GENERAL INFORMATION
FRONT SUSPENSION33-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M2330000100824
Newly developed MacPherson strut suspension has
been adopted.
•The steering gear box is installed in the lower
position for better cornering performance.
•The roll centre and the kingpin axle are installed
appropriately for better cornering performance.
•The long stroke strut is adopted for sufficient road
holding quality.
•High-rigid and light-weight flat crossmember is
adopted for sufficient suspension rigidity.
•The strut coil spring is installed appropriately for
friction reduction and comfortable ride.
•The coil spring of high tension material is adopted
for weight reduction.
•The open-section lower arm is adopted for weight
reduction.

ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING
POWER STEERING37-7
ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING
GENERAL INFORMATIONM2370000100862
Vehicle-speed sensitive electric power steering
(whole range type) has been adopted. This system
allows a light steering force during stationary steer
-
ing manoeuvre or low speed driving, and a moderate
steering force during medium or high speed driving.
For vehicles with this system, the electric power
steering-ECU controls the motor current according to
the vehicle speed and steering force of the steering
wheel.
CAN* communication has been adopted in order to
communicate with another ECUs for obtaining nec
-
essary information related to this control, achieving
wiring harness saving and secure data communica
-
tion.
NOTE: *: For more information about CAN (Control-
ler Area Network), refer to GROUP 54C, General
Information

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
M2541003000642
DIAGNOSIS CODE SET
For more information about diagnosis code output,
refer to the Workshop Manual.
SWS INPUT SIGNAL CHECK USING
M.U.T.-III
When the M.U.T.-III is connected to the diagnosis
connector and any of the SWS-linked switches is
operated, the PC buzzer sounds to evaluate whether
the switch is normal or not.
SWS INPUT SIGNAL CHECK AND ECU
CHECK BY USING SWS MONITOR
The switch signals sent by ECUs and the operations
of these ECUs can be confirmed by using the SWS
monitor and the M.U.T.-III.
