Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C1279; Acceleration Sensor Output Voltage Malfunction (Test Mode DTC); 2016 - 2017 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 11/2017]

DTC

C1279

Acceleration Sensor Output Voltage Malfunction (Test Mode DTC)

DESCRIPTION

DTC C1279 can be cleared when the yaw rate and acceleration sensor sends a yaw rate and/or acceleration signal or when Test Mode ends. DTC C1279 is output only in Test Mode.

DTC Code

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

C1279

Detected only during Test Mode.

  • Yaw rate and acceleration sensor power source circuit
  • Sensor installation
  • Yaw rate and acceleration sensor (w/ VDIM)
  • Yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) (w/o VDIM)
  • Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTCs C1232, C1243 and C1245 (See page 2016 - 2017 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 11/2017]; BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C1232,C1243,C1245; Acceleration Sensor Stuck Malfunction+ ).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the brake actuator assembly or yaw rate and acceleration sensor, perform zero point calibration and store system information (See page 2016 - 2017 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 11/2017]; BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: CALIBRATION ).

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK VEHICLE EQUIPMENT

(a) Confirm whether the vehicle is w/ VDIM or w/o VDIM.

2.

CHECK YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR INSTALLATION

(a) Check that the yaw rate and acceleration sensor has been installed properly (See page 2016 - 2017 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 11/2017]; BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR: INSTALLATION ).

OK:

The sensor is tightened to the specified torque.

The sensor is not installed in a tilted position.

NG

INSTALL YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR CORRECTLY

OK

3.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IG TERMINAL)

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

(b) Disconnect the yaw rate and acceleration sensor connector.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

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

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection

Switch Condition

Specified Condition

L6-4 (IG) - Body ground

Ignition switch ON

11 to 14 V

CHECK AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

(a) Check that the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) has been installed properly (See page 2016 - 2017 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 11/2017]; BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: BRAKE ACTUATOR: INSTALLATION ).

OK:

The sensor is tightened to the specified torque.

The sensor is not installed in a tilted position.

NG

INSTALL AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY CORRECTLY

OK

6.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IG2 TERMINAL)

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