SPEED SENSORS ERROR PLAUSIBILITY ERROR

The diagnostic equipment signals one or more of the following errors: C1201 ADX speed sensor, plausibility error, C1206 ASX speed sensor, plausibility error, C1211 PDX speed sensor, plausibility error and/or C1216 PSX speed sensor, plausibility error

This error is signalled if the control unit does not detect problems of an electrical nature, but the speed of one of the wheels (transmitted by the sensor) is not plausible
