Kia Sedona (2008 year). Manual - part 25

YES  



Fault is intermittent caused by open or short in CAN signal harness or was repaired and HECU 
memory was not cleared. Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.  

NO  



Check for open or short in CAN signal harness between terminal "14" of the HECU harness 
connector and terminal "35" of the HECU harness connector. Repair as necessary and then go to 
"VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure.  

VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR 

Refer to DTC C1101. 

DTC C1623 CAN TIME-OUT STEERING ANGLE SENSOR 

COMPONENT LOCATION 

Refer to DTC C1235. 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) is composed of main gear, serve gear1 and serve gear2 to determine the 
turning direction. The SAS is a CAN communication type sensor. If main gear is rotated according to the 
rotation of steering wheel serve gear1 and serve gear2, which is contact with main gear, will be rotated. The 
HECU detects the absolute angle by using magnetic MR effect and the difference gear ratio of each serve gear 
and then send to the CAN communication line. The HECU detects the steering wheel's operating speed and 
operating angle by using absolute angle, and this signal is used in a input signal of anti-roll control. 

DTC DESCRIPTION 

The HECU checks the CAN communication lines for normal ESC control, and sets this code if a SAS message 
is not received within predefined time.

TERMINAL & CONNECTOR INSPECTION 

Refer to DTC C1102. 

POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT INSPECTION 

1. Ignition "ON".  

2. Measure voltage between terminal "2" of the steering angle sensor harness connector and chassis ground. 

Specification: Approx. B+

3. Is the measured voltage within specifications? 

YES  



Go to "GROUND CIRCUIT INSPECTION" procedure.  

NO  



Check for damaged harness and poor connection between the battery terminal (+) and terminal "2" 
of the steering angle sensor harness connector. Check for open or blown 10 A ABS fuse referring to 
"Circuit Diagram". Repair as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE 
REPAIR" procedure.  

GROUND CIRCUIT INSPECTION 



Inhibit the ESC control and 
ABS/EBD control is 
available. Meanwhile, stop 
checking the ESC switch 
failure under the ESC 
control.

4. Is the measured resistance within specifications? 

YES  



Go to "CAN CIRCUIT INSPECTION" procedure.  

NO  



Check for damaged harness and poor connection between terminal "15" of the HECU harness 
connector and terminal "1" of the steering angle sensor harness connector. Repair as necessary and 
then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure.  

CAN CIRCUIT INSPECTION 

1. Ignition "OFF".  

2. Disconnect SAS connector.  

3. Measure resistance between terminal "3, 4" of the steering angle sensor harness connector. 

Specification: Approx. 60 ohms

4. Is the measured resistance within specifications? 

YES  



Check for improper installation of wheel speed sensor. If NG, repair as necessary and then go to 
"VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure.  



If OK, Go to "COMPONENT INSPECTION" procedure.  

NO  



Check for damaged harness and poor connection between terminal "3, 4" of the steering angle 
sensor harness connector. Repair as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE 
REPAIR" procedure.  

COMPONENT INSPECTION 

1. Ignition "OFF".  

2. Engine "ON".  

3. Does warning lamp remain On? 

YES  



Substitute with a known-good steering angle sensor and check for proper operation. If problem is 
corrected, replace sensor and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure.  



Substitute with a known-good HECU and check for proper operation. If problem is corrected, 
replace HECU and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure  

NO  



Fault is intermittent caused by poor connection in power harness (IGN+), inoperative Generator 
and/or inoperative HECU or was repaired and HECU memory was not cleared. Go to the applicable 
troubleshooting procedure.
