DTC C1A74: Steering Vibrator System Malfunction [10/2016 - 09/2020]: Procedure

  1. INSPECT STEERING VIBRATION ECU (IG VOLTAGE) 
    1. Disconnect the z18 spiral cable sub-assembly connector.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z18-4 (BHT) (spiral cable sub-assembly side) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
    4. Turn the engine switch off.
    5. Connect the z18 spiral cable sub-assembly connector.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  6

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the z18 spiral cable sub-assembly connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z18-1 (EHT) (spiral cable sub-assembly side) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
    3. Connect the z18 spiral cable sub-assembly connector.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  5

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. REPLACE STEERING VIBRATION ECU 
    1. Replace the steering vibration ECU.

      Refer to REMOVAL [10/2016 - 11/2021]

      Result

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK FOR DTCs (LANE DEPARTURE ALERT SYSTEM) 
    1. Clear the DTCs.

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [10/2016 - 09/2020]

      Chassis > LKA/LDA > Clear DTCs 

    2. Perform the following procedure.

      HINT: 

      If the following procedure is not performed, the previously output DTC cannot be detected.

      1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      2. Turn the lane departure alert system ON.
      3. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 5 km/h (4 mph) or more for 5 seconds or more.
    3. Check for DTCs.

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [10/2016 - 09/2020]

      Chassis > LKA/LDA > Trouble Codes 

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTC C1A74 is not output A
      DTC C1A74 is output B

    Result: 

    END (STEERING VIBRATION ECU WAS DEFECTIVE) 

    Result: 

    REPLACE FORWARD RECOGNITION CAMERA. Refer to  COMPONENTS [10/2016 - 09/2020] 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the K140 spiral cable sub-assembly connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      K140-2 (EHT) (connector side) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
    3. Connect the K140 spiral cable sub-assembly connector.

      Result
