Initialization

INITIALIZATION





1. STEERING ANGLE SENSOR INITIALIZATION
a. Turn the ignition switch ON and check that the VGRS and VSC/TRAC warning lights illuminate for a few seconds.

NOTICE: If the warning lights remain on or blink, repair the applicable system.

b. Drive the vehicle on a straight road at 35 km/h (22 mph) or more for 5 seconds or more. At this point, the steering wheel will still remain off-center by 5 to 10°.

HINT: In this step, the neutral position of the steering wheel is restored from the VGRS ECU memory.

c. After performing normal cornering 2 to 3 times, the steering wheel position is automatically corrected.

NOTICE: If the steering wheel remains off-center after the above procedure, repair the applicable system.

d. Confirm that the steering angle sensor initialization is completed. WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER: Use this procedure to center the steering wheel when the STRAIGHT ANG FLG from the VGRS DATA LIST reads VALID. WHEN NOT USING INTELLIGENT TESTER:
1. Drive the vehicle on a road at 60 km/h (37 mph) or more for 30 seconds or more.

HINT: At this time, if steering angle initialization is not completed, VGRS system is stopped.

2. Stop the vehicle. (Engine running)
3. Slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock.

HINT: 2 seconds or more for 1 turn.

4. If it rotates approximately 2.4 turns, the steering angle sensor initialization is completed. If it rotates approximately 3.5 turns, the steering angle sensor initialization is not completed.
