Code No. U1200: SAS parity error
Code No. U1204: SAS message counter error



caution
  • If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.

OPERATION


The steering wheel sensor signal is sent to the EPS-ECU via the CAN bus lines.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS


If a problem is found in the steering wheel sensor, the sensor will send a diagnostic signal to the EPS-ECU. When EPS-ECU receives this diagnostic signal, it determines that the sensor has a trouble and sets the diagnosis code.

PROBABLE CAUSES

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnosis


Use the M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting ). On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines


(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. U1200 or U1204 set?

Go to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. U1200 or U1204 set?

Replace the steering wheel sensor (Refer to GROUP 35C - Steering Wheel Sensor ). Then go to Step 4.
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. U1200 or U1204 set?

Replace the EPS-ECU (Refer to ). Then go to Step 5.
This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. U1200 or U1204 set?

Return to Step 1.
This diagnosis is complete.
