U0126 Lost Communication With Steering Angle Sensor Module

AutoHex Online Help: Hyundai SANTAFE(CM) 2011
Component Location
General Description

Steering Wheel Angle Sensor installed in steering wheel prevents a state of TCB(Tight Corner Braking) by sensing the rotating direction & straight driving of vehicle and is used for EMC(=Electric Magnetic Clutch) duty control. In case of ESP system applied 4WD ECM(=TCCU : Transfer Case Control Unit)receives this signal through CAN line, If it is not the case 4WD ECM receives this signal from Steering Wheel Angle Sensor directly.

? TCB(Tight Corner Braking) : TCB is that the vehicle makes an abnormal noise and hesistation when the vehicle turns left / right fully with low speed on a paved road.



DTC Description

This code related to communication line between ECU and 4WD ECM is set when CAN signal from ECU can't received for more than 1sec or ECU internal error occur.

If failure is detected 4WD ECM prohibits the ITM control.
