DTC C1595/55: Lost Communication with Steering Angle Sensor Module (SIL); DTC C15C4/68: Steering Signal Not Detected [09/2014 - 09/2020]: Procedure

  1. CHECK DTC 
    1. Check for DTCs.

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [09/2014 - 09/2020]

      Chassis > VGRS > Trouble Codes 

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTCs C15C1/74, C15C2/74 and U0126/56 are not output A
      DTCs C15C1/74, C15C2/74 and U0126/56 are output B

    Result: 

    REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS. Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [09/2014 - 11/2017]  , or refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [11/2017 - 09/2020] 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (VGRS ECU (FRONT STEERING CONTROL ECU) - STEERING SENSOR) 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Disconnect the O16 VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU) connector.
    3. Disconnect the O29 steering sensor connector.
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      O16-5 (SS1-) - O29-9 (SS2-) Always Below 1 Ω
      O16-6 (SS1+) - O29-8 (SS2+) Always Below 1 Ω
      O16-5 (SS1-) or O29-9 (SS2-) - Body ground Always 100 kΩ or higher
      O16-6 (SS1+) or O29-8 (SS2+) - Body ground Always 100 kΩ or higher
      O16-5 (SS1-) - O16-6 (SS1+) Always 1000 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK STEERING SENSOR 
    1. Reconnect the O16 VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU) connector.

      (VGRS ECU [Front Steering Control ECU])
    2. Reconnect the O29 steering sensor connector.
    3. Start the engine.
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      HINT: 

      With the connector connected to the VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU), measure the voltage from the rear of the connector.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      O16-5 (SS1-) - O16-6 (SS1+) Steering wheel rotated slowly Pulse waveform that alternates between 0 and 5 V is output

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE VGRS ECU (FRONT STEERING CONTROL ECU). Refer to  REMOVAL [09/2014 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE STEERING SENSOR. Refer to  REMOVAL [09/2014 - ]
