C1914





SUSPENSION CONTROL: ACTIVE STABILIZER SUSPENSION SYSTEM: C1914: DC / DC Converter Overload
C1914 - DC / DC Converter Overload

DESCRIPTION

If the rear active stabilizer control ECU receives an overheat signal from the power steering converter, control is stopped to protect the power steering converter from overheating, and DTC C1914 is output. The power steering converter sends its condition information from terminal WDD1 to the power steering ECU, and from terminal WDD3 to the rear active stabilizer control ECU. The power steering converter supplies power to the front active stabilizer control actuator, rear active stabilizer control actuator and power steering system. As a result, extensive steering, such as rotating the steering wheel from lock to lock for dozens of times with the vehicle stationary, may be causing the power steering converter to overheat. If the temperature returns to normal, the system returns to normal operation.





INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (DC/DC STATUS)

(a) In order for the converter to cool down, turn the power switch OFF and wait 30 minutes or more.

(b) While waiting, check if there are factors that may be causing high temperatures around the power steering converter, and take measures to eliminate those factors.

(c) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the power switch ON (READY) and the Techstream on.

(e) Follow the Techstream screen display and display the rear active stabilizer Data List screen. Select the "DC/DC STATUS" or "DC/DC Status" item and check the output condition of terminal WDD3.
