DTC C1732: Lateral G Sensor

DTC detecting condition: 

• A fault is detected if the sensor signal value is not correct.
• A fault is detected if the steering angle sensor signal/yaw rate sensor signal change while the lateral G sensor signal indicates a constant value.
• A fault is detected if the communication status of lateral G sensor is abnormal.

Trouble symptom: 

• ABS does not operate.
• VDC does not operate.
• AVH does not function.
• EyeSight does not operate.

1. CHECK INSTALLATION OF VDCCM&H/U  .

   Is VDCCM&H/U installed properly without being tilted?

   Is the bracket deformation-free?

   Are the VDCCM&H/U installation bolts installed without missing or getting loose?

   Yes  : Go to  2.

   No  : Repair the defective part.

   • Install VDCCM&H/U properly.
   • Replace the bracket if faulty.
   • Tighten the VDCCM&H/U installation bolt. Refer to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>General Description>COMPONENT>VDC CONTROL MODULE & HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDC CM&H/U) .

     Go to  2.

2. CHECK OUTPUT OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR USING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR  .
   1. Park the vehicle straight on a level surface.
   2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read data of [Steering Angle Sensor] in the [Data Monitor] of [Brake Control]. Refer to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>Data Monitor .

      Is the value of [Steering Angle Sensor] between -10 - 10 [deg]?

      Yes  : Go to  3.

      No  : Check the installation of steering angle sensor.

3. CHECK OUTPUT OF LATERAL G SENSOR AND LONGITUDINAL G SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR  .
   1. Park the vehicle straight on a level surface.
   2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read data of [Lateral G Sensor], [Longitudinal G Sensor] in the [Data Monitor] of [Brake Control]. Refer to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>Data Monitor .

      Are the values of [Lateral G Sensor] and [Longitudinal G Sensor] between -2 - 2 [m/s^2]?

      Yes  : Go to  4.

      No  : Recheck from step 1, and if the problem is not solved, Go to  7.

4. SET 0 POINT OF LATERAL G SENSOR AND LONGITUDINAL G SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR  .
   1. Select the [Work Support] using Subaru Select Monitor. Refer to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>WORK SUPPORT .
   2. Perform the VDC sensor midpoint setting mode. Refer to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC Control Module and Hydraulic Control Unit (VDCCM&H/U)>ADJUSTMENT>VDC SENSOR MIDPOINT SETTING MODE .

      Is 0 point setting successful?

      Yes  : Go to  5.

      No  : Recheck from step 1, and when the 0 point setting is not possible, replace the VDCCM&H/U. Refer to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM&H/U) .

5. PERFORM DRIVING TEST  .

   Refer to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>Inspection Mode .

   Does the ABS warning light or VDC warning light illuminate during driving?

   Does ABS or VDC operate abnormally?

   Yes  : Recheck from step 1, and when the warning lights illuminate or improperly operate, replace the VDCCM&H/U. Refer to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM&H/U) .

   No  : Go to  6.

6. CHECK OUTPUT OF LATERAL G SENSOR AND LONGITUDINAL G SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR  .
   1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
   2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read data of [Lateral G Sensor], [Longitudinal G Sensor] in the [Data Monitor] of [Brake Control]. Refer to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>Data Monitor .

      Are the values of [Lateral G Sensor] and [Longitudinal G Sensor] between -1.5 - 1.5 [m/s^2]?

      Yes  : Currently, it is normal. There may have been a temporary poor contact in the harness and connector or a temporary noise interference.

      No  : Recheck from step 1, and if the problem is not solved, replace the VDCCM&H/U. Refer to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM&H/U) .

7. CHECK OUTPUT OF LATERAL G SENSOR AND LONGITUDINAL G SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR  .
   1. Remove the VDCCM&H/U installation bolt and bracket.
   2. Keep VDCCM&H/U in a horizontal position.
   3. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read data of [Lateral G Sensor], [Longitudinal G Sensor] in the [Data Monitor] of [Brake Control]. Refer to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>Data Monitor .

      When the VDCCM & H/U is in a horizontal position, are the values of [Lateral G Sensor] and [Longitudinal G Sensor] between -1.5 - 1.5 [m/s^2]?

      Yes  : Check the bracket and brake pipe, and install VDCCM&H/U in a horizontal position to the vehicle.

      No  : Replace the VDCCM&H/U. Refer to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM&H/U) .
