3-1

DTC 3-1: Yaw Rate-Lateral/Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor Range/Performance Problem (Yaw Rate Signal-Lateral Acceleration Signal Incorrect Correlation)

DTC 3-3: Yaw Rate-Lateral/Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor Malfunction (Lateral Acceleration Sensor)

DTC 3-6: Yaw Rate-Lateral/Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor Malfunction (Yaw Rate Sensor)

DTC 3-7: Yaw Rate-Lateral/Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor Range/Performance Problem (Wheel Speed Signal-Longitudinal Acceleration Signal Incorrect Correlation)

DTC 3-9: Yaw Rate-Lateral/Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor Malfunction (Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor)

DTC 3-A: Yaw Rate-Lateral/Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor Malfunction

NOTE: If DTC 8-6 is stored at the same time as DTC 3-1, DTC 3-3, DTC 3-6, DTC 3-7, DTC 3-9, or DTC 3-A, troubleshoot DTC 8-6 first, then recheck for DTC 3-1, DTC 3-3, DTC 3-6, DTC 3-7, DTC 3-9, or DTC 3-A.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Test-drive the vehicle around a corner for 2 seconds or more.
5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC 3-1, 3-3, 3-6, 3-7, 3-9, or 3-A indicated?

YES - Go to step 6.

NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor or loose connections between the yaw rate lateral/longitudinal acceleration sensor and the active damper control unit.

6. Check for VSA system DTCs with the HDS.

Is any DTC indicated?

YES - Go to the indicated VSA system DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - Go to step 7.

7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
8. Substitute a known-good yaw rate-lateral/longitudinal acceleration sensor.
9. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
10. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
11. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
12. Test-drive the vehicle around a corner for 2 seconds or more.
13. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC 3-1, 3-3, 3-6, 3-7,3-9, or 3-A indicated?

YES - Replace the active damper control unit.

NO - Replace the original yaw rate-lateral/longitudinal acceleration sensor.
