Pinpoint Test M: DTC C1991 - Module Calibration Failure

NOTE: The stability assist lamp flashes when a system calibration is required. Calibration is required after certain diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are cleared.
NOTE: Make sure the vehicle is not on a hoist and is sitting on level ground before carrying out stability assist module calibration.
  1. M1 CHECK FOR DTCs 
    • Connect the scan tool.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Retrieve the recorded results from the smart junction box (SJB) self-test.
    • Is any other DTC retrieved with C1991? 

    Yes  : GO to the ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX .

    Some of the pinpoint tests recommend ABS module calibration prior to any further diagnostics. In this case, GO to  M2.

    No  : GO to  M2.

  2. M2 CALIBRATE THE ABS MODULE 
    • Key in START position.
    • NOTE: Be sure to rotate the steering wheel lock-to-lock during the calibration of the ABS system.
      NOTE: To successfully carry out the ABS module calibration, the transmission must be in PARK, the engine must be running and there must be no brake pedal input.
    • Carry out the ABS module calibration per the scan tool instructions.
    • Does the calibration complete for all of the stability assist sensors, and does the stability assist lamp stop flashing and turn off? 

    Yes  : GO to  M3.

    No  : GO to  M4.

    Some concerns cause the calibration not to complete. If sent here from another pinpoint test, return to that pinpoint test for further diagnostics.

  3. M3 CLEAR DTC C1991 
    NOTE: Clear DTC C1991 after completing the calibration.
    • Connect the scan tool.
    • Key in ON position.
    • CLEAR the DTC.
    • Does the DTC clear? 

    Yes  : TEST DRIVE the vehicle. REPEAT the self-test.

    If sent here from another pinpoint test, return to that pinpoint test for further diagnostics.

    No  : GO to  M4.

  4. M4 MONITOR THE STEERING WHEEL ROTATION SENSOR PIDs 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Monitor the ABS module steering wheel rotation sensor PIDs while rotating the steering wheel clockwise and counterclockwise.
    • Are the 2 steering wheel rotation sensor PID values switching as the wheel rotates? 

    Yes  : GO to PINPOINT TEST H .

    No  : GO to PINPOINT TEST G .
