Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2026 Repair Manual: Steering Angle Sensor Module Signal Stuck In Range (C05262A)

Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2026 Repair Manual / Brake / Brake Control / Dynamic Control Systems / Vehicle Stability Control System / Steering Angle Sensor Module Signal Stuck In Range (C05262A)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives signals from the steering angle sensor via CAN communication.

HINT:

When a malfunction occurs in the communication line to the steering angle sensor, U012687 is output.

If a DTC related to the CAN communication line is output, first troubleshoot the CAN communication line.

DTC No.

Steering Angle Sensor Module Signal Stuck In Range

Normal communication between the skid control ECU and the steering angle sensor and abnormal steering angle sensor zero point.
  • Steering angle sensor
  • Wire harness and connector

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

PROCEDURE

1.

CLEAR DTC

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Operate the Techstream to clear the codes. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Brake/EPB / Trouble Codes.

Chassis > Brake/EPB > Clear DTCs

(d) Press the DTC clear button.

(e) Turn the engine switch off.

NEXT

2.

RECONFIRM DTC

(a) Turn the engine switch on (IG) and check that no CAN communication system DTCs are output.

HINT:

Click here

(b) Start the engine.

(c) Drive the vehicle at a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) and turn the steering wheel to the right and left.

(d) Read the DTCs following the prompts on the Techstream. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Brake/EPB / Trouble Codes.

Chassis > Brake/EPB > Trouble Codes

(e) Check that no speed sensor or yaw rate sensor (yaw rate and acceleration sensor) DTCs are output.

Result

Proceed to

DTC C05262A is output.

A

CAN communication system DTCs are output.

B

Speed sensor and/or yaw rate sensor (yaw rate and acceleration sensor) DTCs are output.

C

HINT:

  • If a speed sensor, or the yaw rate sensor (yaw rate and acceleration sensor) is malfunctioning, DTCs for the steering angle sensor may be stored even though the steering angle sensor is normal.
  • If speed sensor and yaw rate sensor (yaw rate and acceleration sensor) DTCs are output simultaneously, repair these malfunctions and then inspect the steering angle sensor.
