VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1434

DTC Code DTC Name
C1434 Steering Angle Sensor Output Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

Steering sensor signals are sent to the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) via the CAN communication system. When there is a malfunction in the CAN communication system, it is detected by the steering sensor zero point malfunction diagnostic function.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1434 An error in communication between the skid control ECU and the steering sensor, or an abnormal steering sensor zero point.

  • ECU-B1 fuse

  • ECU-IG No. 2 fuse

  • Steering sensor power supply

  • Steering sensor

  • Steering control ECU

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • When replacing the steering sensor, confirm that the replacement part is of the correct specification.

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

Tech Tips

When any of the speed sensors or the yaw rate sensor assembly has trouble, DTCs for the steering sensor may be stored even when the steering sensor is normal. When DTCs for the speed sensors or yaw rate sensor assembly are output together with DTCs for the steering sensor, inspect and repair the speed sensor and yaw rate sensor assembly first, and then inspect and repair the steering sensor.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK DTC


    1. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    2. Turn the engine switch off.

    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG) again and check that no CAN communication system DTC is 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 sensor assembly DTCs are output Click here.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      No CAN communication system, speed sensor, or yaw rate sensor assembly DTCs are output A
      CAN communication system DTC is output (for LHD) B
      CAN communication system DTC is output (for RHD) C
      Speed sensor or yaw rate sensor assembly DTC is output D

      Tech Tips


      • If there is a malfunction in any of the speed sensors or the yaw rate sensor assembly, an abnormal value may be output although the steering sensor is normal.

      • If speed sensor and yaw rate sensor assembly DTCs are output simultaneously, repair these two sensors first, and then inspect the steering sensor.
