Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral PositionEFS0019R
In case of doing work that applies to the list below, make sure to adjust neutral position of steering angle sen-
sor before running vehicle.
×: Required
–: Not required
CAUTION:
To adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor, make sure to use CONSULT-II.
(Adjustment cannot be done without CONSULT-II.)
1. Stop vehicle with front wheels in straight-ahead position.
2. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to data link connector on vehicle, and turn ignition
switch ON (do not start engine).
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
3. Touch “ABS”, “WORK SUPPORT” and “ST ANGLE SENSOR ADJUSTMENT” on CONSULT-II screen in
this order. Refer to BRC-79, "
CONSULT-II BASIC OPERATION PROCEDURE" .
4. Touch “START”.

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS

Before performing diagnosis, always read precautions. Refer to BRC-60, "How to Proceed With Diagno-
sis" .

If ESP/TCS/ABS control unit steering angle sensor, steering system parts or suspension system parts
have been replaced, or if alignment has been adjusted, be sure to adjust neutral position of steering angle
sensor before driving. Refer to BRC-52, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

After diagnosis is finished, be sure to erase memory. Refer to BRC-81, "SELF-DIAGNOSIS" .

When checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check for disconnection, looseness,
bend, or collapse of connector terminals. If any malfunction is found, repair or replace connector termi-
nals.

For intermittent symptoms, possible cause is malfunction in harness, harness connector, or terminals.
Move harness, harness connector, and terminals to check for poor connections.

If a circuit tester is used for the check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.

To use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis of ESP/TCS/ABS control unit active tests, or work support,
first stop work, then connect CONSULT-II and select “ABS”.

While self-diagnostic results of CONSULT-II shows malfunction, if CONSULT-II active test is performed,
an engine system malfunction may be indicated. In this case, start engine to resume the normal screen.

ESP/TCS/ABS system electronically controls brake operation and engine output. The following symptoms
may be caused by normal operations:
ON and OFF Timing for ABS Warning Lamp, ESP OFF Indicator Lamp, SLIP Indicator Lamp,
Brake Warning Lamp
×: ON –: OFF Symptom Symptom description Result
Motor operation noiseThis is noise of motor inside ESP/TCS/ABS control unit. Slight noise
may occur during ESP, TCS, and ABS operation.
Normal
When the vehicle speed goes over 20 km/h (12.5 MPH), motor and
valves operating noise may be heard. It happens only once after ignition
switch is ON. This is a normal status of the system operation check.
System operation check
noiseWhen engine starts, slight “click” noise may be heard from engine room.
This is normal and is part of system operation check.Normal
ESP/TCS operation
(SLIP indicator lamp blink-
ing)TCS may activate momentarily if wheel speed changes when driving
over location where friction coefficient varies, when downshifting, or
when fully depressing accelerator pedal.Normal
Cancel the ESP/TCS
function for the
inspection on a chas-
sis dynamometer. When checking speed meter etc. with a 2-wheel-drive chassis dyna-
mometer, vehicle speed is not increased by pressing down on the accel-
erator.
ABS operation (Longer stop-
ping distance)On roads with low friction coefficients, such as snowy roads or gravel
roads, vehicles with ABS may require a longer stopping distance. There-
fore, when driving on such roads, avoid overconfidence and keep speed
sufficiently low.Normal
Insufficient feeling of accel-
erationDepending on road conditions, driver may feel that feeling of accelera-
tion is insufficient. This is because traction control, which controls
engine and brakes to achieve optimal traction, has the highest priority
(for safety). As a result, there may be times when acceleration is slightly
less than usual for the same accelerator pedal operation.Normal
