Power Generation Voltage Variable Control System Operation InspectionNKS003NQ
CAUTION:

For this model, the battery current sensor that is installed to the battery cable at the negative ter-
minal measures the charging/discharging current of the battery, and performs various controls. If
the electrical component or the ground wire is connected directly to the battery terminal, the cur-
rent other than that being measured with the battery current sensor is charging to or discharging
from the battery. This condition causes the malfunction of the control, and then the battery dis-
charge may occur. Never connect the electrical component or the ground wire directly to the bat-
tery terminal.

When performing this inspection, always use the charged battery that completed the battery
inspection. (When the charging rate of the battery is low, the response speed of the voltage
change will become slow. This is a cause of an incorrect inspection.)
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. CHECK ECM (CONSULT-II)
Perform ECM self-diagnosis with CONSULT-II. Refer to the following.

VQ35DE: EC-123, "CONSULT-II Function (ENGINE)"

VK45DE: EC-826, "CONSULT-II Function (ENGINE)"

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
4. CHECK REAR WHEEL STEERING ANGLE SENSOR OUTPUT SIGNAL
1. Connect rear wheel steering angle sensor harness connector B465.
2. Check voltage RAS control unit harness connector B476 when
starting the engine and turning the steering wheel from neutral
position clockwise/counterclockwise by 180°.
CAUTION:
There is approximately 1 V or more difference between main output and sub output at straight-ahead position, inspection
results are “NG”.
OK or NG
OK >> RAS control unit malfunction. Replace RAS control unit.
NG >> GO TO 5.
5. CHECK REAR WHEEL STEERING ANGLE SENSOR OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect rear wheel steering angle sensor harness connector B465 and RAS
control unit harness connector B476.
2. Check continuity between each harness connector of rear wheel
steering angle sensor harness connector B465 (A) and RAS
control unit harness connector B476 (B).
OK or NG
OK >> Rear wheel steering angle sensor malfunction. Replace
rear wheel steering angle sensor.
NG >> Harness between rear wheel steering angle sensor and
RAS control unit open or shorted. Repair or replace harness.
