DTC C1231/31 Steering Angle Sensor Circuit Malfunction


DESCRIPTION

The steering angle sensor signal is sent to the skid control ECU via CAN communication system. When there is a malfunction in the CAN communication system, it will be detected by the steering angle sensor zero point malfunction diagnostic function.

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
C1231/31
When ECU IG1 terminal voltage is 9.5 V or more, the steering angle sensor malfunction signal is received.
  1. Steering angle sensor
  2. Steering angle sensor circuit
  3. Steering angle sensor power supply
  4. Skid control ECU

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
  1. When U0073/94, U0123/62, U0124/95 or U0126/63 is output together with C1231/31, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by U0073/94, U0123/62, U0124/95 or U0126/63 first.
  2. When the speed sensor or the yaw rate sensor has trouble, DTCs for the steering angle sensor may be output even when the steering angle sensor is normal. When DTCs for the speed sensor or yaw rate sensor are output together with other DTCs for the steering angle sensor, inspect and repair the speed sensor and yaw rate sensor first, and then inspect and repair the steering angle sensor.
1.CHECK DTC

  1. Clear the DTC (Click here).

  1. Turn the engine switch off.

  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG) again and check that no CAN communication system DTC is output.

  1. Drive the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to the right and left at the speed of 22 mph (35 km/h) and check that no speed sensor and yaw rate sensor DTCs are output.

    Result:

    Condition
    		Proceed to
    No CAN communication system DTC and the speed sensor or yaw rate sensor DTC are output
    		A
    CAN communication system DTC is output
    		B
    Speed sensor or yaw rate sensor DTC is output
    		C (Click here)
    HINT:
    1. If there is a malfunction in the speed sensor or the yaw rate sensor, an abnormal value may be output although the steering angle sensor is normal.
    2. If the speed sensor and the yaw rate sensor DTCs are output simultaneously, repair the sensors and inspect the steering angle sensor.

  1. Turn the engine switch off.

  1. Remove the steering wheel and the column cover lower.

  1. Disconnect the steering angle sensor connector.

  1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard voltage:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    J23-1 (IG) - Body ground
    		Engine switch on (IG)
    		10 to 14 V
    J23-3 (BAT) - Body ground
    		Always
    		10 to 14 V

  1. Turn the engine switch off.

  1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    J23-2 (ESS) - Body ground
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
