DTC 26: Lateral Acceleration Sensor
- Clear the DTC using the HDS (see HOW TO RETRIEVE DTCS ).
- Disconnect the HDS from the 16P DLC.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF, then turn it ON (II) again.
- Test-drive the vehicle around a number of corners.
- Verify the DTC.
Is DTC 64 indicated?
YES - Do the appropriate troubleshooting for the DTC.
NO - Go to step 6.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the VSA control unit 47P connector, steering angle sensor 5P connector and yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor 5P connector.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Measure the voltage between body ground and the VSA control unit 47P connector terminal No. 33, No. 35, and No. 37 individually.Fig 1: Measuring Voltage Between Body Ground And VSA Control Unit 47P Connector Terminal No. 33, No. 35, And No. 37

Is there 1 V or more?
YES - Repair short to power in the wire between the VSA control unit, the yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor and the steering angle sensor.
NO - Go to step 10.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Check for continuity between body ground and the VSA control unit 47P connector terminal No. 33, No. 35, and No. 37 individually.Fig 2: Checking For Continuity Between Body Ground And VSA Control Unit 47P Connector Terminal No. 33, No. 35, And No. 37

Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire between the VSA control unit, the yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor and the steering angle sensor.
NO - Go to step 12.
- Check for continuity between the VSA control unit 47P connector terminal No. 35 and yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor 5P connector terminal No. 2.Fig 3: Checking For Continuity Between VSA Control Unit 47P Connector Terminal No. 35 And Yaw Rate-Lateral Acceleration Sensor 5P Connector Terminal No. 2

Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 13.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the VSA control unit and the yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor.
- Check for continuity between the VSA control unit 47P connector terminal No. 33 and yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor 5P connector terminal No. 4.Fig 4: Checking For Continuity Between VSA Control Unit 47P Connector Terminal No. 33 And Yaw Rate-Lateral Acceleration Sensor 5P Connector Terminal No. 4

Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 14.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the VSA control unit and the yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor.
- Check for continuity between the VSA control unit 47P connector terminal No. 37 and yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor 5P connector terminal No. 5.Fig 5: Checking For Continuity Between VSA Control Unit 47P Connector Terminal No. 37 And Yaw Rate-Lateral Acceleration Sensor 5P Connector Terminal No. 5

Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 15.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the VSA control unit and the yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor.
- Substitute a known-good yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor.
- Reconnect all of the disconnected connectors.
- Clear the DTC using the HDS (see HOW TO RETRIEVE DTCS ).
- Disconnect the HDS from the 16P DLC.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF, then turn it ON (II) again.
- Test-drive the vehicle around a number of corners.
- Verify the DTC.
Is DTC 25 indicated?
YES - Check for loose terminals and repair if necessary. Replace the VSA modulator-control unit (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
NO - Replace the original yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor (see YAW RATE-LATERAL ACCELERATION SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).
