Causes
- Mismatched tire size or section width (one or more tires different from others)
- Significant tire wear or damaged tire altering effective diameter
- Incorrect replacement tires, spare or temporary donut fitted
- Different wheel/rim diameter or offset changing effective circumference
- Incorrect tire pressure or severe underinflation on one wheel
- Snow chains, heavy mud, or debris trapped on a wheel
Symptoms
- ABS, VSC/ASC or traction control warning lamp illuminated
- Speedometer or odometer reading inconsistent or fluctuating
- Intermittent or constant traction/stability interventions
- Cruise control may be unavailable or switch off
- Possible steering pull or uneven braking felt during ABS activation
What to check
- Retrieve stored codes and freeze frame using a diagnostic scanner; note conditions when C1405 set
- Visually inspect all four tires and spare: sidewall markings (size), tread depth and condition
- Compare tire sizes and part numbers on all wheels; check for mismatched DOT size codes
- Measure tire pressures and inflate to specification; inspect for bulges, cuts or uneven wear
- Check for snow chains, mud, debris, or adhered items on wheels/tone rings
- Inspect wheels and rims for aftermarket sizing or different offsets
Signal parameters
- Wheel speed sensor waveform: clean, regular pulses proportional to wheel RPM
- Active sensors: typically a square wave 0–5/12 V; passive sensors: AC sine/triangle typically 0.1–1.5 V AC at low speed—amplitude increases with speed
- Pulse frequency should be the same for left/right axle at equal wheel RPM and proportional across all wheels for the same vehicle speed
- Tone ring pulses per revolution must match expected tooth count; a missing/extra pulse will alter computed speed
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a full-function diagnostic scanner; record C1405 and any related ABS/VSC codes and freeze-frame data.
- Visually compare tire sizes (example marking format: 205/55R16) and check tread depths; measure actual rolling circumference if available.
- Verify tire pressures and correct to manufacturer specs; re-check code after pressure correction and short drive.
- Inspect wheels, rims and tires for physical damage, mounted snow chains or debris; remove any debris and re-test.
- Inspect wheel speed sensors and tone rings: look for missing teeth, heavy rust, bent sensors, loose or corroded connectors.
- Using an oscilloscope or live-data on the scanner, compare wheel speed sensor waveforms and frequencies at low steady speed; identify any sensor producing different pulse rate for same vehicle speed.
- If a mismatched tire is confirmed, fit matching tires or replace incorrect tire(s). If tire/wheel is correct but signals differ, repair/replace faulty sensor or tone ring as required.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform a road test with scanner monitoring wheel speeds to confirm consistent readings and ensure C1405 does not return.
- If vehicle has been lifted or gearing modified, consult manufacturer for reprogramming/calibration of ABS/VSC as required.
Likely causes
- One tire replaced with a different size or profile
- Spare/temporary tire installed and driven several miles
- One wheel heavily underinflated or damaged (bubble, severe wear)
- Foreign material on wheel/tone ring or missing/damaged tone ring teeth
- Aftermarket wheels with different circumference or incorrect gearing effect
Fault status
Status
ABS/VSC detected inconsistent wheel speed consistent with inappropriate tire diameter; stability/traction functions may be limited.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours
