Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Steering Angle Sensor (C1A47)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Pre-collision / Pre-collision System / Steering Angle Sensor (C1A47)

DESCRIPTION

The millimeter wave radar sensor assembly receives steering angle information from the steering angle sensor (spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly). If the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly detects a steering angle sensor (spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly) malfunction, DTC C1A47 will be stored.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1A47	Steering Angle Sensor	While the vehicle is being driven at a speed of 50 km/h (32 mph) or more, the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly receives a steering angle sensor (spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly) malfunction signal continuously for 1 second or more.	Vehicle stability control system Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a millimeter wave radar sensor assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly will not match the information from the vehicle. As a result, a DTC may be stored.
If the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly has been replaced, be sure to perform millimeter wave radar sensor assembly adjustment.
