Signal Circuit Inspection
- Steering angle sensor #1 Signal Inspection
- IG KEY ON, ENG ON
- 4WD ECM, Steering angle sensor connector: Connect.
- Monitor signal waveform between terminal 5 of Steering angle sensor harness connector M14 and chassis ground.
- Rotate the steering wheel both ways.
Specification: refer to 'WAVEFORM INSPECTION '
Is Steering angle sensor #1 Signal display near the specified value?
YES : --> This may be caused by intermittent fault. Verify data changeability by shaking the harness.
NO : --> Inspect power and power supply line of Steering angle sensor #1 circuit.
- Inspect ground and ground line of Steering angle sensor #1 circuit.
- Inspect ground to short of Steering angle sensor #1 circuit.
- Inspect open or short of Steering angle sensor #1 circuit.
- Check for Steering angle sensor module and replace it as necessary.
- Check for 4WD ECM and replace it as necessary.
- Steering angle sensor #1 short to ground Inspection
- IG KEY OFF, ENG OFF
- 4WD ECM connector and Steering angle sensor connector: Disconnect.
- Measure resistance between terminal 5 of Steering angle sensor harness connector M14 and chassis ground.
Specification: Approx. ∞Ω
Is resistance display near the specified value?
YES : --> Proceed to next inspection procedure.
NO : --> Repair ground to short circuit of Steering angle sensor #1 circuit.
--> If problem is solved, go to the "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR "
- Steering angle sensor #1 open Inspection
- IG KEY OFF, ENG OFF
- 4WD ECM connector and Steering angle sensor connector: Disconnect.
- Measure resistance between terminal 5 of Steering angle sensor harness connector M14 and terminal 23 of 4WD ECM harness connector.
Is resistance display near the specified value?
YES : --> Replace with normal Steering angle sensor module temporarily and check if vehicle runs normally. If trouble disappears, replace Steering angle sensor control module.
- Replace with normal 4WD ECM temporarily and check if vehicle runs normally. If trouble disappears, replace 4WD ECM.
- If problem is solved, go to the "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR ".
NO : --> Repair open circuit of Steering angle sensor #1 circuit.
--> If problem is solved, go to the "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR ".
