DYNAMIC REAR STEERING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1597/43

DTC Code DTC Name
C1597/43 Lost Communication between VGRS and DRS

DESCRIPTION

The DRS ECU (rear steering control ECU) communicates with the VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU) via the local bus.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1597/43

All conditions are met for approximately 3 seconds or more:


  • 1 second or more elapses after turning the power switch on (IG).

  • The power source voltage is 10 to 16 V.

  • The signal from the VGRS ECU is lost (local bus).

  • VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU)

  • DRS ECU (rear steering control ECU)

  • Harness or connector

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

      Tech Tips

      Measure the resistance of the wire harness and DRS ECU (rear steering control ECU) at the VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU) connector.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N104-10 (CAN+) - N104-11(CAN-) Always 100 to 140 Ω
      N104-10 (CAN+) - Body ground Always 100 kΩ or higher
      N104-11 (CAN-) - Body ground Always 100 kΩ or higher

    NG
