Scheme 202: INSPECTION PROCEDURE 6: The Neutral Position Learning of the Steering Angular Velocity Sensor is not

The ABS system detects the neutral position learning of the steering angular velocity sensor by the signal from the stoplight.

The diagnosis is difficult because it depends on driving condition and road surface, if the diagnostic trouble code has not been set, carry out the following checks (refer to TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS ).

The most likely causes for this case are

  1. Damaged wiring harness or connector
  2. Malfunction of the stoplight switch system
  3. Tires are not all the same diameter
  4. Malfunction of suspension
  5. Malfunction of the steering angular velocity sensor installation
  6. Malfunction of the brake modulator hydraulic unit (integrated with ABS-ECU)
