When the vehicle is
turning with respect to a vertical axis the yaw rate sensor detects the
yaw rate electroniclly by the vibration change of plate fork inside the
yaw rate sensor.
If yaw velocity reaches
the specific velocity after it detects the vehicle' yawing, the ESC
control is reactivated.
The later G sensor
senses vehicle's lateral G. A small element inside the sensor is attached
to a deflectable leverarm by later G.
Direction and magnitude
of lateral G loaded to vehicle can be known with electrostatic capacity
changing according to lateral G.
It interchanges signals
with HECU through extra CAN line which only used for communication between
HECU and sensor.
The HECU checks the
sensor CAN H/W for normal ESC control, and sets this code if a sensor CAN
H/W malfunction is detectedcted.

Terminal and Connector
Inspection |
1. |
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are
caused by poor harness(es) and terminal condition. Faults can also
be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and
mechanical or chemical damage. |
2. |
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness,
poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration,
or damage. |
3. |
Has a problem been found?

|
▶ Repair as
necessary and then go to "Verification Of Vehicle Repair"
procedure.
|

|
▶ Go to
"Component Inspection"
procedure.

1. |
Ignition "OFF" & Engine
"OFF". |
2. |
Ignition "ON" & Engine
"OFF". |
3. |
Connect scantool and select "Diagnostic
Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode. |
4. |
Using a scantool, Clear
DTC. |
5. |
Select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode
again. |
6. |
Are any DTCs present ?

|
▶
Substitute with a known-good HECU and check for proper
operation. If problem is corrected,
replace HECU and then go to "Verification Of Vehicle Repair"
procedure.
|

|
▶ Fault is
intermittent caused by faulty HECU or was repaired and HECU
memory was not cleared. Go to
"Verification Of Vehicle Repair"
procedure.
|
|
Verification of Vehicle
Repair |
After a repair, it is
essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. |
Connect scantool and select "Diagnostic
Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode. |
2. |
Using a scantool, Clear
DTC. |
3. |
Operate the vehicle within DTC Detecting
Condition in General Information. |
4. |
Using a scantool, Check DTC
present. |
5. |
Are any DTCs present ?

|
▶ Go to the
applicable troubleshooting procedure.
|

|
▶ System
performing to specification at this
time.
