Code No.C1505: Steering Wheel Sensor (Signal Seizure or Abnormal Neutral Point)
Code No.C1506: Steering Wheel Sensor (Steering Wheel Sensor Malfunction)


caution If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Diagnose the CAN bus lines before the diagnosis codes (Refer to GROUP 54C, CAN bus-line diagnostic flow ).
caution The steering wheel sensor-related diagnosis code may be set when diagnosis code No.C1506 is set. Diagnose the steering wheel sensor first when the steering wheel sensor-related diagnosis code is set.

OPERATION


The steering wheel sensor detects a steering wheel angle and sends it to ASTC-ECU via the CAN bus line.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITION


These diagnosis codes are set in the following cases:
Code No.C1505
Code No.C1506

PROBABLE CAUSES


The most likely causes for these diagnosis codes to set are:

DIAGNOSIS

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


caution Before connecting or disconnecting the M.U.T.-III, turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(1)Connect M.U.T.-III to the 16-pin diagnosis connector.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the check result?

Go to Step 3.

Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C, CAN bus line Diagnostic flow ). Then go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


caution Before connecting or disconnecting the M.U.T.-III, turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(6)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is code No.C1505 or C1506 set?

Replace the steering wheel sensor. (Refer to .)Then go to Step 3.

The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(6)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is code No.C1505 or C1506 set?

Replace the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASTC-ECU). Then go to Step 4.

It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction .

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(6)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is code No.No.C1505 or C1506 set?

Go to Step 1.

The procedure is complete.
