Pinpoint Test I: DTC C1991 - Module Calibration Failure

Refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article, Vehicle Dynamic Systems for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation 

The ABS module must be calibrated whenever a component specific to the roll stability control (RSC) system is disconnected or a new component is installed.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

PINPOINT TEST I: DTC C1991 - MODULE CALIBRATION FAILURE 

NOTE: The RSC indicator flashes when a system calibration is required. Calibration is required after certain DTCs are cleared.
NOTE: Make sure the vehicle is not on a hoist and is sitting on level ground before carrying out ABS module calibration.
  1. I1 CHECK FOR DTCs 
    • Connect the diagnostic tool.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Self-Test ABS Module
    • Retrieve and record any ABS module DTCs.
    • Are other DTCs retrieved along with C1991? 
    1. YES  : Go to the ABS MODULE DTC CHART  .

      Some of the pinpoint tests recommend ABS module calibration prior to any further diagnostics. In this case, go to  I2.

    2. NO  : Go to  I2.
  2. I2 CALIBRATE THE ABS MODULE 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: ABS Module Calibration
    • Carry out the ABS module calibration per the scan tool instructions.
    • Does the calibration complete for all of the RSC sensors, and does the RSC indicator stop flashing and turn off? 
    1. YES  : Go to  I3.
    2. NO  : Go to  I4.

      Some concerns cause the calibration not to complete. If sent here from another pinpoint test, return to that pinpoint test for further diagnostics.

  3. I3 CLEAR DTC C1991 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Clear ABS Module DTCs
    • Using the scan tool, clear the DTC.
    • Does the DTC clear? 
    1. YES  : TEST DRIVE the vehicle above 32 km/h (20 mph) and CARRY OUT at least one ABS stop. REPEAT the self-test.

      If sent here from another pinpoint test, return to that pinpoint test for further diagnostics.

    2. NO  : Go to  I4.
  4. I4 MONITOR THE ABS MODULE SASM (SWA POS) PID 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: DataLogger ABS Module
    • Monitor the SWA POS PID while rotating the steering wheel clockwise and counterclockwise very slowly.
    • Does the PID move in intervals of 1 degree? 
    1. YES  : Go to Pinpoint Test F .
    2. NO  : Go to Pinpoint Test E .
