Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: 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.
If front wheel alignment or steering wheel position is adjusted without disconnecting the negative battery terminal, or if yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point is not acquired after the adjustments have been completed, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) detects the difference between the previous zero point and newly acquired zero point and outputs this DTC to indicate a poor adjustment.
The steering angle sensor zero point malfunction warning will be canceled by turning the ignition switch off.

Steering Angle Sensor Zero Point Malfunction |
The steering angle sensor zero point calibration position vastly differs from the recorded value. |
|
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform zero point
calibration and store system information (See page
.gif)
).
PROCEDURE
|
1. |
PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR |
(a) Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (See
page ).
HINT:
- When the stored zero point of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor is cleared, the steering angle sensor zero point will also be cleared.
- If the zero point and output value of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor and the output value of the speed sensors are not normal, steering angle sensor zero point cannot be acquired normally even if the vehicle is driven straight ahead at 35 km/h (22 mph) or more.

2. |
PERFORM STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION |
(a) Drive the vehicle straight ahead at 35 km/h (22 mph) or more for at least 5 seconds.
(b) Check that the centered position of the steering wheel is correctly set while driving straight ahead.
HINT:
If front wheel alignment and steering position are adjusted as a result of abnormal centered position of the steering wheel, acquire the yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point again after the adjustments are completed.
OK:
The centered position of the steering wheel is correctly set.

Diameter of the Tire is not Uniform (C1337)
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) measures the speed of each wheel
by receiving signals from the speed sensors. These signals are used for recognizing
whether all 4 wheel ...

Vehicle Speed Sensor "A" No Signal (P050031)
DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to
the skid control ECU. The skid control ECU converts these wheel speed signals into
a pulse signal and outputs it to the ECM via the combination meter. The ECM determines
the vehicle speed based on the fr ...
A-TRAC Indicator Light does not Come ON
DESCRIPTION
The A-TRAC does not operate even if the A-TRAC switch is pressed under the following
conditions:
The TRAC or VSC system is faulty.
The temperature inside the hydraulic brake booster increases and the
A-TRAC operation is suspended.

Rear Left Sensor Malfunction (C1AE6)
DESCRIPTION
The No. 1 ultrasonic sensor (rear corner sensor LH) is installed on the rear
bumper. The ECU detects obstacles based on signals received from the No. 1 ultrasonic
sensor (rear corner sensor LH). If the No. 1 ultrasonic sensor (rear corner sensor
LH) has an open circuit or other ma ...
