DTC C1595/55: Lost Communication with Steering Angle Sensor Module; DTC C15C4/68: Steering Angle Signal (Test Mode DTC): Procedure

  1. CHECK DTC (CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM) 
    1. Check for DTCs in the CAN communication system. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM .
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      DTC is not output A
      DTC is output B

    B → GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING) 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR 
    1. Check that a steering angle sensor with the specified part number is installed.

      Standard

      A steering angle sensor with the specified part number (89245-30070) is installed.

    NG → REPLACE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Disconnect the connectors from the steering control ECU and the steering angle sensor.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Resistance

      Tester connection Specified condition
      K70-10 (SS1-) - K19-7 (SS1-) Below 1 Ω
      K70-19 (SS1+) - K19-8 (SS1+) Below 1 Ω
      K70-19 (SS1+) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      K70-10 (SS1-) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      K70-19 (SS1+) - K70-10 (SS1-) 1 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE WIRE HARNESS 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR 
    1. Connect the connector to the steering angle sensor.

    2. Adjust the shift lever to neutral.
    3. Jack up the vehicle.
    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    5. Check the signal waveform according to the condition in the table below.

      Voltage

      Tester connection Condition Specified condition
      K70-19 (SS1+) -
      K70-10 (SS1-)
      Engine switch on (IG), rotate steering wheel slowly Pulse generation
      (0 ←→ 5 V)

      HINT: 

      The output voltage should fluctuate up and down similarly to the diagram on the left when the wheel is turned slowly.

    NG → REPLACE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR 

    OK → REPLACE STEERING CONTROL ECU
