DTC 11

DTC 11, 13, 15, 17: Wheel Sensor (Short to Power/Short to Body Ground/Open)
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector.
3. Start the engine.





4. Measure the voltage between body ground and the appropriate wheel sensor (+) and (-) terminals of the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector individually (see table).
Is there 0.1 V 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 5.

5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.





6. Check for continuity between body ground and the appropriate wheel sensor (+) and (-) terminals of the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector individually (see table).
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 7.
NO - Go to step 9.

7. Disconnect the appropriate wheel sensor 2P connector.





8. Check for continuity between body ground and the appropriate wheel sensor (+) and (-) terminals of the VSA modulator-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 wheel sensor.





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

10. Disconnect the appropriate wheel sensor 2P connector.





11. Check for continuity between the appropriate wheel sensor (+) and (-) terminals of the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector (see table).
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the wires between the VSA modulator-control unit and the wheel sensor.
NO - Go to step 12.





12. Measure the resistance between the (+) and terminals of the appropriate wheel sensor.
Is the resistance between 450 - 2,000 Ohms?
YES - Check for loose terminals in the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector. If necessary, substitute a known-good VSA modulator-control unit, and retest.
NO - Replace the wheel sensor.
