DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU assembly inputs steering sensor signals via the CAN communication. When a malfunction occurs in the communication line with the steering sensor, DTC U0126 (Lost Communication with Steering Angle Sensor Module) is output.
| DTC Code | INF Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1231 | 341 | Steering sensor stuck malfunction. |
|
| ↑ | 343 | Steering sensor malfunction signal is received when data transmission is valid (internal malfunction is detected in sensor self check). | Steering sensor |

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
Tech Tips
When U0126 is output together with C1231, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by U0126 first Click here.
When the speed sensor or the yaw rate sensor is malfunctioning, DTCs for the steering angle sensor may be output even when the steering sensor is normal. When DTCs for the speed sensor or yaw rate sensor are output together with DTCs for the steering angle sensor, inspect and repair the speed sensor and yaw rate sensor first, and then inspect and repair the steering sensor.
PROCEDURE
CHECK DTC
Clear the DTCs Click here.
Turn the power switch off.
Turn the power switch on (IG) again and check that no CAN communication system DTC is output (for LHD: See page , for RHD: Click here.
Drive the vehicle at a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) and turn the steering wheel to the right and left and check that no speed sensor and/or yaw rate sensor DTCs are output Click here.

Tech Tips
If there is a malfunction in the speed sensor or the yaw rate sensor, an abnormal value may be output although the steering sensor is normal.
If speed sensor and yaw rate sensor DTCs are output simultaneously, repair these 2 sensors and inspect the steering sensor.
