STEP 5. G and yaw rate sensor installation check
Check that the G and yaw rate sensor is installed correctly.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Reinstall the G and yaw rate sensor correctly. (Refer

P.35C-278

.) Then go to Step 13.

STEP 6. Connector check: A-05 ASC-ECU connector, C-38
G and yaw rate sensor connector
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Repair the defective connector.

STEP 7. Voltage measurement at C-38 G and yaw rate
sensor connector
(1) Disconnect the connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Measure the voltage between the terminal No.1 and the

body ground.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Voltage measurement at A-05 ASC-ECU connector
(1) Disconnect the ASC-ECU connector, connect the ASC

check harness (Special tool: MB991997) to the
ASC-ECU-side connector and the wiring harness-side
connector, and then measure at the special tool connector
side.

(2) Disconnect C-38 G and yaw rate sensor connector.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(4) Measure the voltage between the terminal No.22 and the

body ground.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Repair the wiring harness between A-05 ASC-ECU

connector terminal No. 22 and C-38 G and yaw rate
sensor connector terminal No. 1.

NO : Go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Wiring harness check between A-05 ASC-ECU
connector terminal No.22 and C-38 G and yaw rate sensor
connector terminal No.1.

• Short circuit check of power supply circuit

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 12.
NO : Repair the wiring harness between A-05 ASC-ECU

connector terminal No. 22 and C-38 G and yaw rate
sensor connector terminal No. 1.

STEP 10. Wiring harness check between A-05 ASC-ECU
connector terminal No.29 and C-38 G and yaw rate sensor
connector terminal No.5.

• Open circuit check of the ground circuit

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Replace the G and yaw rate sensor. (Refer to

P.35C-278

.) Then go to Step 11.

NO : Repair the wiring harness between A-05 ASC-ECU

connector terminal No. 29 and C-38 G and yaw rate
sensor connector terminal No. 5.

STEP 11. Check whether the DTC is reset.
Q: Is DTC C2114 or C2115 set?

YES : Replace the hydraulic unit (incorporates in

ASC-ECU).(Refer to

P.35C-272

.) Then go to Step 13.

NO : The procedure is complete.

DTC C123A: Abnormality in sensor calibration

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-

rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN

bus lines are normal.

• Do not drop the G and yaw rate sensor or subject it to a

shock.

• When the G and yaw rate sensor is replaced, always

perform the calibration to make ASC-ECU learn the
neutral point. (Refer to

P.35C-266

• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is

replaced, always perform the calibration of steering
wheel sensor, G and yaw rate sensor, brake fluid pres-
sure sensor, cut valve, and inlet valve.(Refer to

CIRCUIT OPERATION

ASC-ECU stores the calibrated value of the G and yaw rate
sensor, steering wheel sensor, and master cylinder pressure
sensor.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This diagnostic trouble code is set when the calibrated value for
each sensor stored in ASC-ECU is abnormal.

• Abnormality of G and yaw rate sensor neutral position

• Abnormality of steering wheel sensor neutral position

• Abnormality of master cylinder pressure sensor neutral
