Steering Angle Sensor Zero Point Malfunction (C1290)
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) acquires steering angle sensor
zero point every time the ignition switch is turned ON and the vehicle is driven
at 35 km/h (22 mph) or more for approximately 5 seconds. The ECU also stores the
previous zero point.

Theft Deterrent System Unexpectedly Sets Itself
DESCRIPTION
A situation in which the theft deterrent system unexpectedly sets itself can
be caused when the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) cannot detect whether
a door is open or closed.
If the theft deterrent system unexpectedly sets itself, there may be a malfunction
in a court ...

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. DESCRIPTION
(a) Blind spot monitor data and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can be read from
the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. When the system seems to be malfunctioning,
use the Techstream to check for malfunctions and to repair it.
2. CHECK DLC3
