Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual: Yaw Rate Sensor (C1234,C1472,C1474)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives signals from the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) via CAN communication.

HINT:

If there is a malfunction in the bus lines between the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) and the CAN communication system, DTC U0123 (Lost Communication With Yaw Rate Sensor Module) is output. When U0123 is output together with C1234, C1472 and/or C1474, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by U0123 first.

These DTCs may be stored if one of the following occurs:

  • Yaw rate and acceleration sensor circuit malfunction.
  • Yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) installation abnormality.
  • Yaw rate and acceleration sensor signal malfunction.

DTC No.
