CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

If the power steering ECU has been replaced with a new one, perform the rotation angle sensor initialization and torque sensor zero point calibration (See page ).

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(b) Check the indication condition of the P/S warning light by wiggling the power steering ECU connector and wire harness up and down, and right and left.

OK:

P/S warning light indication condition does not change.

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

2.	CHECK FOR DTC (CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM)

(a) Check for DTCs (See page ).

OK:

DTC is not output.

GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

3.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (IG POWER SUPPLY)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.

(f) Select the items "IG Power Supply" in the Data List and read the value displayed on the Techstream.
