SH AWD DTC Troubleshooting: 33-2, 33-3
DTC 33-2, 33-3:
Yaw Rate Sensor Malfunction
NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Differential Assembly/Testing
and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Check for DTCs in the VSA system with the HDS.
Are any yaw rate sensor DTCs indicated?
YES -
Go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.?
NO -
Go to step 3.
3. Test-drive the vehicle with an assistant. Drive in a left and right zig-zag pattern at about 13 mph (20 km/h) and check the YAW RATE
SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Does the sensor value change when turning?
YES -
Go to step 4.
NO -
Update the SH-AWD control unit if it does not have the latest software See: Powertrain Management/Transmission Control Systems/Relays and
Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain/Relays and Modules - Differential/Control Unit/Testing and Inspection/SH-AWD Control Unit Update, or
substitute a known-good SH-AWD control unit See: Powertrain Management/Transmission Control Systems/Relays and Modules - Transmission
and Drivetrain/Relays and Modules - Differential/Control Unit/Service and Repair, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with the
updated SH-AWD control unit, troubleshooting is complete. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good SH-AWD control unit,
replace the original SH-AWD control unit See: Powertrain Management/Transmission Control Systems/Relays and Modules - Transmission and
Drivetrain/Relays and Modules - Differential/Control Unit/Service and Repair.?
4. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
5. Check the YAW RATE SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Is there 3.5 deg/s or less?
YES -
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. If the DTC returns, replace the SH-AWD control unit See: Powertrain
Management/Transmission Control Systems/Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain/Relays and Modules - Differential/Control
Unit/Service and Repair.?
NO -
Do the yaw rate-lateral/longitudinal acceleration neutral position memorization See: Brakes and Traction Control/Antilock Brakes / Traction
Control Systems/Yaw Rate Sensor/Testing and Inspection. If the DTC returns, replace the SH-AWD control unit See: Powertrain
Management/Transmission Control Systems/Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain/Relays and Modules - Differential/Control
Unit/Service and Repair.?
