(8) The center position can be determined from
the left/right measurements in (5) and (7) above.
Example:
Right rotation.... 10 mm (0.39 in)
Left rotation....8 mm (0.31 in)
Center = Right 1 mm (0.04 in)
(9) Check that the center is within specification.
Specification
= R 5 mm (0.4 in ) to L 5 mm (0.4 in)
(10) If not correct, adjust the steering angle trans-
fer shaft.
2. Steering Inspection
With the vehicle stopped and the engine running,
check that the rear wheels turn in the opposite
direction when the steering wheel is turned and that
there is no abnormal noise.

3.4WS Electric System Inspection
Drive the vehicle and check that the 4WS warning
light does not come on at over 40 km/h (25mph).

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.

Note
For vehicles equipped with ABS, the ABS
warning light may come on. This is not a fail-
ure. The light will go off when turning the ig-
nition switch OFF and back ON.

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

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.
(Refer to page 10—95.)

Condition B
1. Place the vehicle on a chassis roller tester. Block
the rear wheels, and secure it with chains.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Start the engine after the ignition switch has been
OFF for at least 10 seconds. Put the transmission
in gear and operate the vehicle at more than 40
km/h (25 mph).
4. Check if the 4WS warning light flashes or il-
luminates within 60 seconds.
5.
If
flashing or illumination occurs, inspect the circuit
by referring to the table below.
