INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration Component Tests and General Diagnostics.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RR/RL Speed Open)

ABS/VSC/TRAC:





(e) Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream and the speed value displayed on the speedometer when driving the vehicle.

HINT
Factors that affect the indicated vehicle speed include tire size, tire inflation, and tire wear. The speed indicated on the speedometer has an allowable margin of error. This can be tested using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer). For details about testing and the margin of error, see the reference chart Component Tests and General Diagnostics.

OK:

The speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream is the same as the actual vehicle speed measured using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer).
