C1440 - Steering Angle Sensor Unusual Bank Angle Detected

DESCRIPTION

If the skid control ECU determines that the vehicle is being driven at a steep bank angle, the skid control ECU stores DTC C1440 while VSC operation is temporarily disabled.

It is not a malfunction if the system and sensor circuits are normal and if the normal VSC operation resumes, which automatically clears DTC C1440, after the vehicle is returned to a normal position.

HINT

- The yaw rate and acceleration sensor is installed at an angle.
- The yaw rate and acceleration sensor signal output is stuck.
