Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Acceleration Sensor Stuck Malfunction (C1232,C1243,C1245,C1279)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Brake Control / Dynamic Control Systems / Vehicle Stability Control System(for Hydraulic Brake Booster) / Acceleration Sensor Stuck Malfunction (C1232,C1243,C1245,C1279)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) receives signals from the yaw rate and acceleration (airbag sensor assembly) via the CAN communication system.

The airbag sensor assembly has a built-in yaw rate and acceleration sensor and detects the vehicle's condition using 2 circuits (GL1, GL2).

If there is trouble in the bus lines between the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) and the CAN communication system, DTCs U0123 (yaw rate sensor communication trouble) and U0124 (acceleration sensor communication trouble) are stored.

These DTCs are also output when calibration has not been completed.

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1232	At vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, signal from either GL1 or GL2 does not change for 30 seconds or more.	A/BAG fuse Sensor installation Harness or connector Yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) CAN communication system
C1243	Following condition repeats 16 times. GL1 and GL2 do not change by more than 2LSB when vehicle decelerates from 30 km/h (19 mph) to 0 km/h (0 mph).
C1245	Following condition continues for at least 60 seconds. Difference between values calculated from acceleration sensor value and vehicle speed exceeds 0.35 G.
C1279	Detected only during test mode	A/BAG fuse Sensor installation Harness or connector Yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly)

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly), perform zero point calibration (See page ).
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

HINT:

When U0073, U0100, U0123, U0124 or U0126 are output together with C1232 or C1234, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by U0073, U0100, U0123, U0124 or U0126 first.

PROCEDURE

CHECK DTC

(a) Clear the DTCs (See page (b) Turn the ignition switch off. ).

(b) Turn the ignition switch off.

Result

Result	Proceed to
DTC U0073, U0123, C1210 and/or C1336 are not output	A
DTC U0073 and/or U0123 are output	B
DTC C1210 and/or C1336 are output	C

GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING)

REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS

2.	CHECK AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

(a) Check that the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) is installed properly (See page OK: ).

OK:

The sensor is tightened to the specified torque.

The sensor is not tilted.

INSTALL AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY CORRECTLY

3.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IG2, E1, E2 TERMINAL)

(a) Disconnect the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) connector.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
A21-21 (IG2) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	11 to 14 V

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A21-25 (E1) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω
A21-26 (E2) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω
