TROUBLESHOOTING
BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING CONDITIONS
Refer to Group 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting / Inspection Service Points.
NOTE
Before starting the troubleshooting procedure, make sure that the following items have been checked
okay.
The correct steering wheel has been properly installed in the neutral position of the steering column
shaft.
Tire and wheel sizes are correct with correct specifications. Inflation pressure, balance, and wear
conditions are okay.
Wheel alignment is correct.
The engine, suspension, and other parts have not been remodeled so as to affect the AYC system.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
READING THE DIAGNOSIS CODE
Read the diagnosis code using an MUT-II tester or the AYC warning lamp.
(Refer to Group 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting / Inspection Service Points.)
ERASING THE DIAGNOSIS CODE
Refer to Group 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting / Inspection Service Points.
