Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Check the condition of each related circuit connector before troubleshooting (see HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING ).

1. CHECK FOR DTC 
   1. Clear the DTC (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
   2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
   3. Turn the ignition switch ON again and check that no CAN communication system DTC(s) is output.
   4. Start the engine.
   5. Drive the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to the right and left at a speed of 35 km/h (24 mph) and check that no brake control system (steering angle sensor) DTC (C1231/31) is output (see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART ).

      Result	Proceed to
      Neither CAN communication system DTC nor brake control system DTC is output	A
      CAN communication system DTC is output	B
      Brake control system (steering angle sensor) DTC (C1231/31) is output	C

      HINT:

      When DTCs indicating a CAN communication system malfunction are output, repair the CAN communication system before repairing each corresponding sensor.

   B: REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATOR OUTPUT CODE (CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM) 

   C: REPAIR OR REPLACE CIRCUIT INDICATOR OUTPUT CODE (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR CIRCUIT) 

   A: Go to next step 

2. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR - BATTERY) 
   1. Disconnect the E11 sensor connector.
   2. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

   OK: Go to next step 

3. : CHECK WIRE HARNESS (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR - BODY GROUND) 
   1. Disconnect the E11 sensor connector.
   2. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
