  1. CHECK FRONT SPEED SENSOR RH INSTALLATION 
    1. Check the front speed sensor RH installation.
      GTY453396Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      *1 Front Speed Sensor RH
      *a Correct
      *b Incorrect
      *c 8.5 N.m (87 kgf/cm, 75 in.lbf)
      *d No clearance

      OK

      There is no clearance between the front speed sensor RH and front steering knuckle RH.

      The installation bolt is tightened properly.

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REINSTALL OR REPLACE FRONT SPEED SENSOR RH. Refer to  REMOVAL [12/2019 - 10/2022]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [10/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK FRONT SPEED SENSOR RH (CHECK FOR FOREIGN MATTER) 
    1. Remove the front speed sensor RH.

      Refer to REMOVAL [12/2019 - 10/2022] , or refer to REMOVAL [10/2022 - ]

    2. Check the front speed sensor tip RH.

      OK

      The front speed sensor tip RH is free of scratches, oil, and foreign matter.

      NOTE:
      • If there is oil or foreign matter on the front speed sensor RH, clean the front speed sensor RH.
      • If the front speed sensor RH is damaged, replace the front speed sensor RH with a new one.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    CLEAN OR REPLACE FRONT SPEED SENSOR RH 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. READ VALUE USING GTS (FR WHEEL SPEED) 
    1. Start the engine.
    2. Perform a road test.
    3. Check the front speed sensor RH output value.

      Chassis > Brake/EPB > Data List 

      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      FR Wheel Speed Front wheel speed sensor RH reading Min.: 0.0 km/h (0.0 mph)
      Max.: 6553.5 km/h (4072 mph)
      Vehicle stopped: 0.0 km/h (0.0 mph) When driving at constant speed: No large fluctuations

      Chassis > Brake/EPB > Data List 

      Tester Display
      FR Wheel Speed

      OK

      The output value changes in accordance with the vehicle speed.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [12/2019 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FRONT SPEED SENSOR RH - BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connectors.

      OK

      The connector is securely connected.

    3. Disconnect the A39 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.
    4. Disconnect the A40 front speed sensor RH connector.
    5. Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

      OK

      No deformation or corrosion.

    6. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A40-1 (FR+) - A39-7 (FR+) Always Below 1 Ω
      A40-1 (FR+) or A39-7 (FR+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A40-2 (FR-) - A39-6 (FR-) Always Below 1 Ω
      A40-2 (FR-) or A39-6 (FR-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK FRONT SPEED SENSOR ROTOR RH (CHECK FOR FOREIGN MATTER) 
    1. Remove the component with the front speed sensor rotor RH.

      Refer to REMOVAL [12/2019 - 10/2022] , or refer to REMOVAL [10/2022 - 11/2023] , or refer to REMOVAL [11/2023 - ]

    2. Check the front speed sensor rotor RH.

      OK

      The front speed sensor rotor RH is free of scratches, oil, and foreign matter.

      NOTE:
      • If there is oil or foreign matter on the front speed sensor rotor RH, clean the front speed sensor rotor RH.
      • Do not use parts cleaner when cleaning the front speed sensor rotor RH.
      • If the front speed sensor rotor RH is damaged, replace the front speed sensor rotor RH with a new one.

      HINT: 

      • The front speed sensor rotor RH is incorporated into the front axle hub sub-assembly RH.
      • If the front speed sensor rotor RH needs to be replaced, replace it together with the front axle hub sub-assembly RH.
