Circuit/System Description

The yaw rate and lateral acceleration sensors are combined into one multi-axis acceleration sensor module, external to the electronic brake control module (EBCM). The EBCM supplies a 12 V reference voltage to the multi-axis acceleration sensor module. The multi-axis acceleration sensor module communicates with the EBCM via the serial data circuit. The EBCM activates the stability control function depending on multi-axis acceleration sensor module input.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C0186 4B

The lateral acceleration sensor is not calibrated.

C0186 5A

The lateral acceleration sensor signal is not plausible with the yaw rate sensor signal, steering angle sensor signal and vehicle speed for 0.5-2 seconds.

C0186 71

The lateral acceleration sensor signal offset is out of specified range.

C0196 00

The yaw rate sensor signal is out of specified range.

C0196 5A

The yaw rate sensor signal does not agree with the lateral acceleration sensor signal, steering angle sensor signal and vehicle speed for 0.25-2 s.

C0287 4B

The longitudinal acceleration sensor signal is out of the specified range.

C0287 5A

The longitudinal acceleration sensor signal is not plausible.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The EBCM disables the stability control for the duration of the ignition cycle.
    • The traction control/stability control-active indicator turns ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • A current DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
    • The EBCM will turn OFF the indicator in the next ignition cycle.

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Verify that DTC C0186 4B or C0287 4B is not set.
  3. [ARW-LISTFAIL]
  4. If any listed DTC are set

    Refer to Vehicle Yaw Sensor Learn prior to this diagnostic.

  5. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]
  6. If none of the listed DTCs are set

  7. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  8. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Inspect the B119 Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor for correct installation.
  2. [ARW-LISTFAIL]
  3. If loose or incorrect installation is diagnosed

    Correct the installation of the component.

  4. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]
  5. If the installation is correct

  6. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  7. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B119 Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor.
  8. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
  9. [ARW-LISTFAIL]
  10. If 5 Ω or greater

  11. [/ARW-LISTFAIL]
