DTC C15A4/64: Motor Rotation Angle Malfunction; DTC C15A9/66: Lock Holder Deviation Detection; DTC C15AA/66: Lock Mechanism Release Incomplete; DTC C15AB/66: Lock Mechanism Insertion [09/2014 - 09/2020]: Description

When the VGRS system is normal, the steering actuator assembly conducts current from the VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU) to the steering actuator solenoid to release the lock mechanism, enabling motor operation.

The steering actuator assembly does not operate under any of the following conditions:

If the VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU) detects a malfunction in the steering actuator lock mechanism or a motor rotation angle error, it stores these DTCs.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Warning Indicate Return-to-normal Condition
C15A4/64 Motor Rotation Angle Malfunction After starting the engine, the "Actuator Target Angle" and "Actuator Angle" have a difference of 0.5 degrees or more for 1 second or more. Steering actuator assembly Comes on Engine switch on (IG) again
C15A9/66 Lock Holder Deviation Detection After the engine switch is turned off, the lock pin is inserted with the steering wheel near the neutral position (within 90 degrees of 0), the "Actuator Angle" and "Deep Groove Electrical Angle Position" are at 40 degrees or more Steering actuator assembly Comes on After clearing DTCs, perform actuator angle neutral point calibration.
C15AA/66 Lock Mechanism Release Incomplete After starting the engine, the "Motor q Axis Target Voltage" is 1.8 V or higher and 15 seconds or more elapse, or the "Motor q Axis Target Voltage" is 0.6 V or higher and 180 seconds or more elapse. Steering actuator assembly Comes on After clearing DTCs, perform actuator angle neutral point calibration.
C15AB/66 Lock Mechanism Insertion After the engine switch is turned on (IG), when the motor is operating to confirm the lock pin insertion, the "Motor q Axis Target Voltage" is below 2 V. Steering actuator assembly Comes on After clearing DTCs, perform actuator angle neutral point calibration.
