How the car detects it
C0512 is the open-circuit code for the right rear wheel. GM's 2016 hybrid tables run the check only after the sensor self-test has finished and system voltage is above 6.9 V; then 0.12 s with less than 3.8 mA flowing in the signal wire is enough for a Type A entry. The XT4 section of GM's 2019 tables words the same test as a ground short or interruption and monitors the supply line separately. Mitsubishi assigns C1067-13 to C0512 with a delay of at most one second and lists harness, sensor and the brake unit's power feed as suspects. Because an active sensor modulates a two-wire current, as Bosch describes it, a reading near zero cannot be a slow wheel; it points to a broken lead, an unplugged connector or a dead sensor.
