C1278





BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C1415,C1277,C1278,C1416: Rear Speed Sensor RH Output Malfunction


DESCRIPTION

The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU. These signals are used for brake control.

The speed sensor rotors have rows of alternating N and S magnetic poles and their magnetic fields change when the rotors turn.

Each speed sensor detects that magnetic change and sends a pulse signal to the skid control ECU.









HINT
- DTCs C1415 and C1277 are for the rear speed sensor RH.
- DTCs C1416 and C1278 are for the rear speed sensor LH.
