Code No. C1505: Steering angle sensor (signal seizure or abnormal neutral point)
Code No. C1506: Steering angle sensor error (steering wheel sensor malfunction)
Code No. C1555: Steering angle SNS. out of range



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.
  • When the steering wheel sensor is replaced, always carry out calibration to make ASC-ECU learn the neutral point (Refer to ).
  • When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is replaced, always carry out the calibration of the G and yaw rate sensor and the steering wheel sensor (Refer to and ).

OPERATION


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

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS




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.


Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1505, C1506 or C1555 set?

Go to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. Steering wheel sensor installation state check.


Check that the steering wheel sensor is installed correctly.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.
Install the steering wheel sensor correctly. (Refer to ), calibrate the steering wheel sensor. (Refer to ). Then go to Step 7.

STEP 4. M.U.T.-III data list.


With the front wheel facing in the straight-ahead direction, check the steering wheel sensor signal using the data list. Check that the data list deviates within ±5° from the neutral position (Refer to ).

  • Item No.07: Steering angle

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Calibrate the steering wheel sensor (Refer to ). Then go to Step 7.

STEP 5. M.U.T.-III data list.


Turn the steering wheel fully to the left, and then turn it fully to the right. Then check that the value of the steering wheel sensor changes smoothly using the data list. In addition, check that the steering wheel angle on the data list almost matches the actual steering wheel angle (Refer to ).

  • Item No.07: Steering angle

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
After the steering wheel sensor is replaced (Refer to ), calibrate the steering wheel sensor.(Refer to ). Then go to Step 7.

STEP 6. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Erase the set diagnosis code.
(2)Ignition switch: "LOCK" (OFF)
(3)Ignition switch: "ON"

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1505, C1506 or C1555 set?

Replace the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) (Refer to ). Then go to Step 7.
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).

STEP 7. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Erase the set diagnosis code.
(2)Ignition switch: "LOCK" (OFF)
(3)Ignition switch: "ON"

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1505, C1506 or C1555 set?

Return to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.
