DTC C1784/84: Steering Sensor Signal Malfunction: Procedure

  1. CHECK DTC 
    1. Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
    2. Perform a road test.
    3. Check if DTCs C1784/84 and U0126/71 are output. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
      RESULT

      Condition Proceed to
      DTC is not output or only DTC 1784/84 is output A
      DTCs 1784/84 and U0126/71 are output B

    B → See step   5 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK DTC (VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM) 
    1. Check for steering angle sensor malfunction DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
      RESULT

      Condition Proceed to
      DTC is not output A
      DTC is output B

    B → See step   6 

    A: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE AND RESISTANCE (IG, BAT, ESS) 
    1. Disconnect the G21 steering angle sensor connector.
    2. Measure the voltage and resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      G21-5 (IG) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
      G21-6 (BAT) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G21-2 (ESS) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    3. Check that the steering angle sensor connector is not deformed or corroded.

      OK

      No deformation or corrosion.

      HINT: 

      If the steering angle sensor connector is defective, replace the spiral cable sub-assembly.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STEERING ANGLE) 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    4. Turn the Techstream on.
    5. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Air suspension / Data List.
      AIR SUSPENSION

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Steering Angle Steering angle/
      Min.: -49152.0 deg
      Max.: 49150.5 deg
      Actual steering angle
      Steering wheel turned left: reading increases
      Steering wheel turned right: reading decreases
      -

      OK

      Steering wheel turning angle value changes when steering wheel is turned.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK → See step   8 

  5. GO TO DTC U0126/71. Refer to  DTC U0100/71: Lost Communication with ECM/PCM "A"; DTC U0114/71: Lost Communication with Four-Wheel Drive Clutch Control Module; DTC U0122/71: Lost Communication with Vehicle Dynamics Control Module; DTC U0124/71: Lost Communication with Lateral Acceleration Sensor Module; DTC U0126/71: Lost Communication with Steering Angle Sensor Module; DTC U0140/71: Lost Communication with Body Control Module  
  6. GO TO VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART). Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART 
  7. REPLACE SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  8. REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU. Refer to  REMOVAL
