Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Diagnosis Procedure
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
- CONNECTOR INSPECTION
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) and steering angle sensor connectors.
- Check connectors and terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness or damage.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES
GO TO STEP 2 .
NO
Repair or replace as necessary.
- CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR MOUNTING CONDITION
Check steering angle sensor mounting condition.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES
GO TO STEP 3 .
NO
Repair or replace malfunctioning components.
- CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect steering angle sensor connector.
- Turn ignition switch ON.
- Check voltage between steering angle sensor connector M56 terminal 4 and ground.
