Test Step 1 - Test for DTC C123B - ESP System Control Too Long

NOTE:

If other DTCs are set they must be repaired before continuing. to help in the service of the ESP System, it is recommend speaking to the customer to find out what type of environment they were driving in when the ESP concern took place, heavy rain, snow or ice. This should be considered normal operation and no repair is necessary. This DTC may set while driving under excessive driving conditions.

Turn the ignition ON.
Perform ECU initialization with drive test. Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST (2009 - 2011) or ABS VERIFICATION TEST (2012 & UP) .

NOTE:

Drive test must be performed correctly for ECU to initialize.

Cycle the ignition switch from OFF to ON.

Did the ECU initialization/drive test pass?

Yes

Go to Test Step 2

Refer to associated drive test diagnostic procedure.
Refer to ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS OPERATION .

Test Step 2 - Test Steering Angle Signal

Turn steering wheel so wheels point in a straight ahead position.
With scan tool read Steering Angle Sensor Signal.

Is the steering angle reading within ±6 degrees?

Yes

Go to Test Step 4

Go to Test Step 3

Test Step 3 - Test Steering Angle Installation and Wheel Alignment

NOTE:

Proper steering angle sensor installation is crucial for proper operation.

Turn the ignition OFF.
Inspect the vehicle for damage causing tracking problems or steering wheel misalignment.
Inspect the steering column and intermediate shaft for damage.
Verify that the Steering Angle Sensor is properly installed.

Were any problems found?

Yes

Repair as necessary.
Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST (2009 - 2011) or ABS VERIFICATION TEST (2012 & UP) .

Replace the steering angle sensor. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST (2009 - 2011) or ABS VERIFICATION TEST (2012 & UP) .

Test Step 4 - Test Hydraulic System and Brake System Component Installation and Function

Verify that the anti lock brakes module and hydraulic control unit are properly installed.
Verify that the hydraulic system is properly filled and bled.
Verify that the brake system components are installed and functioning properly.

Were any problems found?

Yes

Repair as necessary.
Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST (2009 - 2011) or ABS VERIFICATION TEST (2012 & UP) .

Go to Test Step 5

Test Step 5 - Replace the Integrated Control Module and Verify if the DTC is Still Active

Replace the integrated control module. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST (2009 - 2011) or ABS VERIFICATION TEST (2012 & UP) .
Connect all previously disconnected components and connectors.
Turn the ignition ON.
With the scan tool, erase ABS DTCs.
Cycle the ignition switch.

WARNING:

Ensure brake capability is available before road testing.

Test drive the vehicle by turning the vehicle left or right in a curving manner at a velocity between 10 and 20 km/h (6 and 12 m.p.h.).
Park the vehicle.
With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs.

Does this DTC reset?

Yes

Replace the dynamics sensor. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
Perform ABS Verification Test. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST (2009 - 2011) or ABS VERIFICATION TEST (2012 & UP) .

Test complete.
