PREPARATION:
(a) Clear the DTC.
(b) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
CHECK:
Check if the same DTC still remains in the memory.
RESULT:
DTC is outputA
DTC is not outputB
B END.
A
Replace skid control ECU with actuator
(See page BR±52).
NOTICE:

DTCC1232 / 32, C1244 / 44Deceleration Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU receives signals from the yaw rate sensor (deceleration sensor) via the CAN2 commu-
nication system.
The yaw rate sensor has a built±in deceleration sensor.
This sensor detects deceleration on the vehicle. The sensor signal is used in ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC
control.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area

When any of the following conditions are detected:
1. When the supplied voltage to the yaw rate & decelera-
tion sensor becomes 18 V or more or 6.5 V or less.
2. When the longitudinal deceleration output becomes 4.8
V or more or 0.2 V or less per 0.5 second.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check the yaw rate (deceleration) sensor installation.
CHECK:
Check the yaw rate (deceleration) sensor installation.
OK:
The sensor should be tightened to the specified
torque.
The sensor should not be tilted.
NG Install yaw
rate (deceleration) sensor correctly.
OK
2 Check output value of the yaw rate sensor.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the 2 bolts and the yaw rate (deceleration) sen-
sor assembly with the connector still connected.
(b) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and push the
hand±held tester main switch ON.
(d) Select DATA LIST mode on the hand±held tester.
CHECK:
Check that the decelerate value of the deceleration sensor dis-
played on the hand±held tester changes: Place the decelera-
tion sensor vertically to the ground and turn the sensor to the
frontward and rearward.
