DTC C1434: Steering Angle Sensor Output Malfunction [08/2015 - ]: Procedure

1. Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2015 - ] .
2. Turn the ignition switch off.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON again and check that no CAN communication system DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2015 - ] .
4. Start the engine.
5. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) and turn the steering wheel to the right and left and then check that no speed sensor or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2015 - ] .

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   No CAN communication system, speed sensor, or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output.	A
   CAN communication system DTC is output.	B
   Speed sensor and/or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTC is output.	C

   HINT: 

   • If there is a malfunction in any of the speed sensors or yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly), DTCs for the steering angle sensor may be stored even though the steering angle sensor is normal.
   • If speed sensor and yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output simultaneously, repair the sensors and then inspect the steering angle sensor.

2. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
3. Disconnect the steering angle sensor connector.
4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Voltage

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition

   HINT: 

   If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step before replacing parts. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [08/2015 - ] .

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (GROUND CIRCUIT) 

OK → See step   6
