DTC

C1279, C1280, C1281, C1952, C1959

Combined sensor system

DETECTION CONDITION

•  C1279

―  Variation of the yaw rate value from the combined sensor while the vehicle is stopped or started is not within the specification.

•  C1280

―  Condition 1

•  The difference between the yaw rate value calculated by each sensor and the yaw rate value from the combined sensor exceeds the specification.

―  Condition 2

•  While the vehicle is moving forward, one of the yaw rate values is + and the other is - (yaw rate value calculated from steering angle sensor signal and one from the combined sensor).

•  C1281

―  Difference between the two lateral-G values exceeds the specification (one from the combined sensor and one calculated from yaw rate signal from the combined sensor, steering angle sensor signal, and ABS wheel-speed sensor signal).

•  C1952

―  Signal, which indicates low voltage or over voltage, from the combined sensor is continued for 100 ms.

•  C1959

―  Variation of the lateral-G value from the combined sensor is not within the specification.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

•  Poor installation of combined sensor

•  Open circuit or short to ground in wiring harness between ignition switch—combined sensor terminal A

•  Open circuit in wiring harness between combined sensor terminal D—ground

•  Combined sensor malfunction

•  Poor connection at connectors (female terminal)

Diagnostic procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	INSPECT COMBINED SENSOR INSTALLATION CONDITION • Inspect the installation condition of the combined sensor. • Is the combined sensor installed correctly?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Install the combined sensor correctly, then go to the next step.
2	INSPECT COMBINED SENSOR POWER SUPPLY FOR OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. • Measure the voltage between combined sensor terminal A and body ground. • Is the voltage approx. 12 V?	Yes	Go to the next step.
2		No	Repair or replace the wiring harness, then go to Step 5.
3	INSPECT COMBINED SENSOR GROUND FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Inspect for continuity between combined sensor terminal D and body ground. • Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Repair or replace the wiring harness, then go to Step 5.
4	INSPECT COMBINED SENSOR • Inspect the combined sensor. (See COMBINED SENSOR INSPECTION.) • Is the combined sensor normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Replace the combined sensor, then go to the next step. (See COMBINED SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
5	VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED • Clear the DTC from the memory. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS [DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)].) • Start the engine and drive the vehicle at 10 km/h {6.0 mph} or more. • Are the same DTCs present? (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS [DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)].)	Yes	Replace the DSC HU/CM, then go to the next step. (See DSC HU/CM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
5		No	Go to the next step.
6	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Are any other DTCs present? (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS [DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)].)	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS [DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)].)
6		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
