Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Yaw Rate Sensor Circuit (C1AA4,C1AA5)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Cruise Control / Forward Recognition Camera System / Yaw Rate Sensor Circuit (C1AA4,C1AA5)

DESCRIPTION

The forward recognition camera receives vehicle stability signals from the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly). If the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) detects an abnormal yaw rate sensor signal or yaw rate sensor power supply voltage, it informs the forward recognition camera via CAN communication, and DTC C1AA4 or C1AA5 is stored.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1AA4	Yaw Rate Sensor Circuit	After the ignition switch is turned to ON for 3 seconds or more, when the vehicle is being driven at a speed of 1 km/h or 1 mph or more, a signal from the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) indicating a malfunction in the yaw rate sensor is detected by the forward recognition camera for 5 seconds or more.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the forward recognition camera, always replace it with a new one. If a forward recognition camera which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the forward recognition camera will not match the information from the vehicle. As a result, a DTC may be stored.
If the forward recognition camera has been replaced with a new one, be sure to perform Forward Recognition Camera Axis Adjustment.
