Inspection Procedure
NOTE:
If the steering column or power steering ECU has been replaced, perform the rotation angle sensor initialization and torque sensor zero point calibration (See CALIBRATION
).
- CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION
- Check the installation condition of the motor rotation angle sensor connector.
OK:
Motor rotation angle sensor connector is securely connected to the power steering ECU.
NG : CONNECT CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- Check the installation condition of the motor rotation angle sensor connector.
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (MOTOR ROTATION ANGLE SENSOR)
- Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List /
- Select the item "Motor Rotation Angle" in the Data List and read the value displayed on the Techstream.
