DTC C1732: Lateral G Sensor

DTC detecting condition: 

Trouble symptom: 

  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.

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

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

    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 Subaru Select Monitor, display [Lateral G Sensor] and [Longitudinal G Sensor] of [Data Monitor]. fifeRef. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DATA MONITOR .

    Are the values of [Lateral G Sensor] and [Longitudinal G Sensor] -2 - 2 m/s2 ?

    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. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>WORK SUPPORT .
    2. Perform the VDC sensor midpoint setting mode. Ref. 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. Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM&H/U) .

  5. PERFORM DRIVING TEST  . Ref. 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. Ref. 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 Subaru Select Monitor, display [Lateral G Sensor] and [Longitudinal G Sensor] of [Data Monitor]. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DATA MONITOR .

    Are the values of [Lateral G Sensor] and [Longitudinal G Sensor] -1.5 - 1.5 m/s2 ?

    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. Ref. 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 Subaru Select Monitor, display [Lateral G Sensor] and [Longitudinal G Sensor] of [Data Monitor]. Ref. 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] -1.5 - 1.5 m/s2 ?

    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. Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM&H/U) .
