Right wheel speed sensor issue

Post by kyleivanblake »

Hello, I am getting

Code: C0034 - Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor

Additional Fault (:15)
- circuit short to battery or open

Status (-AB)
-DTC present at time of request
-malfunction indicator lamp is on for the DTC

I’ve checked the wire going to the sensor connector as far as I can trace it.

The Scope in Forscan is stuck at 255 for the right, and stays at 0 on the left.

I took the sensor out and unplugged it, still stuck at 255, if I short the connection it doesn’t even flinch, stays at 255.

Any ideas what further testing I can do?

i would just replace the sensor sounds like its gone bad , its looking for a specific resistance when it does it check so leaving it open or shorting it gives the same code , as it says open or shorted.
i am the same as you just a forscan user still learning .
The search function is there for a reason use it.
no you can no longer pm me with your 1 or 0 posts so dont try.

Shouldn’t open read 0kmph and not 255? It’s reading shorted.

When I close the circuit it still reads 255….

It did turn out to be the wheel sensor. Thanks.

Now if I can get a spare key programmed for this 2014 fusion, I don’t think PATS works yet for it.
