Is the symptom reproduced?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> INSPECTION END
Diagnostic Work SheetINFOID:0000000006222586
Description
 In general, customers have their own criteria for a pr oblem. Therefore, it is important to understand the
symptom and status well enough by asking the customer about his/her concerns carefully. To systemize all
the information for the diagnosis, prepare the in terview sheet referring to the interview points.
 In some cases, multiple conditions that appear simultaneously may cause a DTC to be detected.

adjusted other than with CONSULT-III.)
1.CHECK THE VEHICLE STATUS
Stop vehicle with front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
Does the vehicle stay in the straight-ahead position?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Steer the steering wheel to the st raight-ahead position. Stop the vehicle.
2.ADJUST NEUTRAL POSITION OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
With CONSULT-III.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
CAUTION:
Never start engine.
2. Select “ABS”, “WORK SUPPORT” and “ST AN GLE SENSOR ADJUSTMENT” in this order.
3. Select “START”. CAUTION:
Never touch steering wheel while adjusting steering angle sensor.
4. After approx. 10 seconds, select “END”.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF and then turn it ON again. CAUTION:
Be sure to perform the operation above.
>> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK DATA MONITOR
With CONSULT-III.
1. The vehicle is either pointing straight ahead or t he vehicle needs to be moved. Stop when it is pointing
straight ahead.
