Vehicle Speed Sensor "A" No Signal (P050031)
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles, which are equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Brake System), detect the vehicle
speed using the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) and speed sensors. Each
speed sensor monitors the wheel rotation speed and sends a signal to the skid control
ECU. The skid control ECU con ...

1. INSPECT 3RD GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the 3rd gear thrust clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.200 to 0.490 mm (0.0079 to 0.0192 in.)
If the clearance is outside the specification, replace the 3rd gear,
thrust washer, c ...

1. INSPECT REAR AXLE SHAFT
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of the shaft and flange.
Maximum runout:
Shaft runout: 1.5 mm (0.0591 in.)
Flange runout: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the rear axle shaft or flange is damaged or worn, or the runout is greater
