C1236

DTC C1236 FOREIGN MATTER IS ATTACHED ON TIP OF LEFT FRONT SENSOR

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION





DTC Detecting Condition:




The speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used to control the ABS control system. The front and rear rotors have 48 serrations respectively.

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. When foreign matter adheres to the speed sensor tip or sensor rotor, or the rotor teeth are chipped, these DTCs are output. An abnormal waveform input from the sensor determines these conditions.

These DTCs may be detected when a malfunction occurs in the connector terminals or wire harness of the speed sensor circuit.

HINT:
- DTC C1235/35 is for the right front speed sensor.
- DTC C1236/36 is for the left front speed sensor.
- DTC C1238/38 is for the right rear speed sensor.
- DTC C1239/39 is for the left rear speed sensor.
