What Does the C1445 Code Mean?

The Skid Control ECU (Brake Actuator Assembly) acquires a steering sensor zero point every time the ignition switch is turned to ON and the vehicle is driven at 35 km/h (22 mph) or more for approximately 5 seconds. The ECU also stores the previous zero point. The steering sensor zero point malfunction warning is canceled by turning the ignition switch off. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be when the steering sensor zero point calibration cannot be obtained when the vehicle is driven without a record of steering sensor zero point calibration at a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) or more for 30 seconds or more without the brake pedal being depressed.
