OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> If the open or short in harness, repair or replace the har-
ness.
4. CHECK DATA MONITOR
1. Connect steering angle sensor and VDC/TCS/ABS control unit connectors.
2. Conduct “DATA MONITOR” of the “STR ANGLE SIG” to check if the status is normal.
OK or NG
OK >> Re-conduct VDC/TCS/ABS control unit self-diagnosis.
NG >> Replace spiral cable (steering angle sensor) and adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor.
Refer to BRC-79, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
