INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
(a) Check that a steering angle sensor with the specified part number is installed.
Standard:
A steering angle sensor with the specified part number (89245-30070) is installed.
NG -- REPLACE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK WIRE HARNESS





(a) Turn the engine switch off.
(b) Disconnect the connectors from the steering control ECU and the steering angle sensor.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Resistance:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE WIRE HARNESS
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR





(a) Connect the connector to the steering angle sensor.
(b) Adjust the shift lever to neutral.
(c) Jack up the vehicle.
(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(e) Check the signal waveform according to the condition in the table below.
Voltage:





HINT:
The output voltage should fluctuate up and down similarly to the diagram on the left when the wheel is turned slowly.

NG -- REPLACE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
OK -- REPLACE STEERING CONTROL ECU
