2. Remove appropriate connector from ECU. Find problematic
sensors pins. Set VOM to ohms “Ω” scale. Resistance must be
stable - no drifting of VOM readings permitted. Write values below. Ω Ω
Note that resistance values assume 12V Electrical System

6. Test 3-5 not OK? Go to step 7. Test 3-5 OK? Continue step 8.
If test 3-5 passed, wet harness. Assistant flexes wet sensor wire
harness from wheel to ECU connector. Repeat step 3-5.
7. Repair / Replace sensor of wire harness Ω
8. Check sensor output per instruction on Page 2

Wheel Speed Sensor Application: EC-60 ABS Wheel Speed In Cab
Diagnostic Trouble Codes Tools: Volt Ohm Meter Knowledge of: VOM use
CODES: Excessive Air Gap, Output Low at Drive-off, Loss of Sensor Signal, Erratic Sensor Signal
CAUSE: Poor speed signals to ECU.
LOOK FOR: Excessive gap, exciter ring run-out, improper bearing adjustment, wire rubbing or chafing,
loose sensor clip, non-twisted pair wires, electrical noise on sensor wires.
Bendix recommends twisted pair sensor harnesses to cancel electrical noise
Dynamic Sensor DTC’s
ü Best practice: perform “Sensor Static Fault ” checks and repairs prior to beginning Dynamic checks.
