Diagnosis Procedure
- CHECK POWER STEERING SOLENOID VALVE SIGNAL
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Check the voltage between power steering control unit harness connector and ground.
VOLTAGE CHARTPower steering control unit - Condition Voltage (Approx.) Connector Terminal M108 1 Ground Vehicle speed: 0 km/h (0 MPH) (Engine is running) 4.4 - 6.6 V Vehicle speed: 100 km/h (62 MPH) 2.4 - 3.6 V Is the inspection result normal?
YES: GO TO 4.
NO: GO TO 2.
- CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN POWER STEERING SOLENOID VALVE AND POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect power steering solenoid valve harness connector.
- Disconnect power steering control unit harness connector.
- Check the continuity between power steering solenoid valve harness connector and the power steering control unit harness connector.CONTINUITY CHART
