DTC C1434: Steering Angle Sensor Output Malfunction: Procedure

1. Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
2. Turn the engine switch off.
3. Turn the engine switch on (IG) again and check that no CAN communication system DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM .
4. Start the engine.
5. Drive the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to the right and left at a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) and check that no speed sensor or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   No CAN communication system, speed sensor, or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output	A
   CAN communication system DTC is output	B
   Speed sensor or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTC is output	C

   HINT: 

   • If there is a malfunction in any of the speed sensors or the yaw rate and acceleration sensor, an abnormal value may be output although the steering angle sensor is normal.
   • If the speed sensor and yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output simultaneously, repair these 2 sensors first and inspect the steering angle sensor.

2. Remove the steering wheel and the column cover lower.
3. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
4. Disconnect the steering angle sensor connector.
5. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Voltage

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   J23-1 (IG) - Body ground	Engine switch on (IG)	11 to 14 V
   J23-3 (BAT) - Body ground	Always	11 to 14 V
