Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Infiniti FX45 and 2005 Infiniti FX35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS 

    Check the self-diagnostic results.

    Self-diagnostic results

    ST ANG SEN CIRCUIT

    Is the above displayed in the self-diagnosis item? 

    1. YES: GO TO 2.
    2. NO: INSPECTION END
  2. CHECK CONNECTOR 
    1. Disconnect steering angle sensor connector and ABS actuator and electric unit (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 perform an ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) self-diagnosis again.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: Connector terminal contact is loose, damaged, open or shorted.
    2. NG: GO TO 3.
  3. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR HARNESS 
    1. Check CAN communication circuit. Refer to "INSPECTION 14: CAN COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT ".
    2. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect steering angle sensor connector.
    3. Check continuity between steering angle sensor harness connector M14 and ground.

      Steering angle sensor (Harness connector M14) Ground Voltage (V) (Approx.)
      3 (G/R)  -  12V 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 4.
    2. NG: If the open or short in harness, repair or replace harness.
  4. CHECK STEERING WHEEL PLAY 

    Check steering wheel play. Refer to "CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY ".

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 5
    2. NG: Adjust steering wheel play.
  5. PERFORM DATA MONITOR 
    1. Connect steering angle sensor and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connectors.
    2. Perform "DATA MONITOR " of the "STEERING ANGLE SIGNAL" to check if the status is normal.
      STEERING CONDITION - DATA MONITOR

      Steering condition Data monitor
      Straight-ahead -3.5 deg - +3.5 deg
      Turn wheel to the right by 90°. Approx. -90 deg
      Turn wheel to the left by 90°. Approx. +90 deg

    OK or NG 

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