Steering Wheel Sensor

This sensor is mounted behind the column switch, and detects the steering wheel angle.
The steering wheel sensor has a self-diagnosis function and a memory function. If the diagnosis function finds a trouble, it sends a DTC code to the TCL/ASC-ECU. Then the ECU will illuminate the TCL/ASC indicator.
NOTE: For the details of the DTC codes, refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART .
