C1232

BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C1232, C1243, C1245, C1279: Acceleration Sensor Stuck Malfunction
C1279 - Acceleration Sensor Output Voltage Malfunction (Test Mode DTC)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU receives signals from the yaw rate and acceleration sensor via the CAN communication system.

The yaw rate sensor has a built in 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 and the CAN communication system, DTCs U0123 (malfunction in CAN communication with the yaw rate sensor) and U0124 (malfunction in CAN communication with the acceleration sensor) are stored.

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

DTC C1279 can be cleared when the yaw rate and acceleration sensor sends an acceleration signal or when Test Mode ends. DTC C1279 is output only in Test Mode.





WIRING DIAGRAM

* Refer to DTC C1381 C1381.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
When replacing the yaw rate and acceleration sensor, perform calibration Programming and Relearning.

HINT
When DTC U0123, U0124 and/or U0126 is output together with C1232, C1243 and/or C1245, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by U0123, U0124 and/or U0126 first U0073.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK DTC

(a) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(b) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON again and check that no CAN communication system DTC is output Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(e) Check if DTCs for zero point calibration of the yaw rate sensor (C1210) or for zero point calibration of the acceleration sensor (C1336) are output Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

Result





C -- REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTC Vehicle Stability Control System

B -- GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING) How to Proceed With Troubleshooting
A -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR INSTALLATION

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Check that the yaw rate and acceleration sensor has been installed properly Installation.

OK:

The sensor should be tightened to the specified torque.

The sensor should not be tilted.

NG -- INSTALL YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR CORRECTLY Installation

OK -- REPLACE YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR Removal
