Make repairs to wiring or replace 
wheel speed sensor. Reconnect all 
connectors to the EC-30
™
controller
and sensor. Reset fault codes by 
briefl y holding a magnet in place at 
the RESET location of the diagnostic 
display. Then rerun the power up 
sequence. Go to Section A.
SEN LED and ABS
warning lamp are on.
Turn ignition off and remove the 30-pin 
or 18-pin connector from the EC-30
™
controller.
Static Wheel Speed Sensor Faults - Using 
a volt/ohm meter to measure the connector 
pins of the faulted sensor, verify 1500-2500 
OHMS across sensor connector pins. 
Verify no continuity from sensor connector 
pins to ground. Verify ignition power is 
not measured at either sensor connector 
pins. Check for corroded or damaged 
sensor and ECU wiring and connectors. 
Verify proper sensor lead routing and 
clamping. If a circuit fault is found, isolate 
the area needing repair by repeating the 
measurements at all connections in the 
wheel speed sensor circuit.
Wheel speed sensor fault identifi ed?
Dynamic Wheel Speed Sensor Faults - 
Rotate the effected wheel and verify for (a) 
WS-20 speed sensors, a minimum of 0.8 VAC 
sensor output @ 1 RPS across the wheel 
speed sensor pins, or (b) for WS-24 speed 
sensors, a minimum of 0.250 VAC @ 0.5 
RPS. A properly positioned sensor can output 
more than 2.0 VAC @ 1 RPS. Adjust speed 
sensors to contact tone ring. Verify condition 
and retention force of sensor clips. Verify 
proper sensor lead routing and clamping. Verify 
sensor leads are twisted pair. Verify condition 
of tone ring mounting and teeth. Verify proper 
number of tone ring teeth per sensed wheel. 
Verify proper adjustment of wheel bearings. 
Verify condition of foundation brakes.
Make repairs to wheel speed sensor 
installation. Reconnect all connectors 
to the EC-30
™
controller and sensor.
Reset fault codes by briefl y holding 
a magnet in place at the RESET 
location of the diagnostic display. 
Then rerun the power up sequence.
