Correction

Do This

Don't Do This

Properly diagnose the wheel speed sensor.

Do not replace the EBCM or any other component(s) without first diagnosing.

Begin diagnostics with the component test procedure listed below. If the cause is not found, proceed to the Circuit/System Testing on the applicable Diagnostic Information and Procedures document for the vehicle you are working on. SI Diagnostic Information and Procedures are being revised to reflect this change in strategy.

  1. With the ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate wheel speed sensor.
  2. Test for 850-1350 ohms between the signal terminal A and the low reference signal terminal B. During the test, check for an intermittent circuit condition by gently moving the wheel speed sensor pigtail harness.
  3. If not within the specified range, replace the wheel speed sensor.

  4. Test for infinite resistance between each terminal and the steering knuckle. Reverse the test leads, test for infinite resistance between each terminal and the steering knuckle again.
  5. If less than the specified value, replace the appropriate wheel speed sensor.

  6. Spin the wheel while monitoring the voltage between the signal terminal A and the low reference terminal B. The voltage should be greater than 100 mV AC.
  7. If less than the specified range, replace the wheel speed sensor.

Warranty Information

For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the applicable bearing and hub assembly published labor code.
