DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) receives signals from the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) via CAN communication.

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

If there are malfunctions in the bus lines between the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) and the CAN communication system, DTCs U0123 (Lost Communication with Yaw Rate Sensor Module) and U0124 (Lost Communication with Lateral Acceleration Sensor Module) will be stored.

These DTCs are also output when zero point calibration has not been completed.

DTC C1279 will be cleared when the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) sends a yaw rate and/or acceleration signal or when Test Mode ends. DTC C1279 is output only in Test Mode.

PROCEDURE

CHECK DTC

(a) Clear the DTCs.

Click here

Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Clear DTCs

(b) Turn the power switch off.

(d) Drive the vehicle at a speed of 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, turn the steering wheel, and decelerate (depress the brake pedal) the vehicle.

(e) Turn the power switch on (IG) again and check that no CAN communication system DTCs are output.

Click here

(f) Check if DTC C1210 (Zero Point Calibration of Yaw Rate Sensor Undone) or C1336 (Zero Point Calibration of Acceleration Sensor Undone) is output.

Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Trouble Codes

Result	Proceed to
DTCs (C1210, C1336 and CAN communication system DTCs) are not output.	A
CAN communication system DTCs are output.	B
DTCs C1210 and/or C1336 are output.	C

INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS

2.	CHECK AIRBAG ECU ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

(a) Turn the power switch off.

(b) Check that the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) has been installed properly.

Click here

OK:

The airbag ECU assembly is tightened to the specified torque.

The airbag ECU assembly is not tilted.

NOTICE:

Check the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) signal after replacement.
