WHEEL SPEED SENSORS (WSS)
Turn off the power to the module, disconnect
the wheel speed sensor connector.
If Dynamic WSS DTCs are present:
Rotate the affected wheel and verify a minimum
of 0.25 VAC sensor output @ 0.5 RPS across the
wheel speed sensor pins. A properly positioned
sensor	can	output	more	than	2.0	VAC	@	1	RPS
Verify/inspect the following:
• Speed sensors properly contact the tone ring.
• The condition and retention force of the sensor 
sleeve.
• Proper sensor lead condition, routing and
clamping sleeve.
• Condition	of	tone	ring	mounting	and	teeth.
• Proper number of tone ring teeth per sensed 
wheel.
• Proper adjustment of wheel bearings.
• Condition	of	foundation	brakes.
• Check	for	corroded/damaged	wiring	or	
connectors between the ECU and the WSS.
Make repairs as needed (replace wiring and/or ABS
components).
Reset	active	DTC’s	by	using	any	of	the	following	
methods:
• Blink	Code	Diagnostics,	Section	20.
• PC	diagnostics,	Section	23.
• Bendix	Remote	Trailer	Diagnostic	Unit	(TRDU)	
and magnet, Section 23.
• Bendix

Trailer Information Module, Section 23.
(If you do not reset manually, typically these will reset
automatically after a power cycle and the vehicle has
been driven for a period of time.)
Then	rerun	the	power	up	sequence.	Go	to	Section	A.
If Static WSS DTCs are present:
Using a volt/ohm meter to measure the connector
pins of the sensor with a DTC, verify 950-1950
OHMS	across	the	sensor	connector	pins.
Verify/inspect the following:
• No	continuity	from	sensor	connector	pins	to	
ground.
• Vbat not measured at either sensor connector
pins.
• Verify there is no continuity between the sensor
leads and other sensors.
• Sensor/ECU wiring and connectors are not
damaged or corroded.
• Proper sensor wire routing and clamping.
Make repairs as needed (replace wiring and/or ABS 
components).
Reset	active	DTC’s	by	using	any	of	the	following	
methods:
• Blink	Code	Diagnostics,	Section	20.
• PC	diagnostics,	Section	23.
• Bendix	Remote	Trailer	Diagnostic	Unit	(TRDU)	
and magnet, Section 23.
• Bendix

Trailer Information Module, Section 23.
Then check for Dynamic WSS DTCs, see left
column.
Then	rerun	the	power	up	sequence.	Go	to	Section	A.
Note: Both Static and Dynamic WSS DTCs may be present:
