Title: VARIABLE GEAR RATIO STEERING: VARIABLE GEAR RATIO STEERING SYSTEM: DESCRIPTION (2008 LX570)

DTC

C15A3/63

Actuator Malfunction

DTC

C15C5/69

Motor Revolution Angle Signal (Test Mode DTC)

DESCRIPTION

The steering actuator drives the internal motor using the current output from the steering control ECU to change the relative angle between the tire angle and steering wheel angle.

The rotation angle sensor in the steering actuator detects the motor rotation angle and outputs this information to the steering control ECU.

If the steering control ECU detects a malfunction in the rotation angle sensor circuit, it will store DTC C15A3/63.

DTC Code

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

C15A3/63

The steering control ECU detects a malfunction in the rotation angle sensor circuit.

  • Harness or connector
  • Steering actuator
  • Steering control ECU

C15C5/69

A steering signal indicating a motor rotation angle of 36° or more (to the left or right) is input after entering test mode.*

  • Harness or connector
  • Steering actuator
  • Steering control ECU

HINT:

*: A tire angle of 36° and a motor rotation angle of 36° correspond to the steering wheel angle. The amount of change in tire angle and motor rotation angle is from when the mode is changed to test mode.
