PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS
If steering angle sensor, steering system parts, suspension system parts, ABS actuator and electric unit (con-
trol unit) or tires have been replaced, or if wheel a
lignment has been adjusted, be sure to adjust neutral posi-
tion of steering angle sensor before driving. Refer to BRC-8, "

quirement
INFOID:0000000003772479
1.PERFORM THE NEUTRAL POSITION ADJUST MENT FOR THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
Perform the neutral position adjustm ent for the steering angle sensor.
>> Refer to BRC-8, "
ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NEUTRAL POSITION : Spe-
cial Repair Requirement", GO TO 2
2.PERFORM CALIBRATION OF THE DECEL G SENSOR
Perform calibration of the decel G sensor.
>> Refer to BRC-9, "
CALIBRATION OF DECEL G SENSOR : Special Repair Requirement".

2.PERFORM THE NEUTRAL POSITION ADJUST MENT FOR THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
1. On the CONSULT-III screen, touch “WORK SUPP ORT” and “ST ANG SEN ADJUSTMENT” in order.
2. Touch “START”. CAUTION:
Do not touch steering wheel whil e adjusting steering angle sensor.
3. After approximately 10 seconds, touch “END”. NOTE:
After approximately 60 seconds, it ends automatically.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF, then turn it ON again. CAUTION:
Be sure to perform above operation.
>> GO TO 3
3.CHECK DATA MONITOR
1. Run vehicle with front wheels in straight-ahead position, then stop.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR”. Then make sure “STR ANGLE SIG” is within 0 ±2.5 °.
Is the steering angle within the specified range?
YES >> GO TO 4
NO >> Perform the neutral position adjustment fo r the steering angle sensor again, GO TO 1
4.ERASE THE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MEMORY
Erase the self-diagnosis memory of the ABS ac tuator and electric unit (control unit) and ECM.
• ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit): Refer to BRC-24, "
CONSULT-III Function (ABS)".
• ECM: Refer to EC-63, "
CONSULT-III Function (ENGINE)".
Are the memories erased?
YES >> Inspection End
NO >> Check the items indica ted by the self-diagnosis.

System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003772485
• Vehicle Dynamics Control system detects driver ′s steering operation amount and brake pedal travel from
steering angle sensor and pressure sensors. Using information from yaw rate/side/decel G sensor and
wheel sensor, VDC judges driving condition (conditions of under steer and over steer) to improve vehicle
driving stability by controlling brake application to 4 wheels and engine output.
• During VDC operation, it inform s driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
• Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
