Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The yaw rate and lateral acceleration sensors are combined into one multi-axis acceleration sensor module, external to the electronic brake control module. The electronic brake control module supplies a 12 V reference voltage to the multi-axis acceleration sensor module. The multi-axis acceleration sensor module communicates with the electronic brake control module via the high speed controller area network (CAN) serial data circuit. The electronic brake control module activates the stability control function depending on multi-axis acceleration sensor module input.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C0186 5A

The lateral acceleration sensor signal is not plausible with the yaw rate sensor signal, steering angle sensor signal and vehicle speed for 0.5-2 s.

C0186 71

The lateral acceleration sensor signal offset is out of specified range.

C018B 5A

The multi-axis acceleration sensor signal is not plausible.

C0196 00

The yaw rate sensor signal is out specified range.

C0196 5A or C019B 5A

The yaw rate sensor signal is not plausible with the lateral acceleration sensor signal, steering angle sensor signal and vehicle speed. for 0.25-2 s.

C0196 71

The yaw rate sensor offset is out of specified range.

C0287 4B

The longitudinal acceleration sensor is not calibrated.

C0287 5A

The longitudinal acceleration sensor signal is not plausible with the vehicle speed.

C0287 71

The longitudinal acceleration sensor offset is out of specified range.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The electronic brake control module disables the stability control for the duration of the ignition cycle.

* The traction control/stability control-active indicator turns ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

* The electronic brake control module will turn OFF the indicator in the next ignition cycle.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Inspect the B119 Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor for correct installation.

If loose or incorrect installation
Correct the installation of the component.

If the installation is OK

3. Ignition ON.

4. Verify that DTC C0287 4B is not set.

If DTC C0287 4B is set

1. Perform the Vehicle Yaw Sensor Learn Testing and Inspection prior to this diagnostic.

2. Verify the DTC does not set.

If the DTC sets,
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If the DTC does not set

3. All OK.

If DTC C0287 4B is not set

5. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B119 Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.

2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.

If 5 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.

If less than 5 ohms

3. Ignition ON.

4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 5 and ground.

If the lamp does not illuminate

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module and the B99 Steering Wheel Angle Sensor.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the B+ circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.

If the test lamp illuminates

5. Replace the B119 Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor.

6. Verify the DTC does not set.

If the DTC sets
Replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.

If the DTC does not set

7. All OK.
