DTC C1290/66 Steering Angle Sensor Zero Point Malfunction: Description

The skid control ECU acquires steering angle sensor zero point every time the engine switch is turned on (IG) and the vehicle is driven at 35 km/h (22 mph) or more for approximately 5 seconds The ECU also stores the previous zero point

If front wheel alignment or the steering wheel position is adjusted without disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, or if yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point is not acquired after the adjustments have been completed, the skid control ECU detects the difference between the previous zero point and newly acquired zero point and outputs this DTC to indicate a poor adjustment.

The warning operation for the steering angle sensor zero point malfunction will be cancelled by turning the engine switch off
