Pinpoint Test G: DTC C0031:11, 15; C0034:11, 15; C0037:11, 15; or C003A:11, 15

Normal Operation

Active wheel speed sensors generate a square wave signal that is sent to the ABS module. The wheel speed sensor circuits are connected to the ABS module through 2 wires and a connector at each wheel speed sensor. When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, the ABS module carries out a self-test by sending a reference voltage through the wheel speed sensor circuits and sensors.

Both voltage and ground are supplied to the active wheel speed sensors through the ABS module.





This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Wheel speed sensor
- Wheel speed sensor ring
- ABS module


PINPOINT TEST G: DTC C0031:11, 15; C0034:11, 15; C0037:11, 15 OR C003A:11, 15

NOTICE: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multi-meter probes.
