Code No.U0126 Steering wheel sensor CAN timeout



caution
  • If diagnosis code No. U0126 is set to the ETACS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN bus line.
  • Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the communication circuit is normal.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION


If the signal from steering wheel sensor cannot be received, the ETACS-ECU sets the diagnosis code No. U0126.

JUDGMENT CRITERIA


After the following statuses continue to be true for 5 seconds, if the communication with the steering wheel sensor cannot be established for 600 ms or more, the ETACS-ECU determines that a problem has occurred.


PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics


Use the M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.

Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting ).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code


Check if diagnosis code is set to the steering wheel sensor.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Troubleshoot the steering wheel sensor. Refer to GROUP 35C - Troubleshooting .

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set to the ETACS-ECU.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" position.
(3)Check if diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Replace the steering wheel sensor, then go to Step 4.

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction such as a poor connection or open circuit in the CAN bus lines between the steering wheel sensor and the ETACS-ECU (GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set to the ETACS-ECU.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" position.
(3)Check if diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Replace the ETACS-ECU.
