Adjustment Of Neutral Position Of Steering Angle Sensor

After replacing the VDC/TCS/ABS control unit, steering angle sensor, steering components, suspension components, or after adjusting the wheel alignment, make sure to adjust the neutral position of the steering angle sensor before running the vehicle.

CAUTION: To adjust the neutral position of the steering angle sensor, make sure to use CONSULT-II. (Adjustment cannot be done other than CONSULT-II.)

Stop the vehicle with the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector on the vehicle, and turn the ignition switch to ON position (engine not running).
