Inspection Procedure

HINT:

• When U0073/94, U0293/59, U0123/62, U0124/95, U0126/63, U0130/68 or U0131/67 is output together with C1231/31, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by U0073/94, U0293/59,1)0123/62, U0124/95, U0126/63, U0130/68 or U0131/67 first.
• When the speed sensor or the yaw rate sensor has trouble, DTCs for the steering angle sensor may be output even when the steering angle sensor is normal. When DTCs for the speed sensor or yaw rate sensor are output together with other DTCs for the steering angle sensor, inspect and repair the speed sensor and yaw rate sensor first, and then inspect and repair the steering angle sensor.

1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION) 
   1. Using the Techstream, check for any momentary interruption in the wire harness and connectors between the skid control ECU and the steering angle sensor (see CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS  ).

      Tester Display	Measurement Item/Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
      Steering Open	Steering angle sensor open detection / ERROR or NORMAL	ERROR: Momentary interruption NORMAL: Normal	-

      OK: 

      There are no momentary interruptions. 

      HINT:

      Perform the above inspection before removing the sensor and connector.

   NG:  Go to step  4

   OK: Go to next step 

2. CHECK DTC 
   1. Clear the DTC (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ).
   2. Turn the power switch OFF.
   3. Turn the power switch ON (IG) again and check that no CAN communication system DTC is output.
   4. Drive the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to the right and left at a speed of 35 km/h (24 mph) and check that no speed sensor and yaw rate sensor DTCs are output.

      Condition	Proceed to
      No CAN communication system DTC and the speed sensor or yaw rate sensor DTC are output.	A
      CAN communication system DTC is output.	B
      Speed sensor or yaw rate sensor DTC is output.	C

      HINT:

      • If there is a malfunction in the speed sensor or the yaw rate sensor, an abnormal value may be output although the steering angle sensor is normal.
      • If the speed sensor and the yaw rate sensor DTCs are output simultaneously, repair the sensors and inspect the steering angle sensor.

   B: REPAIR CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM  (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )

   C: REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT CODE  (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART  )

   A: Go to next step 

3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR - BODY GROUND) 
   1. Remove the steering wheel and the column cover lower.
   2. Disconnect the K19 sensor connector.
   3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
      K19-1 (IG) - Body ground	Power switch ON (IG)	10 to 14 V
      K19-3 (BAT) - Body ground	Always	10 to 14 V

      K19-2 (ESS) - Body ground	Power switch OFF	Below 1 Ω

      HINT:

      If troubleshooting has been carried out according to the "PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE", refer back to the table and proceed to the next step (see PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  ).

   NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (IG, BAT OR ESS CIRCUIT) 

   OK: REPLACE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR  (See REMOVAL  )

4. REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR TO SKID CONTROL ECU) 
5. RECONFIRM DTC 
   1. Clear the DTC (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ).
   2. Turn the power switch ON (READY).
   3. Drive the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to the right and left at a speed of 35 km/h (24 mph) or more.
   4. Check if the same DTC is recorded (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ).
