Toyota Corolla Cross: Steering Angle Sensor (C1297)

Toyota Corolla Cross (2022-2024) Service Manual / Drivetrain / Gf1a (transfer / 4wd / Awd) / Dynamic Torque Control Awd System / Steering Angle Sensor (C1297)

DESCRIPTION

The 4WD ECU assembly receives signals from the steering sensor, and thereby detects the steering angle of the steering wheel assembly to determine when the vehicle is turning.

When an abnormal signal is received from the steering sensor, the 4WD ECU assembly stores DTC C1297.

DTC No.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK FOR DTC

(a) Clear the DTC.

Chassis > Four Wheel Drive > Clear DTCs

(b) Turn the ignition switch off.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON again and check that no CAN communication system DTC(s) is output.

(d) Start the engine.

(e) Drive the vehicle at a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph), turn the steering wheel to the right and left and check that no electronically controlled brake system (steering sensor) DTC is output.

Chassis > Brake/EPB > Trouble Codes

Result

Proceed to

Neither CAN communication system DTC nor electronically controlled brake system DTC is output

A

CAN communication system DTC is output
