DIAGNOSTICS CHART WITH DIAGNOSIS CONNECTOR
Step
1 CHECK IF THE WHEELS HAVE TURNED
FREELY.
Check if the wheels have been turned freely for
more than one minute, such as when the vehi-
cle is jacked-up, under full-lock cornering or
when tire is not in contact with road surface.
2 CHECK TIRE SPECIFICATIONS.
Are the tire specifications correct?
3 CHECK WEAR OF TIRE.
Is the tire worn excessively?
4 CHECK TIRE PRESSURE.
Is the tire pressure correct?
5 CHECK INSTALLATION OF ABS SENSOR.
Tightening torque:
33 ± ± ± ± 10 N·m (3.3 ± ± ± ± 1.0 kgf-m, 24 ± ± ± ± 7 ft-lb)
Are the ABS sensor installation bolts tightened
securely?
6 CHECK ABS SENSOR GAP.
Measure tone wheel to pole piece gap over
entire perimeter of the wheel.
Is the measured value within the specified
range?
7 CHECK OSCILLOSCOPE.
Is an oscilloscope available?
8 CHECK ABS SENSOR SIGNAL.
1) Raise all four wheels of ground.
2) Turn ignition switch OFF.
3) Remove VDCCM connector cover. <Ref. to
VDC-19, VDCCM Connector Cover.>
4) Connect the oscilloscope to the connector.
5) Turn ignition switch ON.
6) Rotate wheels and measure voltage at
specified frequency. <Ref. to ABS-15,
WAVEFORM, Control Module I/O Signal.>
NOTE:
When this inspection is completed, the VDCCM
sometimes stores the DTC 29.

code.
NOTE:
When the wheels
turn freely for a
long time, such as
when the vehicle is
towed or jacked-
up, or when steer-
ing wheel is contin-
uously turned all
the way, this trou-
ble code may
sometimes occur.

Replace tire. Go to step 4.
Go to step 5. Adjust tire pres-

Go to step 6. Tighten ABS sen-
sor installation
bolts securely.
Go to step 7. Adjust the gap.
NOTE:
Adjust the gap us-
ing spacer (Part
No. 26755AA000).
If spacers cannot
correct the gap, re-
place worn sensor
or worn
wheel.
