Checking the vehicle speed signal




- Ignition off.
- Raise the car.
- Remove the front wheels during the test.
- Engine idling.
- Go into scrolling values.
- Read off the speed.
- Shift the gear selector to position D so the front wheels begin to rotate.
Check that the speed increases with engine speed (RPM).

Note! Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may be stored in the ABS system when the rear wheels are stationary and the front wheels rotate. Erase any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the ABS system after fault-tracing.

Note! Ensure that the front wheels are stationary when the gear selector is moved.
