AFS ECU Re-Initialization (When Using Hand Held Tester)

AFS ECU RE-INITIALIZATION (WHEN USING HAND-HELD TESTER)

NOTE: This operation manually initializes the steering sensor when AFS operation is not normal due to abnormal automatic correction after completion of AFS INITIALIZATION.

HINT:
- If it is necessary to initialize the steering sensor when not disconnecting the battery, it is also possible to re-set the signal from the steering sensor.
- When the centering point memorized in the steering sensor differs from the normal point, the AFS ECU malfunctions. In the case, re-initialize it.
- If the operation does not finishes within a specified time period, the system goes off the AFS indicator lamp and starts steering neutral point automatic correction.

a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and press the hand-held tester main switch ON.
c. Select "STEER SENS INIT" on "DIAGNOSTICS MENU AFS" display.
d. Turn the steering wheel with the engine starting until the tires face straight ahead, and press "ENTER".
e. Check "CONFIRM" display and press "YES".

NOTE: Do not turn the steering wheel while initializing and keep the tires facing straight ahead.

f. Check the display for completion of the operation.

HINT: If the operation above cannot be completed after several attempts, a malfunction in the steering sensor circuit is suspected.
