WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Toyota Avalon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
NOTE: When replacing the steering angle sensor or ECU, or when adjusting the front wheel alignment or steering wheel center point in accordance with the removing and installing or replacing the suspension, axle or steering parts, make sure to perform steering angle sensor zero point calibration.
- Using SST (SST 09843-18020), connect terminals Ts and E1 of DLC1.
