Component Inspection

Steering Angel Sensor Check
1. Ignition "ON"& Engine "ON".
2. Turn the steering wheel to the left or right.
3. Measure waveform between signal terminal of the steering angle sensor harness connector and chassis ground with oscilloscope.
  Specification : Check if the voltage of signal waveform is normal.
  
  (HIGH : 2.9±0.1V ~ 4.4±0.1V, LOW : 1.2±0.1V ~ 2.1±0.1V)
  
  Check if normal signal waveform comes up while turning the steering wheel.

4. Is the measured waveform normal?
  YES
  - Fault is intermittent, caused by poor connection in steering sensor harness and/or HECU's connector. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
  NO
  - Check for improper installation of steering angle sensor.
    Repair as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
    
    If sensor mounting state is normal, substitute with a known-good steering angle sensor and check for proper operation.
    
    If problem is corrected, replace steering angle sensor and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
