DTC C1447: External System Malfunction [12/2017 - 09/2018]: Procedure

1. Clear the DTCs.

   Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [12/2017 - 09/2018]

   Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Clear DTCs 

2. Turn the engine switch off.
3. Turn the engine switch on (IG) again and check that no CAN communication system DTCs are output.

   Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [12/2017 - 09/2018]

4. Start the engine.
5. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) or more and turn the steering wheel to the right and left and check that no speed sensor or yaw rate sensor DTCs are output.

   Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [12/2017 - 09/2018]

   Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Trouble Codes 

   HINT: 

   • When CAN communication DTCs are output, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by CAN communication first.
   • If a speed sensor or the yaw rate sensor is malfunctioning, DTCs for the steering sensor may be stored even though the steering sensor is normal.
   • If speed sensor and yaw rate sensor DTCs are output simultaneously, repair these malfunctions and then inspect the steering sensor.
   • If DTC C1447 is not output again, the DTC may have been stored due to a temporary loss of steering sensor zero point calibration, such as a loss of calibration due to the power source voltage being low.

INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [12/2017 - 09/2018] 

Result: 

C 

REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS. Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [12/2017 - 09/2018] 

Result: 

D 

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [12/2017 - 09/2018] 

Result: 

A 

See step  2

1. Drive the vehicle straight ahead at 35 km/h (22 mph) or more for at least 5 seconds.
2. Check that the steering wheel is correctly centered while driving straight ahead.

   HINT: 

   If front wheel alignment and steering are adjusted as a result of an off-center steering wheel, acquire the yaw rate sensor zero point again after the adjustments are completed.

   OK

   The steering wheel is correctly centered.

Result: 

NG 

ADJUST FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT OR STEERING 

for AWD: Refer to ADJUSTMENT [12/2017 - 09/2018]

for 2WD: Refer to ADJUSTMENT [12/2017 - 09/2018]

Result: 

OK 

See step  3

1. Clear the DTCs.

   Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [12/2017 - 09/2018]

   Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Clear DTCs 

2. Start the engine.
3. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) or more and turn the steering wheel to the right and left and check that no speed sensor or yaw rate sensor DTCs are output.

   Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [12/2017 - 09/2018]
