANCE





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

NOTE: The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) may also be referred to as Electronic Stability Program (ESP) depending on the vehicle model year and configuration. Certain components may also reference ESP, ESC, or use the traction control symbol.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
When the Left Rear WSS Signal is intermittently missing a vehicle speed above 40 km/h (25 mph) or erratic wheel speed signal during acceleration or sensed wheel speed is different from other wheels.





1. DTC IS ACTIVE
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
3. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
4. Ignition on, engine not running.
5. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- The condition that caused the symptom is currently not present. Inspect the related wiring for a possible intermittent condition. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
- Perform the ABS-INTERMITTENT CONDITION TEST. ABS Intermittent Condition Test.

2. WHEEL SPEED SENSOR INSPECTION
