Circuit/System Description

The wheel speeds are detected by active wheel speed sensors and encoder rings. The encoder ring consists of permanent magnets. Each wheel speed sensor receives a 12 V reference voltage from the electronic brake control module (EBCM) and provides an alternating current square wave signal to the EBCM. As the wheel spins, the EBCM uses the frequency of the square wave signal to calculate the wheel speed.

Conditions for Running the DTC

C0035 06, C0040 06, C0045 06, and C0050 06

Ignition ON


C0035 0F, C0040 0F, C0045 0F, and C0050 0F

Ignition ON

Vehicle speed is greater than 12.9 km/h (8 MPH)



C0035 18, C0040 18, C0045 18, and C0050 18

Ignition ON

Vehicle speed is greater than 6 km/h (3.7 MPH)



C0035 5A, C0040 5A, C0045 5A, and C0050 5A

Ignition ON

Vehicle speed is greater than 1.5 km/h (0.9 MPH)


Conditions for Setting the DTC

C0035 06, C0040 06, C0045 06, and C0050 06

A short to voltage or short to ground on the wheel speed sensor 12 V reference or low reference circuit is detected for 0.1 s.

C0035 0F, C0040 0F, C0045 0F, and C0050 0F

An erratic wheel speed sensor signal is detected.

C0035 18, C0040 18, C0045 18, and C0050 18

A missing wheel speed sensor signal is detected for 3-10 s.

C0035 5A, C0040 5A, C0045 5A, and C0050 5A

An open/high resistance on the wheel speed sensor 12 V reference or low reference circuit is detected for 0.75-3.75 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The EBCM disables the ABS, traction control, stability control and hill start assist for the duration of the ignition cycle.

The ABS indicator turns ON.

The traction control/stability control-active indicator turns ON.


Conditions for Clearing the DTC


A current DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

The EBCM will turn OFF the indicator in the next ignition cycle.


Diagnostic Aids


Do not use a magnet to clean the encoder ring.

If 2 or more wheel speed sensors are inoperative, diagnose each wheel speed sensor individually.

If the customer comments that the ABS indicator is ON only during moist environmental conditions (rain, snow, vehicle wash, etc.), inspect the wheel speed sensor wiring for signs of water intrusion. If the DTC is not current, clear all DTCs and simulate the effects of water intrusion by using the following procedure:

1. Spray the suspected area with a 5% saltwater solution.

2. Test drive the vehicle over various road surfaces (bumps, turns, etc.), above 40 km/h (25 MPH) for at least 30 s.

3. Rinse the area thoroughly when completed.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Wheel Speed Sensor parameters. The reading should be the same speed on all sensors when driving in a straight line at a speed greater than 20 km/h (13 MPH).

Circuit/System Testing


1. Inspect the appropriate wheel speed sensor for contamination, physical damage and correct installation.

2. If contamination, physical damage or incorrect installation is diagnosed, repair or replace the wheel speed sensor.
