    Is the above displayed in the self-diagnosis display items? 

    1. Yes: GO TO  3.
    2. No: GO TO 2.
  2. DATA MONITOR CHECK 

    Conduct "Data Monitor" of the "STEERING ANGLE SIGNAL" to check if the status is normal.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: INSPECTION END  .
    2. NG: GO TO 3.
  3. CONNECTOR INSPECTION 
    1. Disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E125 and steering angle sensor M47.
    2. Check the terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness or damage.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 4.
    2. NG: Repair or replace as necessary.
  4. CHECKING STEERING ANGLE SENSOR POWER AND GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    2. Check voltage between steering angle sensor connector M47 and ground.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: Check the CAN communication system. Refer to "CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM INSPECTION ". If the CAN communication system is OK, replace spiral cable (steering angle sensor) and adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to "ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NEUTRAL POSITION ".
    2. NG: Repair the circuit.
