Speed Sensor Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Rotor Speed Sensor S Magnet N
Coil

To ECU Low Speed High Speed +V

The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used for control of both the ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC control system. The front and rear rotors each have 48 serrations. When the rotors rotate, the magnetic field emitted by the permanent magnet in the speed sensor generates an AC voltage. Since the frequency of this AC voltage changes in direct proportion to the speed of the rotor, the frequency is used by the ECU to detect the speed of each wheel.

DTC Detecting Condition Detection of any of conditions 1. through 4.: 1. At vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, pulses are not input for 15 sec. 2. Momentary interruption of the speed sensor signal occurs at least 7 times in the time between switching the ignition switch ON and switching it OFF. 3. Continuous noise occurs into the speed sensor signals with the vehicle speed at 20 km/h (12 mph) or more. 4. The condition that the speed sensor signal circuit is open continues for 0.12 sec. or more.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: Start the inspection from step 1 in case of using the LEXUS handheld tester and start from step 2 in case of not using the LEXUS handheld tester.

Check output value of speed sensor.

PREPARATION: (a) Connect the LEXUS handheld tester to the DLC3. (b) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the LEXUS handheld tester main switch ON. (c) Select the DATALIST mode on the LEXUS handheld tester. CHECK: Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the LEXUS handheld tester and the speed value displayed on the speedometer when driving the vehicle. OK: There is almost no difference from the displayed speed value. HINT: There is tolerance of 10 % in the speedometer indication. OK Go to step 4.

NG

Check speed sensor.

Front: PREPARATION: (a) Make sure that there is no looseness at the connector lock part and connecting part of the connector. (b) Disconnect speed sensor connector. CHECK: S LH side: Measure resistance between terminals 2 and 4 of speed sensor connector. S RH side: Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of speed sensor connector. OK: Resistance: 0.92 1.22 k CHECK: S LH side: Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 3 of speed sensor connector and body ground. S RH side: Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of speed sensor connector and body ground.

(REFERENCE) INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE PREPARATION: (a) Remove the ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC ECU with connector still connected. (b) Connect the oscilloscope to the each of terminals FR+ FR, FL+ FL, RR+ RR or RL+ RL of the ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC ECU. CHECK: Drive the vehicle at about 20 km/h (12 mph), and check the signal waveform. HINT: S As the vehicle speed (rpm of the wheels) increase, a cycle of the waveform becomes shorter and the fluctuation in the output voltage becomes greater. S When noise is identified in the waveform on the oscilloscope, error signals are generated due to the speed sensor rotors scratches, looseness or foreign matter deposited on it. OK Check and replace ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC ECU.
