Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) determines engine misfire by detecting variations in crankshaft speed. Crankshaft speed variations can also occur when a vehicle is operating over a rough road. The wheel speed sensor produces an alternating current (AC) voltage that increases with wheel speed. The ECM receives a rough road signal from an electronic brake control module (EBCM), if equipped with the anti-lock brake system (ABS). The ABS can determine if the vehicle is on a rough road surface based on the signal from each wheel speed sensor. On vehicles with Non-ABS, a rough road signal is sent from a wheel speed sensor located at the left front wheel to the ECM. The ECM can determine if the vehicle is on a rough road surface based on the signal from the wheel speed sensor. When the ECM detects a rough road condition, misfire diagnostics will be disabled. If the ECM detects an incorrect rough road signal, this DTC sets.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P1382 Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | DTC P0501 is not set. |
| • | Vehicle speed is higher than 10 km/h (6.21 mph). |
| • | DTC P1382 runs continuously once the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM does not detect a rough road signal for more than 30 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
| • | The ECM will store conditions which were present when the DTC was set as Failure Records data only. |
| • | This information will not be stored in the Freeze Frame data. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without a fault. |
| • | DTCs can be cleared by using the scan tool. |
| • | Disconnect the ECM battery feed for more than 10 seconds. |
Diagnostic Aids
If the wheel speed sensor harness is damaged in any way, DO NOT repair the harness.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Intermittent Conditions .
