VARIABLE GEAR RATIO STEERING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1595/55, C15C4/68

DTC Code DTC Name
C1595/55 Lost Communication with Steering Angle Sensor Module
C15C4/68 Steering Angle Signal (Test Mode DTC)

DESCRIPTION

Signal transmission between the steering control ECU and steering angle sensor is performed via serial communication.

If an error occurs between them in the serial communication, the ECU will store DTC C1595/55.

DTC Code Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1595/55 The steering control ECU detects an error in serial communication between the ECU and steering angle sensor

  • Steering angle sensor

  • Steering control ECU

  • Harness or connector
C15C4/68 A steering signal indicating a tire angle of 36° or more (to the left or right) is input after transfer to test mode*

  • Steering angle sensor

  • Steering control ECU

  • Harness or connector

Tech Tips

*: A tire angle of 36° and a motor rotation angle of 36° correspond to the steering wheel angle. The amount of change in tire angle and motor rotation angle is from when the mode is changed to test mode.

  2. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR


    1. Check if a steering angle sensor that complies with the vehicle specifications is installed.

      OK
      A steering angle sensor that complies with the vehicle specifications is installed.

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEERING CONTROL ECU - STEERING ANGLE SENSOR)

    A01GZ3NE01

    1. Disconnect the A41 steering control ECU connector.

    2. Disconnect the L21 steering angle sensor connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A41-10 (SS1-) - L21-7 (SS1-) Always Below 1 Ω
      A41-19 (SS1+) - L21-8 (SS1+)
      A41-19 (SS1+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A41-10 (SS1-) - Body ground
      A41-19 (SS1+) - A41-10 (SS1-)

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  4. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR


    1. A01GYPJE02

      Disconnect the A41 steering control ECU connector.

      Tech Tips

      The voltage must be measured after the steering angle sensor connector is connected.

    2. Move the shift lever to neutral.

    3. Jack up the vehicle.

    4. Check the waveform of the steering angle sensor using an oscilloscope.

      Standard voltage
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      A41-19 (SS1+) - A41-10 (SS1-) Power switch ON (IG), steering wheel rotated slowly

      Pulse generation

      (0 to 5 V)

      Tech Tips

      The output voltage should fluctuate up and down similarly to the diagram when the wheel is turned slowly.
