Main Steering Angle Sensor Check (Rear)

Turn ignition switch to ON position to check rear main steering angle sensor. Turn left rear wheel fully to left by hand, then slowly turn wheel fully to the right. The 4WS indicator light should illuminate when wheel is turned to the right. If indicator light does not illuminate, remove rear main steering angle sensor and inspect for damage. If faulty, replace sensor.
NOTE: The 4WS indicator light may appear to blink near the point at which light comes on. To determine the point at which the indicator light is not blinking, the indicator light must remain on for more than 2 seconds.
Turn ignition to OFF position. Remove lock pin from rear steering actuator. Remove jumper wire from 2-pin service connector. Return service connector behind center console. Install any parts removed.

⁽¹⁾	Ensure parking brake indicator light operates properly before testing steering angle sensors.

⁽²⁾	Pull up parking brake to set front sensors in inspection mode. The 4WS indicator light might appear to be blinking at a point near each end of the turning range.

⁽³⁾	The 4WS indicator light should blink at 0.2 second intervals. When light is indicating front main sensor position, the secondary steering angle sensor indicating condition is canceled.

⁽⁴⁾	Release parking brake to set rear sensors in inspection mode. Turn rear wheels slowly BY HAND with lock pin set in the rear actuator. Indicator light should blink at 0.2 second intervals.
