DTC C1434: Steering Angle Sensor Output Malfunction: Procedure

  1. CHECK DTC 
    1. Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [12/2011 - ] .
    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 DTC CHECK / CLEAR [12/2011 - ] .
    4. Start the engine.
    5. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) and turn the steering wheel to the right and left, and then check that no speed sensor or yaw rate sensor DTCs are output. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [12/2011 - ] .
      RESULT

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

      HINT: 

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