Inspection 5: Steering Angle Signal MalfunctionNGS000EU
1. CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect RAS control unit harness connector and steering angle sensor har-
ness connector, and check terminal for deformation, disconnection, looseness, etc.
2. Reconnect harness connector securely, and perform self-diagnosis.
With CONSULT-II
Without CONSULT-II
Is above displayed on self-diagnosis display?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Connector terminal connection is loose, damaged, open, or shorted. Repair or replace the termi-
nal.
2. ADJUST NEUTRAL POSITION OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
Adjust the steering angle sensor neutral position, and then perform self-diagnosis again. Refer to BRC-6,
"Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
Is the result of self-diagnosis normal?
OK >> Inappropriate neutral position adjustment of steering angle sensor.
NG >> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF, and disconnect steering angle sensor harness connector M47.
2. Check continuity steering angle sensor harness connector M47
and ground.
3. Turn ignition switch ON, and then check voltage steering angle
sensor harness connector M47 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Steering angle sensor power supply and ground circuit
open or shorted. Repair or replace the applicable mal-
functioning circuit.

1. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
Perform RAS self-diagnosis.

With CONSULT-II: STC-28, "SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE"

Without CONSULT-II: STC-31, "Diagnosis Procedure with Self-Diagnosis Function (Without CONSULT-
II)"
Are malfunctioning items displayed in self-diagnosis results?
YES >> Repair or replace any malfunctioning items.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK RAS STATIC/DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS
Check RAS static/dynamic characteristics. Refer to STC-49, "
Check RAS Static/Dynamic Characteristics" .
Is the malfunction corrected?
YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Perform the following check, and then check the symptom again.

Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjustment of Steering Angle
Sensor Neutral Position" .

Steering angle sensor mounting condition. Refer to BRC-60, "Removal and Installation" .
Diagnosis Chart by Symptom 2NGS000F2
The steering force does not change smoothly according to the vehicle speed (Heavy steering force with the
vehicle stopped/Light handle operation during high-speed driving)
1. CHECK (1): POWER STEERING SOLENOID VALVE SIGNAL
1. Start engine.
2. Change the vehicle speed from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 MPH)
slowly, and then check voltage RAS control unit harness con-
nector B476.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 7.
2. CHECK (2): POWER STEERING SOLENOID VALVE SIGNAL
1. Activate fail-safe function by running engine speed at 1,500 rpm or higher for 10 seconds with the vehicle
stopped.
2. Change the engine speed to the idling speed, approx. 1,600
rpm, and approximately 3,000 rpm slowly, and then check volt-
age RAS control unit harness connector B476.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> GO TO 7.Terminal 36 – 34 : The voltage has changed from
approximately 4.4 - 6.6 V to approxi-
mately 2.4 - 3.6 V.
