DTC C0225 or C025 LF Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit Open P32
| Table 1: | WSS Temperature vs. Sensor Resistance |
Circuit Description
The wheel speed sensor coil emits an electromagnetic field. A toothed ring on the wheel passes by the wheel speed sensor and disrupts this electromagnetic field. The disruption in the field causes the wheel speed sensor to produce a sinusoidal (AC) voltage signal. The frequency and amplitude of the sinusoidal (AC) voltage signal are proportional to the speed of the wheel. The amplitude of the wheel speed signal is also directly related to the distance between the wheel speed sensor coil and the toothed ring. This distance is referred to as the air gap.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | No output signal from the left front wheel speed sensor for 1.0 second |
| • | Excessive left front wheel speed sensor resistance for 1.0 second |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The ABS indicator lamp turns on |
| • | The ABS disables |
DTC C0225 is a Condition Latched DTC, which indicates that the above actions remain true only as long as the condition persists.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | Repair the conditions responsible for setting the DTC |
| • | Use the Scan Tool |
Diagnostic Aids
Any of the following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:
| • | A poor connection |
| • | Wire insulation that is rubbed through |
| • | A wire breaks inside the insulation |
Thoroughly check any circuitry that is suspected of causing the intermittent complaint for the following conditions:
| • | Backed out terminals |
| • | Improper mating |
| • | Broken locks |
| • | Improperly formed or damaged terminals |
| • | Poor terminal to wiring connections |
| • | Physical damage to the wiring harness |
When inspecting a wheel speed sensor, inspect the sensor terminals and the harness connector for corrosion. If evidence of corrosion exists, then replace the wheel speed sensor. Refer to Wheel Speed Sensor Replacement .
Resistance of the wheel speed sensor will increase with an increase in sensor temperature. Refer to the following tables for temperature/resistance values.
°C | °F | Ohms |
|---|---|---|
Temperature vs Resistance Values (Approximate) | ||
-40 to 4 | -40 to 40 | 1575 to 2420 |
5 to 43 | 41 to 110 | 1980 to 2800 |
44 to 93 | 111 to 200 | 2250 to 3280 |
94 to 150 | 201 to 302 | 2750 to 3850 |
