1.0 THEORY
Discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879, the Hall effect refers to the occurrence of an electric field when a
conductor carrying an electric current is positioned in a stationary magnetic field. Perpendicular with respect to the
current flow as well as the magnetic field's alignment, the voltage vector across the conductor is termed Hall
voltage (UH) after its discoverer.

Figure 1: Example of a camshaft sensor using Hall sensor

The Hall Sensor perform the following functions:

1. Reference the first cylinder (in terms of fuel injection start, knock control, ignition control) in
coordination with the crankshaft sensor

2. Registration of ignition parameters

3. Registration of transmission output speed.

4. Active speed sensing in ABS systems.

The output of the Hall sensor could be recognized by square shape signal of Voltage vs Time graph as shown in
Figure 2 below:

3.0 PROCEDURES/ METHODOLOGY

1. TROUBLESHOOTING PRECAUTIONS
(a) When there is a malfunction with terminal contact points or part installation problems, removal and
installation of the suspected problem parts may return the system to the normal condition either completely or
temporarily.
(b)In order to determine the malfunctioning area, be sure to check the conditions at the time the
malfunction
occurred, such as DTC output and the Freeze Frame Data, and record it before disconnecting each connector or
removing and installing parts.
(c)Since the system may be influenced by malfunctions in systems other than the brake control system,
be sure
to check for DTCs in other systems.

2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
(a) Do not remove or install electronically controlled brake system parts such as the steering angle sensor,
yaw
rate and acceleration sensor or brake pedal stroke sensor except when required, as they cannot be adjusted
correctly after removal or installation.
(b)Be sure to perform preparation before work and confirmation after work is completed by following the
directions in the repair manual when working on the electronically controlled brake system.
(c)Be sure that the power switch is off when removing and installing the ECU, actuator, each sensor, etc.
unless
it is specified otherwise in the inspection procedure.
(d)If the brake booster with master cylinder (skid control ECU and brake actuator) or a sensor has been
removed and installed, it is necessary to check the system for problems after the parts have been reassembled.
Check for DTCs using the Techstream, also check that system functions and signals received by the ECU are
normal using Test Mode.
(e) If the brake pedal is depressed before the brake control system is prepared to operate, the pedal stroke
may
seem unusually long or short. This is due to the fact the stroke simulator cut solenoid has not yet operated and is
not a malfunction.
After the power switch is turned on (IG) or the brake pedal is depressed twice or more, the stroke simulator will
operate and the brake pedal stroke will remain consistent. SETTING THE

VEHICLE

1. Remove all the wheel rim cap

2. Loosen the wheel nut of all tires.

3. Ensure stable point is positioned to the vehicle lifter arm to prevent roll & fall.

4. Always keep lift area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash and other debris.

5. Lift the vehicle about 0.5m height to unscrew all the wheel nut of all tires. NEVER raise vehicle with
anyone inside it.

6. Remove all tires from the vehicle.

7. Lift the vehicle until the maximum height of student (Technician assistance is required). Make sure the
hear locking sound of the lifter before starting the next procedure.

Note: before subsequent lift.

ABS VEHICLE LAYOUT CHECK

8. Find the wheel speed sensor at front wheel according to the illustration in Figure 5.

9. Take picture and insert it in the appropriate section of Appendix.

7
 10. Repeat step 8 to 9 to the rear wheel.

ABS SYSTEM CHECK BY USING SCAN TOOL

11. Connect EBDII to scanner tool socket to the DLC (Diagnose Link Connector) on the vehicle.

12. Select the diagnose on the screen.

13. Set up the EBDII scanner tool and enter the vehicle information (Make & Model).

14. Select “System Select”, then “Chassis”, then “ABS”.

15. Next, Select “Read trouble code.

16. Capture the picture of trouble code and insert it in appropriate section in Appendix.

ABS SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING

17. After the error has been found, find the faulty part.

18. Capture the actual condition of the faulty part and insert it in appropriate section in Appendix.

19. Repair it, and capture the photo of it after countermeasure step is taken and insert it in appropriate section
in Appendix 1.
