Checking Condition
Condition A
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Start the engine and let it idle.
3. Turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead po-
sition, and check the output pattern.
Refer to page 10—89 for other patterns and indi-
cated failure points.
Condition B
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Start the engine and let it idle.
3. Turn the steering wheel 45° left and right from the
center, and check the output pattern.
Refer to page 10—89 for other patterns and indi-
cated failure points.
Condition C
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Place the vehicle on a chassis roller tester. Block
the rear wheels, and secure it with chains.
3. Start the engine. Put the transmission in gear and
operate the vehicle at more than 10 km/h (6.2
mph).
4.Check the output pattern.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Self-Diagnosis Function
The four-wheel steering (4WS) control unit contains a self-diagnosis function to detect malfunctions
within itself, the 4WS electrical components and circuits.
If a malfunction is detected, the control unit indicates where the problem is located and the 4WS warn-
ing light in the instrument cluster will flash for one minute with a specific pattern,
Troubleshoot the 4WS system according to the following flow chart.
Symptom of problem
76G10X-026
TROUBLESHOOTING
Checking Condition
Condition A
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Start the engine after the ignition switch has been
OFF for at least 10 seconds, and check if the 4WS
warning light flashes or illuminates within 60
seconds.
3.
If
flashing or illumination occurs, inspect the circuit.
