VSA DTC Troubleshooting: 86-15

DTC 86-15:

F-CAN Communication With Yaw Rate-Acceleration Sensor Malfunction

NOTE:

- Troubleshoot any fuel and emissions DTCs first.
- Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) and then back to ON (II).

4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC 86-15 indicated?

YES -

If DTC 86-11 is indicated at the same time, do the DTC 86-11 troubleshooting first 86-11. If DTC 86-11 is not indicated, go to step 5.

NO -

If any other DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting. If DTCs are not indicated, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose terminals between the yaw rate-acceleration sensor 5P connector and the VSA modulator-control unit 36P connector. Refer to intermittent failures troubleshooting.�

5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

6. Disconnect the yaw rate-acceleration sensor 5P connector Service and Repair.

7. Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 36P connector Service and Repair.

8. Check for continuity between the VSA modulator-control unit 36P connector terminal and the yaw rate-acceleration sensor 5P connector terminal (see table).









Is there continuity?

YES -

Go to step 9.

NO -

Repair an open in the wire between the yaw rate-acceleration sensor and the VSA modulator-control unit.�

9. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

10. Measure the voltage between yaw rate-acceleration sensor 5P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.





Is there battery voltage?

YES -

Go to step 11.

NO -

Repair an open in the wire between the No. 18 (15 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the yaw rate-acceleration sensor.�

11. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

12. Reconnect all connectors.

13. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

14. Measure the voltage between yaw rate-acceleration sensor 5P connector terminal No. 5 and body ground.





Is there 0.1 V or less?

YES -

Replace the yaw rate-acceleration sensor Service and Repair.�

NO -

Repair an open in the wire between the yaw rate-acceleration sensor and body ground (G506).�
