C2204

DTC C2204: Internal abnormality in G and yaw rate sensor (lateral G and yaw rate sensor)

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

CIRCUIT OPERATION
^ ASC-ECU supplies power to the G and yaw rate sensor at the terminal No. 1.
^ The G and yaw rate sensor outputs the signal to ASC-ECU via the CAN bus lines.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
This diagnostic trouble code is set if any malfunction below is found:
^ When abnormality in lateral G sensor and yaw rate sensor is detected by the self-diagnosis of the G and yaw rate sensor
^ When the output value of the G and yaw rate sensor is not within the standard value range

NOTE: This diagnostic trouble code may be set when G and yaw rate sensor is put on the turntable turning at high speed.

PROBABLE CAUSES
^ Improper installation of the G and yaw rate sensor
^ Damaged wiring harness and connectors
^ G and yaw rate sensor malfunction
^ ASC-ECU malfunction

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
^ MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
^ MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
^ MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
^ MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
Use scan tool to diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Repair the CAN bus lines. On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnostic trouble code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines
Q: Is DTC C2204 set?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. 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 4.
NO: Reinstall the G and yaw rate sensor correctly.

STEP 4. M.U.T.-III data list
Check the following service data.
^ Item 08: Lateral G-sensor
^ Item 12: Yaw rate sensor

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 5.
NO: Replace the G and yaw rate sensor, and then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnostic trouble code is reset.
Q: Is DTC C2204 set?
YES: Replace the ASC-ECU.
NO: The procedure is complete.
