Calibration [09/2020 - ]

NOTE:
  1. If parts between the steering wheel and tires have been removed/installed, replaced or adjusted, perform actuator angle neutral point calibration and initialization for the VGRS system, otherwise the steering wheel may become off-center.

    Example: 

    • The VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU) has been replaced or removed/installed.
    • The steering actuator assembly has been replaced or removed/installed.

    • The power steering link assembly has been replaced or removed/installed.
    • The steering wheel is still off-center after completing the steering sensor initialization.
