MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When the vehicle is being driven, if the value of the speed sensor which is outputting the lowest vehicle speed is significantly lower than the values of the other speed sensors, or the value of the speed sensor which is outputting the lowest vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph), the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) judges that the speed sensor is malfunctioning and illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

Also, when a wheel speed is being output (the wheel is not locked), if the output values of the speed sensors for 2 wheels are stuck at 0 km/h (0 mph), the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) judges that a speed sensor is malfunctioning and illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

10.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BRAKE BOOSTER WITH MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY - FRONT SPEED SENSOR LH)

(a) Turn the power switch off.

(b) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connectors.

OK:

The connector is securely connected.

(d) Disconnect the A48 front speed sensor LH connector.

(e) Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

OK:

No deformation or corrosion.

(f) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A45-31 (FL+) - A48-1 (FL+)	Always	Below 1 Ω
A45-31 (FL+) or A48-1 (FL+) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
A45-32 (FL-) - A48-2 (FL-)	Always	Below 1 Ω
A45-32 (FL-) or A48-2 (FL-) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

11.	CHECK FRONT SPEED SENSOR ROTOR LH (CHECK FOR FOREIGN MATTER)

(a) Remove the front speed sensor LH and the component with the front speed sensor rotor LH.
