DESCRIPTION The airbag ECU
assembly has a built-in yaw rate and acceleration sensor and detects the
vehicle condition using 2 circuits (GL1, GL2). If
the identification ID of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag
ECU assembly) is different to that stored in the skid control ECU (brake
booster with master cylinder assembly), DTC C1240 is stored. |

| MONITOR DESCRIPTION
When
an incompatible yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly)
is installed and the skid control ECU (brake booster with master
cylinder assembly) receives a signal differing from the yaw rate and
acceleration sensor that should be installed, the skid control ECU
(brake booster with master cylinder assembly) judges that the signal is
abnormal and illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC. MONITOR STRATEGY |

- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
- Turn the power switch off.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Wait 1 second.
- Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Trouble Codes.
- Read the DTCs.
HINT:
- If a DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- If the DTCs are not output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs.

HINT:
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTCs are output, the system is normal.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
- After replacing the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder
assembly), perform linear solenoid valve offset learning, ABS holding
solenoid valve learning, yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point
calibration and system information memorization after performing "Reset
Memory".

- After replacing or reinstalling the yaw rate and acceleration sensor
(airbag ECU assembly), perform yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero
point calibration after clearing previously calibrated data.
