Wheel Speed Sensor: Service and Repair
Output Voltage Measurement
With ABS
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
Required Special Tool:
MB991219: Inspection Harness
1. Lift up the vehicle and release the parking brake.
2. Disconnect the ABS-ECU connector, and then use special tool MB991219 to measure the output voltage at the harness side connector.
3. Manually turn the wheel to be measured 1/2 to 1 turn/second. Measure the output voltage with a voltmeter or oscilloscope.
Output voltage:
^
Minimal voltmeter reading: 42 mV
^
Maximum voltmeter reading: 300 mV
^
Minimal oscilloscope reading: 120 mV
^
Maximum oscilloscope reading: 600 mV
Probable causes of low output voltage
^
Wheel speed sensor pole piece-to-ABS rotor clearance too large
^
Faulty wheel speed sensor
NOTE: Check the connection of the sensor harness and connector before using the oscilloscope.
4. To observe the waveform with an oscilloscope:
^
Front Wheels: Shin into low gear and drive the wheels.
^
Rear Wheels: Turn the wheels manually at a constant speed.
