| B |  | GO TO STEP 3 |
|
| 2. | READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FL WHEEL SPEED) |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Enter the following menus: Chassis / Brake/EPB / Data List.
Chassis > Brake/EPB > Data List| Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FL Wheel Speed | Front wheel speed sensor LH reading | Min.: 0.0 km/h (0.0 mph), Max.: 6553.5 km/h (4072 mph) | Vehicle stopped: 0.0 km/h (0.0 mph) | When driving at constant speed: No large fluctuations |

(d) Start the engine and perform a road test.
(e) Check that the value of FL Wheel Speed changes in accordance with vehicle speed when accelerating from 0 km/h to 20 km/h (0 mph to 12 mph).
OK:
The value of FL Wheel Speed changes in accordance with vehicle speed.
HINT:
If the result of the road test is within the specified range, it is possible that this DTC was stored due to a particular situation such as brake drag, wheelspin or wheel lockup.
| OK | | USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK |
