RPT 000084.31 – Wheel Speed Sensor Malfunction

RPT 000084.31 (RPT 84.31)

Code: 000084.31

Shortcode: 84.31

Description:

This diagnostic trouble code, RPT 000084.31, is triggered when the CCU (Central Control Unit) control software detects an open circuit to the wheel speed sensor. This results in a transmitted replacement value, which generates the diagnostic trouble code in the RPT control software. When active, this fault also generates a diagnostic trouble code in the CCU control software, which takes priority over the RPT code.

Reaction:

When this error is detected, the functionality of the control software is significantly limited or entirely non-functional. This impacts the overall performance of the equipment, leading to reduced operational capability.

Recommendations:

Inspect Wheel Speed Sensor Wiring:

  • Check the wiring to the wheel speed sensor for any signs of an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace any damaged wires or connectors.

Verify Sensor Connections:

  • Ensure all connections to the wheel speed sensor are secure and free from corrosion or damage.
  • Reconnect any loose wires and clean any corroded connectors.

Test Sensor and Circuit:

  • Use diagnostic tools to test the wheel speed sensor and the associated circuit for continuity and proper operation.
  • Replace the sensor if it is found to be faulty.

Update Control Software:

  • Ensure that both the CCU and RPT control software are updated to the latest versions.
  • Apply any available patches or updates that address wheel speed sensor circuit issues.

Consult Technical Support:

  • If the issue remains unresolved, consult with technical support or the equipment manufacturer for further assistance.
  • Provide detailed diagnostic information to help identify the root cause.

Monitor System Performance:

  • After making the necessary repairs, monitor the system to ensure the fault does not recur.
  • Keep detailed logs of any further issues to aid in ongoing diagnostics.

Note:

The detection of an open circuit in the wheel speed sensor circuit emphasizes the need for thorough inspections and maintenance. Ensuring all components and connections are in good condition can prevent such malfunctions.
