Steering Angle Sensor Communication Stop Mode: Procedure

  1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL 
    1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal before measuring the resistance of the main wire and the branch wire.
      WARNING:

      Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

      NOTE:

      When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected.

    NEXT: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS WIRE (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR BRANCH WIRE) 
    1. Disconnect the E11 steering angle sensor connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      E11-3 (CANH) - E11-2 (CANL) Ignition switch off 54 to 69 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR BRANCH WIRE OR CONNECTOR (CANH, CANL) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
      NOTE:

      When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected.

    2. Disconnect the E11 steering angle sensor connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E11-1 (ESS) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage 

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E11-5 (BAT) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
      E11-4 (IG) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   4 

  4. REPLACE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. Refer to  REMOVAL
