Lexus NX: Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor RH (C1271,C1272,C1464,C1465)

Lexus NX Service Manual / Brake / Brake Control / Dynamic Control Systems / Electronically Controlled Brake System / Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor RH (C1271,C1272,C1464,C1465)

DESCRIPTION

Each speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the signals to the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly). These signals are used for ABS control.

DTCs C1271 and C1272 are cleared when the speed sensor sends a wheel speed signal or when Test Mode ends. DTCs C1271 and C1272 are output only in Test Mode.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION)

(a) Using the Techstream, check for any momentary interruptions in the wire harness and connector corresponding to a DTC.

Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Data List

Tester Display	Measurement Item	Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
FR Speed Open	Front speed sensor RH open detection	Error or Normal	Normal: Normal	Error: Momentary interruption
FL Speed Open	Front speed sensor LH open detection	Error or Normal	Normal: Normal	Error: Momentary interruption

2.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FRONT SPEED SENSOR)

(a) Select the Data List on the Techstream.

Click here

Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Data List

Tester Display	Measurement Item	Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
FR Wheel Speed	Front speed sensor RH	Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph)	Vehicle stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph)	When driving at constant speed: No large fluctuations
FL Wheel Speed	Front speed sensor LH	Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph)	Vehicle stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph)	When driving at constant speed: No large fluctuations

(b) Check the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream.

HINT:

Factors that affect the indicated vehicle speed include tire size, tire inflation, and tire wear. The speed indicated on the speedometer has an allowable margin of error. This can be tested using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer). For details about testing and the margin of error, see the reference chart.

OK:

The speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream is similar to the speed indicated on the speedometer.
