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.

sensor harness connector, and check terminal for deformation, disconnection, looseness, etc.
2. Reconnect harness connector securely, and perform CONSULT-II self-diagnosis.
Is above displayed on self-diagnosis display?
YES >>
If “CAN COMM [U1000]” is displayed, print out self–diagnosis. And then, GO TO LAN-50, "CAN
System Specification Chart" .

Replace RAS control unit if “CONTROL UNIT [CAN] [U1010]” is displayed.
NO >> Connector terminal connection is loose, damaged, open, or shorted. Repair or replace the termi-
nal.
