Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information

Condition




Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ABS-311, ABS-312, ABS-313 or ABS-314 is stored if the control module registers a fault in the wheel sensor circuit.

Substitute value
- The ABS function is disengaged.
- If a wheel is under ABS control and a wheel sensor fault for the wheel occurs, the ABS system is disengaged immediately.
- If more than one wheel is under the ABS control and a wheel sensor fault occurs, the ABS system is disengaged when the ABS control ceases.

Possible source
- Open-circuit in the signal cable (+) or signal cable (-).
- The sensor is dislodged from its mounting.
- The sensor is not installed.
- Short-circuit to +12 V in the signal cable.
- Short-circuit to ground in the signal cable.
- Defective wheel sensor.
- Contact resistance in the terminals.

Fault symptom[s]
- The ABS warning lamp lights.
- There is a risk of wheel lock-up when braking if the ABS system is disengaged.

Hint: If the fault is intermittent, the ABS warning lamp will go out the next time the vehicle speed exceeds 12 km/h the next time the ignition is switched on. If the fault is an intermittent open-circuit, the ABS warning lamp will go out the next time the ignition is switched on.
