DTC Descriptor

DTC C0292 1A
- Multi-Axis Acceleration Sensor Module Circuit Performance - Bias Level Out of Range

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The Lateral Accelerometer and the Yaw Rate Sensors are combined into one sensor called the Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor. The Electronic Brake Control Module supplies a 12 V reference to the Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor. The Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor communicates with the Electronic Brake Control Module via serial data. The module activates the stability control function depending on Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor input.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Ignition ON.

* Ignition voltage is greater than 8 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The Electronic Brake Control Module detects that the sensor supply voltage feedback indicates that the voltage level is less or greater than 1 V for more than 100 milliseconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The Electronic Brake Control Module shuts down the 12 V reference to the multi-axis acceleration sensor.

* The Electronic Brake Control Module disables the vehicle stability enhancement system for the duration of the ignition cycle.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

* The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Verify that B119 Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor is installed correctly.

If loose or incorrect installation
Correct the installation of the component.

If installed correctly

2. Ignition OFF, scan tool disconnected, and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B119 Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.

3. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.

If 5 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.

If less than 5 ohms

4. Ignition ON.

5. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the 12 V reference circuit terminal 5 and ground.

If the test lamp does not illuminate

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the 12 V reference circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the 12 V reference circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.

If the test lamp illuminates

6. Replace the B119 Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor.

7. Verify the DTC does not set while operating the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC.

If the DTC sets
Replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.

If the DTC does not set

8. All OK.
