Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK YAW RATE & LATERAL G SENSOR 
POWER SUPPLY.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from yaw rate & 
lateral G sensor.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between yaw rate & 
lateral G sensor and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B230) No. 3 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

Is the voltage 10 — 15 V?

Go to step 4.

Go to step 2.

2

CHECK OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF VDCCM&H/
U.
Measure the voltage between VDCCM&H/U 
and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B310) No. 30 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

Is the voltage 10 — 15 V?

Repair the har-
ness between yaw 
rate & lateral G 
sensor and 
VDCCM&H/U.

Go to step 3.

3

CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTORS. Is there poor contact in con-

nector?

Correct or replace 
the connector.

Go to step 10.

4

CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT OF YAW RATE & 
LATERAL G SENSOR.
Measure the resistance between yaw rate & 
lateral G sensor and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B230) No. 6 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance less than 0.5 
Ω?

Go to step 7.

Go to step 5.

5

CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT OF VDCCM&H/U.
Measure the resistance between VDCCM&H/U 
and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B310) No. 16 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance less than 0.5 
Ω?

Repair the har-
ness between yaw 
rate & lateral G 
sensor and 
VDCCM&H/U.

Go to step 6.

6

CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTORS. Is there poor contact in con-

nector?

Correct or replace 
the connector.

Go to step 10.

7

CHECK YAW RATE & LATERAL G SENSOR 
HARNESS.
1) Disconnect the connector from VDCCM&H/
U.
2) Measure the resistance between 
VDCCM&H/U and yaw rate & lateral G sensor.

Connector & terminal

(B310) No. 28 — (B230) No. 4:

Is the resistance less than 0.5 
Ω?

Go to step 8.

Repair the har-
ness between yaw 
rate & lateral G 
sensor and 
VDCCM&H/U.

8

CHECK GROUND SHORT OF HARNESS.
Measure the resistance between VDCCM&H/U 
connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B310) No. 28 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance more than 1 
M

Ω?

Go to step 9.

Repair the har-
ness between yaw 
rate & lateral G 
sensor and 
VDCCM&H/U.

9

CHECK YAW RATE & LATERAL G SENSOR.
1) Connect all the connectors.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3) Check the signal pattern of oscilloscope 
between VDCCM&H/U connector terminals. 
<Ref. to VDC(diag)-15, WAVEFORM, MEA-
SUREMENT, Control Module I/O Signal.>

Connector & terminal

(B310) No. 2 — No. 16:
(B310) No. 28 — No. 16:

Is the oscilloscope pattern the 
same waveform as shown in 
the figure?

Go to step 10.

Replace the yaw 
rate & lateral G 
sensor.

VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC) (DIAGNOSTICS)

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

10

CHECK YAW RATE & LATERAL G SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect all the connectors.
3) Perform the clear memory mode.
4) Perform the inspection mode.
5) Read the DTC.

Is the same DTC displayed?

Replace the 
VDCCM&H/U. 
<Ref. to VDC-7, 
VDC Control Mod-
ule and Hydraulic 
Control Unit 
(VDCCM&H/U).>

Go to step 11.

11

CHECK OTHER DTC DETECTION.

Is any other DTC displayed?

Perform the diag-
nosis according to 
DTC.

Temporary poor 
contact occurs.
