DTC 15

DTC 15: Wheel Sensor (Open/Short to Body Ground/Short to Power)
1. Disconnect the VSA control unit 47P connector.
2. Start the engine.








3. Measure the voltage between body ground and the appropriate wheel sensor + B and GND terminals of the VSA control unit 47P connector individually (see table).
Is there 1 Volts or more?
YES - Repair short to power in the wire between the VSA modulator-control unit and the appropriate wheel sensor.
NO - Go to step 4.
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.








5. Check for continuity between body ground and the appropriate wheel sensor +B and GND terminals of the VSA control unit 47P connector individually (see table).
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 6.
NO - Go to step 8.
6. Disconnect the appropriate wheel sensor 2P connector.








7. Check for continuity between body ground and the appropriate wheel sensor + B and GND terminals of the VSA control unit 47P connector individually (see table).
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire between the VSA modulator-control unit and the wheel sensor.
NO - Replace the appropriate wheel sensor.
8. Disconnect the appropriate wheel sensor 2P connector.








9. Check for continuity between the appropriate wheel sensor + B and GND terminals of the VSA control unit 47P connector (see table).
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the wires between the VSA control unit and the wheel sensor.
NO - Go to step 10.





10. Substitute a known-good wheel sensor for the appropriate wheel sensor (see table).
11. Clear the DTCs using the HDS.
12. Disconnect the HDS from the 16P DLC.
13. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then turn it ON (II) again. Test-drive the vehicle at speeds above 19 mph (30 km/h).
Does the ABS indicator come on?
YES - Check for a loose VSA control unit 47P connector. If necessary, substitute a known-good VSA modulator-control unit, and recheck.
NO - Replace the original wheel sensor.
