Hydraulic Unit

P.35C-165

). Then go to Step

6 .

NO :

It can be assumed that this malfunction is
intermittent. Refer to GROUP 00, How to
Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service
Points

− How to Cope with Intermittent

Malfunction

P.00-5

.

STEP 6. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.

Check again if the diagnosis code is set.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to MUT-III, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting MUT-III.
(1) Connect the MUT-III to the diagnosis connector

as shown in the illustration.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Erase the diagnosis code (Refer to

P.35C-6

).

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)

position.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(6) Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)

position.

(8) Disconnect MUT-III.

Q: Is code No.U1120 set?

YES :

Return to Step 1 .

NO :

The procedure is complete.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
PROCEDURES <STEERING WHEEL
SENSOR>

Code No.C1551: Improper output voltage of steering wheel sensor
Code No.C1552: Abnormal steering wheel sensor output pattern
Code No.C1553: Abnormal optical sensor output pattern
Code No.C1554: Steering wheel sensor speed is out of range
Code No.C1555: Steering wheel sensor out of range
Code No.C1608: EEPROM failure

CAUTION

If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an
incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

CAUTION

If these diagnosis codes has been set,
TCL/ASC-ECU related diagnosis code No.C1506
is also set. After these diagnosis codes has been
diagnosed, don’t forget to erase diagnosis code
No.C1506.

OPERATION

• The steering wheel sensor is energized via the

ignition switch, and communicates the
TCL/ASC-ECU via a CAN bus-line.

• The steering wheel sensor has a self-diagnosis

function and a memory function. If the diagnosis
function finds a trouble, it sends these diagnosis
codes to the TCL/ASC-ECU. Then the ECU will
illuminate the TCL/ASC indicator light. At this
time, the TCL/ASC-ECU sets diagnosis code
No.C1506 (Steering wheel sensor error).

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

These diagnosis codes will be set under the cases
below.

Code No.C1551: Improper output voltage of

steering wheel sensor

• The Hall cell sends incorrect voltage signal for at

least one second.

Code No.C1552: Abnormal steering wheel sensor

output pattern

• Invalid Hall cell pattern fluctuates at least once.

Code No.C1553: Abnormal optical sensor output

pattern

• The optical sensor output is invalid.

Code No.C1554: Steering wheel sensor speed is

out of range

• The sensor speed is -25°/10 ms or more.

Code No.C1555: Steering wheel sensor out of

range

• The sensor is out of a predetermined operation

range.

Code No.C1608: EEPROM failure

• The sensor detects an EEPROM error.

PROBABLE CAUSES

Malfunction of the steering wheel sensor

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. MUT-III CAN bus diagnostics

CAUTION

Before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-III,
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
(1) Connect MUT-III to the 16-pin diagnosis

connector.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)

position.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP
54D, CAN bus line Diagnostic flow

P.54D-9

). Then go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.

CAUTION

Before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-III,
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(2) Erase the diagnosis code.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)

position.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5) Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(6) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)

position.

Q: Is code No.C1551, C1552, C1553, C1554, C1555 or

C1608 set?
YES :

Replace steering wheel sensor.

NO :

The procedure is complete.

CAUTION

• If diagnosis code No.U1073 is set in the

steering wheel sensor, always diagnose the
CAN main bus line. If there is any fault in the
CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code
may be set.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that

the communication circuit is normal.

CAUTION

If diagnosis code No.U1073 has been set,
TCL/ASC-ECU related diagnosis code No.C1506
is also set. After diagnosis code No.U1073 has
been diagnosed, don’t forget to erase diagnosis
code No.C1506.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

This code is stored when the steering wheel sensor
has ceased the CAN communication (bus off). Then,
if a penalty mode is entered after approximately five
minutes, regular data transmission will be cancelled.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged wiring harness or connector

• Malfunction of the hydraulic unit (integrated with

TCL/ASC-ECU)

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. MUT-III CAN bus diagnostics
