VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1232,C1243,C1245 and C1279

DTC Code DTC Name
C1232 Acceleration Sensor Stuck Malfunction
C1243 Acceleration Sensor Stuck Malfunction
C1245 Acceleration Sensor Output Malfunction
C1279 Acceleration Sensor Output Voltage Malfunction (Test Mode DTC)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives signals from the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) via the CAN communication system.

The airbag sensor assembly has a built-in yaw rate and acceleration sensor and detects the vehicle's condition using 2 circuits (GL1, GL2).

If there is trouble in the bus lines between the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) and the CAN communication system, the DTC U0124 (malfunction in CAN communication with the acceleration sensor) is output.

These DTCs are also output when calibration has not been completed.

DTC C1279 can be cleared when the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) sends a yaw rate and/or acceleration signal or the Test Mode ends. DTC C1279 is output only in the Test Mode.

DTC No.

Trouble Area

C1232

Acceleration Sensor Stuck Malfunction

At a vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, either GL1 or GL2 (input signal) does not change for 30 seconds or more.

  • Acceleration sensor (Airbag sensor assembly)

  • Acceleration sensor (Airbag sensor assembly) circuit

C1243

Acceleration Sensor Stuck Malfunction

While the vehicle speed changes from 30 km/h (19 mph) to 0 km/h (0 mph), the condition that the values of GL1 and GL2 do not change 0.0294 G or more occurs 16 times or more.

  • Acceleration sensor (Airbag sensor assembly)

  • Acceleration sensor (Airbag sensor assembly) circuit

C1245

Acceleration Sensor Output Malfunction

At a vehicle speed of 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, the difference between the forward and backward G calculated from the acceleration sensor value and that calculated from the vehicle speed exceeds 0.35 G for 60 seconds or more.

  • Acceleration sensor (Airbag sensor assembly)

  • Acceleration sensor (Airbag sensor assembly) circuit

  • Sensor installation

C1279

Acceleration Sensor Output Voltage Malfunction (Test Mode DTC)

Detected only during Test Mode.

  • Acceleration sensor (Airbag sensor assembly)

  • Sensor installation

Tip:

When U0124 and/or U0126 is output together with C1232, C1243 and/or C1245, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by U0124 and/or U0126 first.

PROCEDURE

  1. CHECK DTC

    1. Clear the DTC.

      Click here

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRC > Clear DTCs

    2. At a speed of 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, drive the vehicle, turn the steering wheel, and decelerate (depress the brake pedal) the vehicle.

    3. Check that no CAN communication system DTC is output.

  2. CHECK AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Check that the airbag sensor assembly has been installed properly.

      OK

      The sensor should be tightened to the specified torque.

      The sensor should not be tilted position.
