Circuit/System Description

The lateral accelerometer and the yaw rate sensors are combined into one sensor external to the electronic brake control module (EBCM). The vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) uses the lateral accelerometer input when calculating the desired yaw rate. The usable output signal is a serial data signal CAN high and CAN low serial data circuits.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition switch is in the ON position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The yaw/lateral combination sensor fails an internal self test.
    • Communication is lost between the EBCM and the yaw/lateral combination sensor.
    • The correlation error between the yaw/lateral combination sensor and steering angle sensor.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

One or more of the following actions may occur:

    • The vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) is disabled.
    • Traction control system (TCS) is disabled.
    • The TCS/VSES indicators turn ON.
    • The driver information center (DIC) displays the Service Traction Control, and or Service Stabilitrak message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
    • The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Diagnostic Aids

Possible causes of this DTC are as follows:

    • CAN HI and CAN LO circuits shorted together
    • CAN HI or CAN LO circuit shorted to ground
    • CAN HI or CAN LO circuit shorted to voltage

Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Yaw Rate/Lateral Accelerometer sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    3. ⇒If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for ignition voltage between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    4. ⇒If not within the specified range, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
  5. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the following terminal listed below and ground.
    6. • CAN Bus High serial data circuit terminal 37
    • CAN Bus Low serial data circuit terminal 24
    ⇒If greater than the specified value, test the appropriate serial data circuit for a short to voltage.
  6. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the following terminal listed below and ground.
    7. • CAN Bus High serial data circuit terminal 37
    • CAN Bus Low serial data circuit terminal 24
    ⇒If not the specified value, test the appropriate serial data circuit for a short to ground.
  7. Test for less than 2 ohms between the appropriate serial data circuit terminals listed below.
    8. • CAN Bus High serial data circuit terminal 37 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal 3 at the Yaw Rate/Lateral Accelerometer sensor harness connector.
    • CAN Bus Low serial data circuit terminal 24 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal 2 at the Yaw Rate/Lateral Accelerometer sensor harness connector.
    ⇒If greater than the specified range, test the appropriate serial data circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the steering angle sensor.
  8. Test for infinite resistance between the CAN Bus High serial data circuit terminal 37 and the CAN Bus Low serial data circuit terminal 24.
    9. ⇒If not the specified value, repair the serial data circuits for a short together.
  9. If all circuits test normal, replace the Yaw Rate/Lateral Accelerometer sensor. If the DTC resets, replace the EBCM.
