The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:

When diagnosing a wheel speed sensor concern it may be found that the 12 volt Wheel Speed Sensor Supply Voltage circuit from the EBCM has no voltage.  This may incorrectly lead to the replacement of the EBCM because there is no voltage to the WSS.  When the EBCM has a fault with a WSS, it internally turns off the supply voltage to the WSS.

Note: The only part of this PI that applies to the Vans or HD pickups is Step 2 under the Recommendation.

Recommendation/Instructions:

Below are some additional diagnostic tips to help diagnose WSS concerns after the SI ″Circuit Testing″ has been performed:

Note: These tests should only be performed after the SI2000 ″Circuit/System Testing″ is complete; and prior to an EBCM replacement.

  1. To test for the ″12 volt Wheel Speed Sensor Supply Voltage″ from the EBCM with a WSS fault present, perform the following test (This step does not apply to the Vans or HD pickups).
  • Component Testing of the Wheel Speed Sensor (Applies to All Models Listed)

    Note: This procedure is very polarity sensitive and if the WSS is connected in reverse polarity while performing the below procedure the WSS can be permanently damage. Please make sure the B+ is connected to the WSS Supply Voltage and the ground (Fluke 87 DVOM) to the WSS Low Signal Return. Use the appropriate SI wiring diagrams to determine the WSS Supply Voltage and WSS Low Signal Return.


  • Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
