To diagnose the C1290 Toyota code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor.

It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
The Skid Control ECU (Brake Actuator Assembly) acquires 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.
If front wheel alignment or steering wheel position is adjusted without disconnecting the negative battery terminal, or if the yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point is not acquired after the adjustments have been completed, the Skid Control ECU (Brake Actuator Assembly) detects the difference between the previous zero point and newly acquired zero point and outputs this Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to indicate a poor adjustment.
The steering sensor zero point malfunction warning will be canceled by turning the ignition switch off.
