Neutral Position Adjustment
Adjust neutral position after performing the following procedure.
- Removing and installing or replacing the RAS actuator assembly
- Disassembling the RAS actuator assembly (when removing rear wheel steering angle sensor and RAS motor)
| CAUTION | Perform the neutral position adjustment after installing the RAS actuator assembly to the vehicle. Before that, remove the rear lower link from the RAS actuator. |
Scheme 3
- Disconnect harness connector and remove rear wheel steering angle sensor from the RAS actuator assembly.
- Disconnect RAS motor harness connector.
- Turn ignition switch ON.
- Supply 6 V voltage by connecting the four 1.5 V batteries in a series. Connect them to the RAS motor connector (motor side), and then operate the motor and adjust the rack in the neutral position (A). Full stroke (B): 6.8 - 7.2 mm (0.268 - 0.283 in) CAUTION: Do not supply 12 V voltage (battery, etc) to the RAS motor. NOTE: For right stroke, connect positive probe to the RAS motor connector terminal 1. For left stroke, connect it to the terminal 2.
- Install rear wheel steering angle sensor with O-ring to the RAS actuator assembly. Temporarily tighten the mounting bolts in the specified torque that the sensor can be moved by hand.
- Turn and adjust the rear wheel steering angle sensor so as to make each sensor signal of "DATA MONITOR" mode to the following standard with CONSULT-II. DATA LIST STEERING ANG (°) L - 0, R - 0, N - 0 RR ST ANG-MAI (V) Approx. 2.4 RR ST ANG-SUB (V) Approx. 2.4 RR ST ANG-VOL (V) Approx. 5.0 CAUTION: During DATA MONITOR mode, "MONITORING ERROR" is displayed. But there is not malfunction in this procedure.
- Tighten rear wheel steering angle sensor mounting bolts.
- Perform "ERASE" with CONSULT-II, and then erase the error memory of rear wheel steering angle sensor. Refer to " «HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS»(ref-239134-S20220698432006072700000) ".
- Perform CONSULT-II "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" again, and then make sure that there is no malfunction. Refer to " «SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE»(ref-239134-S31952903142006072700000) ".
