DTC P1589-54: G Sensor Zero Point Calibration Incomplete [11/2018 - 10/2023]: Procedure

  1. PERFORM REGISTRATION (DECELERATION SENSOR ZERO POINT CLEAR, DECELERATION SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION) 
    NOTE:
    • Once the zero point is stored, it cannot be overwritten until the data is cleared. Be sure to perform zero point clear and calibration after replacing the airbag ECU assembly.
    • Park the vehicle on a level surface (grade: +/-1%). Do not shake the vehicle or open/close any of the doors during zero point calibration. To avoid vibration caused by the engine idling, do not start the engine.
    1. Clear the zero point calibration data. (*1)
      1. Turn the ignition switch off.
      2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
      3. Move the shift lever to P and apply the parking brake.
      4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

        HINT: 

        Do not start the engine.

      5. Turn the Techstream on.
      6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Stop and Start / Utility / Deceleration Sensor Zero Point Clear.

        Powertrain > Stop and Start > Utility 

        Tester Display
        Deceleration Sensor Zero Point Clear
        NOTE:

        When the deceleration sensor zero point is cleared, the system information stored in the engine stop and start ECU is also cleared. If the vehicle is driven for 5 seconds or more at 3 km/h (2 mph) or more in this condition, the engine stop and start ECU will store DTC P1589-54 and blink the stop and start cancel indicator.

      7. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Perform zero point calibration of the deceleration sensor.
      1. Check that the shift lever is in P.
      2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
      3. Check that the parking brake is applied.
      4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

        HINT: 

        Do not start the engine.

      5. Turn the Techstream on.
      6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Stop and Start / Utility / Deceleration Sensor Zero Point Calibration.

        Powertrain > Stop and Start > Utility 

        Tester Display
        Deceleration Sensor Zero Point Calibration

        HINT: 

        If DTC P1589-54 is stored, the stop and start cancel indicator will blink.

      7. While keeping the vehicle stationary, follow the prompts on the Techstream screen. Check that "Complete" is displayed on the Techstream screen.
        NOTE:

        If zero point calibration fails, perform the registration procedure again from (*1).
