Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS 

    Check the self-diagnostic results.

    SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS

    Self-diagnostic results
    ST ANG SEN CIRCUIT
    ST ANG SEN COM CIR

    Is the above displayed in the self-diagnosis item? 

    Yes: GO TO  2.

    No: INSPECTION END

  2. CHECK CONNECTOR 
    1. Disconnect steering angle sensor connector and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector and check terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness, and so on. If any malfunction is found, repair or replace terminal.
    2. Reconnect connectors and perform an ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) self-diagnosis again.

    OK or NG 

    OK: Connector terminal contact is loose, damaged, open or shorted.

    NG: GO TO  3.

  3. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR HARNESS 
    1. Check CAN communication circuit. Refer to "CAN COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT ".
    2. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect steering angle sensor connector M14.
    3. Check continuity between steering angle sensor harness connector and ground.

    VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

    Steering angle sensor Ground Voltage
    3 - Battery voltage (Approx. 12 V)

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  4.

    NG: If the open or short in harness, repair or replace harness.

  4. CHECK STEERING WHEEL PLAY 

    Check steering wheel play. Refer to "CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY ".

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  5

    NG: Adjust steering wheel play.

  5. PERFORM DATA MONITOR 
    1. Connect steering angle sensor and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connectors.
    2. Perform "DATA MONITOR " of the "STEERING ANGLE SIGNAL" to check if the status is normal.
    DATA MONITOR DISPLAY CHART

    Steering condition Data monitor display
    Straight-ahead -3.5 deg - +3.5 deg
    Turn wheel to the right by 90°. Approx. -90 deg
    Turn wheel to the left by 90°. Approx. +90 deg

    OK or NG 

    OK: Perform ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) self-diagnosis again.

    NG: Replace steering angle sensor and adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to "ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NEUTRAL POSITION ".
