Work Procedure

When replacing steering force control module, steering angle main control module, or steering angle sub control module, configuration and DAST calibration are required.

WARNING: Never move the vehicle during "DAST CALIBRATION (MODE1)" because the steering gear is held in neutral position until ignition switch is turned OFF.
CAUTION:
  • Be careful for the moving parts, steering wheel and front wheels are steered automatically when start "DAST CALIBRATION (MODE1)".
  • Do not rotate road wheels during the DAST calibration because the system is detected the vehicle running.
  1. CHECK OFF-CENTER (1) 

    SYMBOL With CONSULT

    1. Set the vehicle to the straight-ahead position.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
      CAUTION: Never start the engine.
    3. On the CONSULT screen, select "EPS/DAST 3">>"DATA MONITOR">>"ST ANGLE SENSOR", and then and then check the value. Refer to Values On The Diagnosis Tool .

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 2.

    NO

    • Refer to Diagnosis Procedure . to correct off-center and then, GO TO 2.
      CAUTION: Proceeding to the next step with off-center bigger than 120 deg causes the spiral cable to be torn off.
  2. PREPARATION 
    1. Set the front wheel on the turn table.
      NOTE: Do not lift up the vehicle during "DAST CALIBRATION (MODE1)"
    2. Connect the 12 V battery charger to protect the 12 V battery.
      NOTE: Much electricity is used in "DAST CALIBRATION (MODE1)".
    3. Connect the CONSULT.
    4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
      CAUTION: Never start the engine.

    GO TO 3.

  3. ECU CONFIGURATION 

    SYMBOL With CONSULT

    1. Perform configuration for steering force control module. Refer to Work Procedure .
    2. Perform configuration for steering angle main control module. Refer to Work Procedure .
    3. Perform configuration for steering angle sub control module. Refer to Work Procedure .

    GO TO 4.

  4. DAST CALIBRATION (MODE1) [CLUTCH PHASE LEARNING] 

    SYMBOL With CONSULT

    1. Perform "DAST CALIBRATION (MODE1)". Refer to Work Procedure .
    2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
      CAUTION: Be sure to perform this step.

    GO TO 5.

  5. CHECK OFF-CENTER (2) 

    SYMBOL With CONSULT

    NOTE: This confirmation is procedure to confirm that the steering wheel is not rotated 360 deg when performing the DAST calibration.
    CAUTION: Proceeding to the next step with the steering wheel rotated 360 deg causes the spiral cable to be torn off.
    1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
      CAUTION: Never start the engine.
    2. On the CONSULT screen, select "EPS/DAST 3">>"DATA MONITOR">>"ST ANGLE SENSOR", and then and then check the value. Refer to Values On The Diagnosis Tool .

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 7.

    NO

    GO TO 6.

  6. CORRECT STEERING WHEEL NEUTRAL POSITION 

    SYMBOL With CONSULT

    1. Separate steering upper shaft from steering clutch assembly. And then, turn the steering wheel to the direction that the value returns to 0 deg with checking "ST ANGLE SENSOR" on "DATA MONITOR".
    2. Connect steering clutch assembly and steering upper shaft. Refer to STEERING SHAFT : Removal & Installation .

    Re-perform the work from configuration to reset the learning information of clutch phase learning. GO TO 3.

  7. DAST CALIBRATION (MODE1) [STEERING RACK NEUTRAL POSITION LEARNING] 

    SYMBOL With CONSULT

    Perform "DAST CALIBRATION (MODE1)". Refer to Work Procedure .

    GO TO 8.

  8. ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NEUTRAL POSITION 

    SYMBOL With CONSULT

    1. On the CONSULT screen, select "ABS">>"WORK SUPPORT">>"ST ANGLE SENSOR ADJUSTMENT".
    2. Touch START.
      CAUTION: Never touch steering wheel while adjusting steering angle sensor.
    3. After approximately 10 seconds, select "END".
    4. Turn ignition switch OFF, and then turn it ON again.
      CAUTION: Be sure to perform this step.

    GO TO 9.

  9. PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS 

    SYMBOL With CONSULT

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
    2. Start the engine.
      CAUTION: Never drive the vehicle.
    3. Perform self-diagnosis for "EPS/DAST 3", "DAST 1" and "DAST 2".

    Is any DTC detected?

    YES

    When other than above DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis for the detected DTC. Refer to DTC Index  (EPS/DAST 3), Refer to DTC Index  (DAST 1), Refer to DTC Index  (DAST 2).

    NO

    GO TO 10.

  10. FINAL CONFIRMATION 

    SYMBOL With CONSULT

    1. Turn the ignition switch OFF to ON.
      CAUTION: Never start the engine.
    2. On the CONSULT screen, select "EPS/DAST 3">>"DATA MONITOR">>"ANGLE 1", and then and then check the value. Refer to Values On The Diagnosis Tool .

    Is the confirmation result normal?

    YES

    WORK END

    NO

    Slightly lower the tilt position, and then re-perform "DAST CALIBRATION (MODE1)". GO TO 4.
