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

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)

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 ).
  • 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
