Code No. 32 G-sensor <4WD>

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The G-sensor detects the acceleration level in the forward/reverse direction of the vehicle, converts the signals into voltage signals and then sends that signal to the ABS-ECU.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

This code is output in the following case.

When the G-sensor output is 1.0V or lower or 4.0V or higher (disconnected G-sensor or G-sensor short circuit)

If the G-sensor output power does not change (G-sensor output fastening).

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

The most likely causes for diagnosis code is to set are:

Malfunction of the G-sensor

Damaged wiring harness and connector

Malfunction of the hydraulic unit (integrated with ABS-ECU)

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. MUT-II/III data list.

Set MUT-II/III to data reading mode, and check the data list item.

Item 32: G-sensor

OK:
When vehicle is stationary (level): 2.4 - 2.6 V
When vehicle is being driven: 1.0 - 4.0 V

Q: Is the G-sensor input normal?

YES: This malfunctions is intermittent. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

.
NO: Go to Step 2

STEP 2. Measure the voltage at G-sensor connector D-32.

Disconnect connector D-32, and check at the harness side.

Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES: Go to Step 3

.
NO: Go to Step 4

STEP 3. Measure the resistance at G-sensor connector D-32.

Disconnect connector D-32, and check at the harness side.

Measure the resistance between terminal 3 and earth.

OK: 2 ohms or less

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES: Go to Step 6

.
NO: Go to Step 5

STEP 4. Check the harness wire between junction block connector C-202 terminal 8 and G-sensor connector D-32 terminal 1.

NOTE: After inspecting intermediate connector C-106, inspect the wire. If intermediate connector C-106 is damaged, repair or replace it. Then go to Step 8

Q: Is the harness wire between junction block connector C-202 terminal 8 and G-sensor connector D-32 terminal 1 damaged?

YES: Repair it and go to Step 8

.
NO: Go to Step 8

STEP 5. Check the harness wire between G-sensor connector D-32 terminal 3 and ABS-ECU connector B-03 terminal 8.

Q: Is the harness wire between G-sensor connector D-32 terminal 3 and ABS-ECU connector B-03 terminal 8 damaged?

YES: Repair it and go to Step 8

.
NO: Erase the diagnosis code memory, and recheck if any diagnosis code sets. If diagnosis code No. 32 sets, replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with ABS-ECU) and then go to step 8

STEP 6. Check G-sensor output voltage.

Disconnect connector D-32, and connect special tool harness set (MB991348) between terminals of the disconnected connector.

Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

Measure the voltage between terminal 2 and earth.

OK:
When vehicle is stationary (level): 2.4 - 2.6 V
When vehicle is being driven: 1.0 - 4.0 V

Q: Is G-sensor output voltage normal?

YES: Go to Step 7

.
NO: Replace the G-sensor and go to Step 8

STEP 7. Check the harness wire between G-sensor connector D-32 terminal 2 and ABS-ECU connector B-03 terminal 15.

Q: Is the harness wire between G-sensor connector D-32 terminal 3 and ABS-ECU connector B-03 terminal 15 damaged?

YES: Repair it and go to Step 8

.
NO: Erase the diagnosis code memory, and recheck if any diagnosis code sets. If diagnosis code No. 32 sets, replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with ABS-ECU) and then go to step 8

STEP 8. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.

Q: Does diagnosis code No. 32 reset?

YES: Start over at Step 1

.
NO: The procedure is complete.
