Inspection Procedure

Check self-diagnosis results.

Is the above displayed in the self-diagnosis item? 

1. YES: GO TO 2.
2. NO: INSPECTION END.

1. Disconnect steering angle sensor connector and VDC/TCS/ABS 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 re-perform a VDC/TCS/ABS control unit self-diagnosis.

OK or NG 

1. OK: Connector terminal contact is loose, damaged, open or shorted.
2. NG: GO TO 3.

1. Check CAN communication system. Refer to "INSPECTION 14: CAN COMMUNICATION LINES SYSTEM "
2. Disconnect VDC/TCS/ABS control unit connector and steering angle sensor connector.
3. Check continuity between VDC/TCS/ABS control unit harness connector E218 and steering angle sensor harness connector M52.

   VDC/TCS/ABS control unit (Harness connector E218)	Steering angle sensor (Harness connector M52)	Continuity
   2 (SB)	3 (SB)	Yes

OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 4.
2. NG: Open or short in harness. Repair or replace suspect harness.

Execute "DATA MONITOR" for "STEERING ANGLE SIGNAL". Check that results are normal.

OK or NG 

1. OK: Perform VDC/TCS/ABS control unit self-diagnosis again.
2. NG: Replace spiral cable (steering angle sensor) and adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to "ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NEUTRAL POSITION ".
