Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM (for HV Model): C1381; Abnormal Power Supply Voltage in Yaw Rate and/or Deceleration Sensor; 2019 - 2022 MY Avalon HV [04/2018 -        ]

DTC

C1381

Abnormal Power Supply Voltage in Yaw Rate and/or Deceleration Sensor

DESCRIPTION

The airbag ECU assembly has a built-in yaw rate and acceleration sensor and detects the vehicle condition using 2 circuits (GL1, GL2).

If a power source malfunction signal from the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) is detected by the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly), DTC C1381 is stored.

DTC C1381 may be stored due to an intermittent low power source voltage.

DTC No.

Note

C1381

Abnormal Power Supply Voltage in Yaw Rate and/or Deceleration Sensor

601

At a vehicle speed of more than 3 km/h (2 mph), the acceleration sensor power source malfunction signal is received for 10 seconds or more.

  • Wire harness or connector
  • Acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly)

Comes on

  • INF Code 601: SAE Code C14D7
  • ABS DTC

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) receives valid or invalid information from the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) power supply voltage via CAN communication. When the vehicle is being driven and an invalid yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) power supply voltage is received via CAN communication for a certain amount of time, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) judges that the power supply of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) is abnormal and illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  5. Turn the power switch off.
  6. Turn the power switch on (READY).
  7. Turn the Techstream on.
  8. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 3 km/h (2 mph) or more for 10 seconds or more.
  9. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Trouble Codes.
  10. Read the DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  11. If the DTCs are not output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs.
