Code No.C1387: Lateral G-sensor function decrease



caution
  • If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C, CAN Bus Diagnosis Table ).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.

OPERATION


The G and yaw rate sensor output signal is sent to TCL/ASC-ECU via the CAN bus lines.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS


If the G and yaw rate sensor determines that its incorporated lateral G-sensor has a trouble, it sends the diagnostic signal to the TCL/ASC-ECU. When TCL/ASC-ECU receives this diagnostic signal, it determines that the sensor has a trouble and sets the diagnosis code.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of the G and yaw rate sensor
  • Malfunction of TCL/ASC-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics


Use the M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Repair the CAN bus lines. (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting .) On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines


Q. Is the diagnosis code No.C1387 set?

Go to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. G and yaw rate sensor installation state check


Check that the G and yaw rate sensor is installed correctly (not tilted).

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.
Reinstall the G and yaw rate sensor (Refer to ). Then go to Step 6.

STEP 4. M.U.T.-III data list


Check the following data list.(Refer to .)

  • Item No. 08: Lateral G sensor

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Replace the G and yaw rate sensor (Refer to ). Then go to Step 6.

STEP 5. Diagnosis code recheck


(1)Ignition switch: "ON"
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Ignition switch: "LOCK" (OFF)
(4)Start the engine.
(5)Drive the vehicle at 40 km/h or more.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No.C1387 set?

Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with TCL/ASC-ECU) (Refer to ). Then go to Step 6.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 6. Diagnosis code recheck


(1)Ignition switch: "ON"
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Ignition switch: "LOCK" (OFF)
(4)Start the engine.
(5)Drive the vehicle at 40 km/h or more.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No.C1387 set?

Return to Step 1.
This diagnosis is complete.
