C1275






BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C1237, C1275-C1278; Speed Sensor Rotor Faulty; 2013 MY FR-S [03/2012 -]
C1237 - Speed Sensor Rotor Faulty
C1275 - Abnormal Change in Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor RH (Test Mode DTC)
C1276 - Abnormal Change in Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor LH (Test Mode DTC)
C1277 - Abnormal Change in Output Signal of Rear Speed Sensor RH (Test Mode DTC)
C1278 - Abnormal Change in Output Signal of Rear Speed Sensor LH (Test Mode DTC)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) measures the speed of each wheel by receiving signals from the speed sensor.

These signals are used for recognizing that all four wheels are operating properly.

Therefore, all wheel signals must be equal.

DTCs C1275 to C1278 are cleared when the speed sensor sends a vehicle speed signal or when Test Mode ends. DTCs C1275 to C1278 are output only in Test Mode.





HINT
* DTC C1275 is for the front speed sensor RH.
* DTC C1276 is for the front speed sensor LH.
* DTC C1277 is for the rear speed sensor RH.
* DTC C1278 is for the rear speed sensor LH.

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform VSC sensor neutral memorization Programming and Relearning.

HINT
When C1330, C1331, C1332, C1333, C1464, C1465, C1466 and/or C1467 is output together with C1237, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by C1330, C1331, C1332, C1333, C1464, C1465, C1466 and/or C1467 first C1271 for front, and/or C1273 for rear).

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK TIRES

(a) Check the size and condition of all four wheels Component Tests and General Diagnostics.

HINT
The DTC is output when tire deformation or a difference in tire size is detected.

OK:

The diameter of all four tires and the tire pressure are the same.

NG -- REPLACE TIRES SO THAT ALL FOUR TIRES ARE THE SAME SIZE
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (SPEED SENSOR)

(d) 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 pressure, 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 Component Tests and General Diagnostics.
