DTC U0428: Communication error in steering wheel sensor

CAUTION

• If diagnostic trouble code U0428 is set in ASC-ECU, 

always diagnose the CAN bus lines. If there is any fault 
in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect DTC may be set.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN 

bus lines are normal.

• When the steering wheel sensor is replaced, always 

perform calibration to make ASC-ECU learn the neutral 
point. (Refer to 

P.35C-289

.)

• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is 

replaced, after turning the ignition switch ON and OFF 
(vehicle information from ETACS-ECU is registered), 
always perform the calibration of steering wheel sen-
sor, G and yaw rate sensor, brake fluid pressure sen-
sor, cut valve, and inlet valve.(Refer to 

P.35C-287

, 

P.35C-289

, 

P.35C-294

, and 

P.35C-295

.)

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The steering wheel sensor outputs the steering wheel status to 
ASC-ECU via the CAN bus lines.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This diagnostic trouble code is set when ASC-ECU has 
detected the communication error in the steering wheel sensor.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Steering wheel sensor malfunction
• ASC-ECU malfunction
• External noise interference

DIAGNOSIS

35C-218

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958 Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
• MB991827 M.U.T.-III USB Cable
• MB991910 M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus 
lines.
Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Replace the steering wheel sensor.(Refer to 

P.35C-305

.) Then go to Step 2.

NO :  Repair the CAN bus lines. (Refer to GROUP 54C − 

Troubleshooting 

P.54C-15

.) After repairing the CAN 

bus line, go to Step 3.

STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset.
Q: Is DTC U0428 set?

YES : Replace the hydraulic unit (incorporates in 

ASC-ECU).(Refer to 

P.35C-298

.) Then go to Step 3.

NO :  The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. Check whether the DTC is reset.
Q: Is DTC U0428 set?

YES : Return to Step 1.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-

rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this 
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN 

bus lines are normal.

• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is 

replaced, always perform the calibration of steering 
wheel sensor, G and yaw rate sensor, brake fluid pres-
sure sensor, cut valve, and inlet valve.(Refer to 

P.35C-287

, 

P.35C-289

, 

P.35C-294

, and 

P.35C-295

.)

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

AWC-ECU outputs the signal to ASC-ECU via the special CAN 
bus lines (Local CAN).

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

These diagnostic trouble codes will be set under the cases 
below.

DTC U0251

• Signals sent from AWC-ECU to ASC-ECU cannot be 

received for a specified period.

DTC U0440

• Signals sent from AWC-ECU to ASC-ECU have an error.

DTC U0435

• A brake control request of outside the specified range is 

output by AWC-ECU.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Wiring harness or connector failure in special CAN bus lines 

(Local CAN) between ASC-ECU and AWC-ECU

• AWC-ECU malfunction
• ASC-ECU malfunction
