INSPECT STEERING SENSOR

(a)

Remove the steering wheel and column lower cover (See
page

50-8

).

(b)

Disconnect the steering angle sensor connector.

(c)

Apply battery positive voltage between terminals 1 and 2,
2 and 9.

(d)

Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals 3 and 11 of the
steering angle sensor.

(e)

Turn the steering column shaft slowly and check the sig-
nal waveform.
OK:

HINT:
The above signal waveform does not repeat ON and OFF regu-
larly and this ON-OFF interval changes case by case according
to the data.

DTC

C1232/32 MALFUNCTION IN DECELERATION SENSOR

DTC

C1244/44 OPEN OR SHORT IN DECELERATION

SENSOR CIRCUIT

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

This sensor detects deceleration on the vehicle. The sensor signal is used in ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC
control. If the sensor functions abnormally, the ABS warning light comes on.

DTC No.

DTC Detecting Condition

Trouble Area

C1232/32

While vehicle speed becomes 0 km/h (0 mph) from 30 km/h
(18 mph), and the condition that GL1 and GL2 signals of
ECU terminals did not change 40 mV or less continued in a
sequence 16 times.

C1244/44

Either of the following 1., 2., 3. or 4. is detected:
1. The condition that ECU terminals GL1 and GL2 values

are 1.5G or less or 1.5G or more continues for 1.2 sec.

or more.

2. The condition that the deceleration sensor terminal VGS

voltage is 4.4 V or less or 5.6 G or more continues for

1.2 sec. or more.

3. At the vehicle speed of 0 km (0 mph), after the differ-

ence of output value between deceleration sensor termi-

nals GL1 and GL2 becomes 0.6 G or more, and the

condition that does not become 0.4 G or less continues

for 60 sec. or more.

4. Deceleration sensor signal momentary open occurs for

7 times or more.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR(YAW RATE SENSOR (DECELERATION
SENSOR) - SKID CONTROL ECU ASS)(See page

01-31

)

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR
CONNECTOR

OK

INSPECT YAWRATE SENSOR(DECELERATION SENSOR)

(a)

Remove the consol box.

(b)

Connect 3 dry batteries of 1.5 V in series.

(c)

Connect VYS terminal to the batteries’ positive (+) termi-
nal, and GYAW terminal to the batteries’ negative (-) ter-
minal. Apply about 4.5 V between VYS and GYAW termi-
nals.

NOTICE:
Do not apply voltage of 6 V or more to terminals VYS and
GYAW.
(d)

Check the output voltage of GL1 and GL2 terminals when
the sensor is tilted forward and rearward.
OK:

HINT:

If the sensor is tilted too much it may show the wrong val-
ue.

If dropped, the sensor should be replaced with a new one.

The sensor removed from the vehicle should not be
placed upside down.
