VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1434

DTC Code DTC Name
C1434 Steering Angle Sensor Output Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives signals from the steering angle sensor (spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly) via CAN communication.

Tech Tips

If there is a malfunction in the bus lines between the steering angle sensor (spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly) and the CAN communication system, DTC U0126 (Lost Communication with Steering Angle Sensor Module) is output. When U0126 is output together with C1434, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by U0126 first.

DTCs may be stored if one of the following occurs:


DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1434

Any of the following is detected:


  1. The difference between the zero point stored in the steering angle sensor and the estimated zero point exceeds 15 deg..

  2. The offset value of the steering angle sensor is -13.5 deg. or less or 13.5 deg. or more.

  3. The steering angle sensor value exceeds a specified value for 0.3 seconds or more.

  4. The change of the steering angle sensor value within 0.02 seconds is abnormal.

  5. The steering angle sensor value changes by less than 5 deg. and both left and right turns have been recognized.

  6. There is a difference between the skid control ECU estimated value and the steering angle sensor value due to an abnormal steering angle sensor value.

  • Sensor installation

  • Steering angle sensor (spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly) power supply

  • Steering angle sensor (spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly)

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

Tech Tips


  • When U0073, U0123 and/or U0126 is output together with C1434, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by U0073, U0123 and/or U0126 first Click here.

  • When a speed sensor or the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (yaw rate sensor) is malfunctioning, DTCs for the steering angle sensor (spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly) may be stored even though the steering angle sensor (spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly) is normal. When DTCs for a speed sensor or yaw rate and acceleration sensor (yaw rate sensor) are output together with DTCs for the steering angle sensor (spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly), inspect and repair the speed sensor or yaw rate and acceleration sensor (yaw rate sensor) first, and then inspect and repair the steering angle sensor (spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly).

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK DTC


    1. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON again and check that no CAN communication system DTCs are output Click here.

    4. Start the engine.

    5. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) and turn the steering wheel to the right and left and then check that no speed sensor or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output Click here.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      No CAN communication system, speed sensor, or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output. A
      CAN communication system DTCs are output. B
      Speed sensor and/or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output. C

      Tech Tips


      • If a speed sensor or the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (yaw rate sensor) is malfunctioning, DTCs for the steering angle sensor (spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly) may be stored even though the steering angle sensor (spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly) is normal.

      • If speed sensor and yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output simultaneously, repair these malfunctions and then inspect the steering angle sensor (spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly).

  3. CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (BAT TERMINAL)


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Remove the steering wheel and column cover.

    3. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.

    4. Disconnect the D167 steering angle sensor (spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly) connector.
