DTC    C1434    Steering Angle Sensor Output Malfunction


DESCRIPTION

Steering angle sensor signals are sent to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) via the CAN communication system. When there is a malfunction in the CAN communication system, it will be detected by the steering angle sensor zero point malfunction diagnostic function.

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
C1434
Normal communication between the skid control ECU and the steering angle sensor and abnormal steering angle sensor zero point.
  1. Steering angle sensor power supply
  2. Steering angle sensor (Spiral cable sub-assembly)
  3. Skid control ECU (Brake actuator assembly)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
  1. Do not remove the steering sensor from the spiral cable.
  2. When replacing the spiral cable sub-assembly, confirm that the replacement part is of the correct specification.
  3. Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

HINT:
  1. When U0073, U0124 and/or U0126 is output together with C1434, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by U0073, U0124 and/or U0126 first (Click here).
  2. When the speed sensor or the yaw rate and deceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) has trouble, DTCs for the steering angle sensor (spiral cable sub-assembly) may be output even when the steering angle sensor is normal. When DTCs for the speed sensor or yaw rate and deceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) are output together with DTCs for the steering angle sensor (spiral cable sub-assembly), inspect and repair the speed sensor and yaw rate and deceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) first, and then inspect and repair the steering angle sensor (spiral cable sub-assembly).
1.CHECK DTC
  1. Clear the DTCs (Click here).

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON again and check that no CAN communication system DTC is output (Click here).

  1. Start the engine.

  1. Drive the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to the right and left at a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) and check that no speed sensor or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output (Click here).

    Result 
    Result
    Proceed to
    No CAN communication system, speed sensor, or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output
    A
    CAN communication system DTC is output
    B
    Speed sensor or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTC is output
    C

    HINT:
    1. If there is a malfunction in any of the speed sensors or the yaw rate and deceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly), an abnormal value may be output although the steering angle sensor (spiral cable sub-assembly) sensor is normal.
    2. If speed sensor and yaw rate and deceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) DTCs are output simultaneously, repair these two sensors first and inspect the steering angle sensor (spiral cable sub-assembly).

3.CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (IG TERMINAL)


    C197050E39
  1. Remove the steering wheel and the column cover lower.

  1. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connectors.

  1. Disconnect the steering angle sensor connector.

  1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Voltage:
    Tester Connection
    Switch Condition
    Specified Condition
    D122-5 (IG) - Body ground
    Ignition switch ON
    11 to 14 V

4.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ESS TERMINAL)


    C197050E41
  1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Resistance:
    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    D122-2 (ESS) - Body ground
    Always
