Normal Operation
The stability/traction control system sensors consist of the yaw rate sensor, roll rate sensor, lateral accelerometer and longitudinal accelerometer. The stability/traction control system sensors are contained within the Restraints Control Module (RCM). The RCM provides the ABS module with the sensor information along a dedicated Controller Area Network (CAN) bus.
The stability/traction control system sensors are not serviceable separately from the RCM. If a new sensor/accelerometer is needed, a new RCM must be installed.
| DTC Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|
|
If the ABS module receives sensor information when the vehicle is not moving, the applicable DTC sets. |
|
This DTC indicates that the sensor is inconsistent with other stability sensor, steering wheel angle sensor and wheel speed sensor signals. |
|
This DTC can set as a result of a loss of communication with the RCM over either the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus or the dedicated CAN bus. |
|
This DTC can set if either the dedicated CAN circuit VCA23 (BU/WH) or VCA24 (GN/OG) are open, shorted to ground or shorted to each other. Other DTCs indicating missing messages or invalid signal from the RCM sensors can set as a result of a dedicated CAN bus fault. |
|
This DTC indicates that one or more of the stability control sensors internal to the RCM have failed and the RCM is transmitting an "invalid data" message. |
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- RCM
