C1290

BRAKE CONTROL: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM: C1290/66: Steering Angle Sensor Zero Point Malfunction

DTC C1290/66 - Steering Angle Sensor Zero Point Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU acquires steering angle sensor zero point every time the ignition switch is turned on and the vehicle is driven at 22 mph (35 km/h) or more for approximately 5 seconds. The ECU also stores the previous zero point.
If front wheel alignment or steering wheel position is adjusted without disconnecting the negative battery terminal, or if yaw rate and deceleration sensor zero point is not acquired after the adjustments have been completed, the skid control ECU detects the difference between the previous zero point and newly acquired zero point and outputs this DTC to indicate a poor adjustment.
Warning of the steering angle sensor zero point malfunction will be cancelled by turning the ignition switch off.






INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE: When replacing the skid control ECU, perform initialization of linear solenoid valve and calibration Initialization.

PROCEDURE

1. PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF YAW RATE AND DECELERATION SENSOR
(a) Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and deceleration sensor Calibration.
HINT:
- When the stored zero point of the yaw rate and deceleration sensor is erased, steering angle sensor zero point will also be erased.
- If the zero point and output value of the yaw rate and deceleration sensor and the output value of the speed sensors are not normal, steering angle sensor zero point cannot be acquired normally even if the vehicle is driven straight ahead at 22 mph (35 km/h) or more.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION
(a) Drive the vehicle straight ahead at 22 mph (35 km/h) or more for at least 5 seconds.
(b) Check that the centered position of the steering wheel is correctly set, while driving straight ahead.
HINT: If front wheel alignment and steering position are adjusted as a result of abnormal centered position of the steering wheel, acquire yaw rate and deceleration sensor zero point again after the adjustments are completed.

OK:
The centered position of the steering wheel is correctly set.
NG -- ADJUST FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT OR STEERING POSITION
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. RECONFIRM DTC
(a) Turn the ignition switch off.
(b) Clear the DTC Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
(c) Start the engine.
(d) Drive the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to the right and left at the speed of 22 mph (35 km/h) or more.
(e) Check that the same DTC is recorded Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
Result:






B -- REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU
A -- END
