Code No.C1382: G-sensor malfunction (Low voltage)
Code No.C1383: G-sensor malfunction (High voltage)












caution
  • If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C, Trouble Code Diagnosis ).
  • Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the communication circuit is normal.

OPERATION


The G-sensor detects the acceleration level in the forward/reverse direction of the vehicle, converts the signals into voltage signals and then sends that signal to the ABS-ECU.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS


This diagnosis code will be set under the cases below.
Code No.C1382
  • With diagnosis codes No. C1365 being not set, the input value from the G-sensor is excessive low.
Code No.C1383
  • With diagnosis codes No. C1365 being not set, the input value from the G-sensor is excessive high.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Damaged wiring harness or connector
  • Malfunction of the G-sensor
  • Malfunction of the ABS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnosis.


Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C, CAN Bus Line Diagnostic Flow ). Then go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines


Erase the diagnosis code.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No.C1382 or No.C1383 set?

Go to Step 3.
The procedure is complete.

(3)Resistance between the A-01 ABS-ECU connector terminal No.9 and the C-124 G-sensor connector terminal No.2.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.

An open circuit may be present in the signal circuit. Repair the wiring harness between the A-01 ABS-ECU terminal No.9 and the C-124 G-sensor connector terminal No.2. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 7. Voltage measurement at C-124 G-sensor connector.


(1)Disconnect the C-124 G-sensor connector and A-01 ABS-ECU connector, and voltage measurement to the wiring harness-side of C-124 G-sensor connector.
(2)Measure the voltage between terminal No.2 and body earth.
OK: Approximately 1 V or less

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.
An short circuit may be present. Repair the wiring harness between the A-01 ABS-ECU terminal No.9 and the C-124 G-sensor connector terminal No.2. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 8. Voltage measurement at C-124 G-sensor connector.


(1)Disconnect the C-124 G-sensor connector and A-01 ABS-ECU connector, and voltage measurement to the wiring harness-side of C-124 G-sensor connector.
(2)Measure the voltage between terminal No.1 and body earth.
OK: Approximately 1 V or less

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.
An short circuit may be present. Repair the wiring harness between the A-01 ABS-ECU terminal No.6 and the C-124 G-sensor connector terminal No.1. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 9. Resistance measurement at A-01 ABS-ECU connector and C-124 G-sensor connector



(1)Disconnect the A-01 ABS-ECU connector, and connect special tool ABS check harness (MB991952) to the wiring harness-side connector.
note Do not connect special tool ABS check harness (MB991952) to the ABS-ECU.
