Toyota Highlander C1233 OBD-II Diagnostic Chassis (C) Trouble Code Description Toyota Highlander car C1233 OBD-II Trouble Code The ABS module receives wheel speed readings from each wheel speed sensor and processes this information to determine if an ABS event is necessary. The wheel speed sensor detects the magnetic field of Reason For Toyota Highlander C1233 Code The reason of Toyota Highlander C1233 OBD-II Engine Trouble Code is C1233 Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Input Signal Missing.

You will not notice any change in driveability due to ABS sensor. On braking the computer will not be able to control the anti lock system as it can not read the Left front wheel speed. Only time you will hear a woo woo sound if the Wheel bearing goes bad and has play. Otherwise if you plug in a OBD II code reader you will find
Code C0035 for Left front Wheel Sensor Malfunction.

The VSC and Traction system are basically using the ABS to work. The most common issue is a failure of one of the wheel sensors for ABS. Would think the engine light will probably turn out to be for ABS failure code. Most auto parts stores, and some shops will read codes for no charge - so take it and see if the code does show as a failure in ABS system. Some code readers can not read the actual ABS computer to give you a detailed code of what is causing the issue - but if you can read detailed code it may lead you to exact issue.

Erratic signals come from the speed sensors(all that I found). At the sensors by the tires/CV axles. When I tear them apart (the bearings) they have fine metal around them. The causes the erratic signals. As you said, they seem normal at most points. But you have to watch and see where(the signal) they jump. Could be 2 MPH or 20 MPH. Replace that wheel bearing.

Error logs are a great thing. They will help you find intermittent problems and start you off in a general direction of where a problem could be. There is a great level of detail on the justcommodores site on checking error codes logged by the engine management system, but this does not detail anything about the abs system. The abs warning light is not as common as the check engine warning light. Reading through the posts, I haven't found any detail on checking error codes logged by the abs system.

So here it is. For those of you familiar with checking the engine error codes, this procedure is so simple its not funny.

Basically, to check the engine error log, you bridge the 5th (ground) and 6th pins in the ODB connector under the steering wheel.

To check the ABS error log, using the same trusty calibrated paper clip, you simply bridge pins 5 and 12 of the connector.

To find pins 5 and 12, start at the top left hand corner. That is pin one. Going to the right, you count pin 2,3,4 etc. Once you get to the end, jump back to the start of the bottom left level of pins and keep counting. Pin 5 is about halfway along the top row, pin 12 is a little left of the middle in the bottom row.

Reading the error codes is the same procedure (counting the flashes), except now, the ABS light flashes (as opposed to the engine light when checking the engine codes).

The ABS log also uses code 12 firstly, with any errors logged shown after that. If no errors are logged, the 12 will flash again.

Error codes for the ABS error log (VR/VS) are as follows:

12 Diagnostic system operational
21 Right hand front wheel speed sensor fault
23 Right hand front wheel speed sensor continuity fault
25 Left hand front wheel speed sensor fault
27 Left hand front wheel speed sensor continuity fault
28 Wheel speed sensor frequency error
31 Right hand rear wheel speed sensor fault
33 Right hand rear wheel speed sensor continuity fault
35 Left hand rear wheel speed sensor fault
37 Left hand rear wheel speed sensor continuity fault
41 Right hand front inlet solenoid valve circuit fault
42 Right hand front outlet solenoid valve circuit fault
45 Left hand front inlet solenoid valve circuit fault
46 Left hand front outlet solenoid valve circuit fault
55 Rear inlet solenoid valve circuit fault
56 Rear outlet solenoid valve circuit fault
61 Pump motor relay circuit fault
63 Valve relay circuit fault
71 ABS control module internal fault

The above guide has been verified on a VR/VS. Checking the error log on all models prior to VR/VS is the same for the engine log, and I would assume that the same can be said for the ABS log, would be happy if someone could verify this for me.

Check that the sensor /wire was not damaged in the repair process. As the brake system is set up in a cross pattern left front and right rear and right front and left rear the code is reading the pair that is subject to failure. This crossing of the brakes is so if you have a brake failure and loss of fluid then half of the system is still operational and will allow stopping in a straight line rather than a side skid.

Having the vehicle checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's would be a good first step . ABS light on codes are stored . Suggest you take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop that has the knowledge an testing equipment to diagnose the problem properly .

You can test the wheel speed sensors by unhooking the connectors and put ohmeter test leads on the sensor terminals should read around 1100-1600 ohms also the connectors themselves were bad for wires breaking inside the insulation at the connectors from flexing when the wheel is turned back and forth..Note excessive wheel bearing noise from bad bearings have also been known for interferring with clean abs signal also causing abs codes good luck
