    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      HINT: 

      With the connector connected to the VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU), measure the voltage from the rear of the connector.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      N103-2 (LV) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
      N103-6 (LG) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
      TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

      *a Component with harness connected
      (VGRS ECU [Front Steering Control ECU])

    NG → See step   3 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (LOCK SOLENOID VOLTAGE) 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Start the engine.
    4. Turn the Techstream on.
    5. Enter the following menus: Chassis / VGRS / Data List.
      VGRS

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Lock Solenoid Voltage Lock solenoid voltage/
      Min.: 0.00 V
      Max.: 255.99 V
      0 to 14 V -

      OK

      0 to 14 V (while the engine is being started)

    NG → See step   6 

    OK → See step   7 

  3. INSPECT STEERING ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Disconnect the VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU) connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      HINT: 

      Measure the resistance of the steering actuator assembly at the connector of the VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU).

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N103-2 (LV) - N103-6 (LG) Always 10 to 30 Ω
      N103-2 (LV) - Body ground Always 100 kΩ or higher
      N103-6 (LG) - Body ground Always 100 kΩ or higher

      (to VGRS ECU [Front Steering Control ECU])

    NG → See step   4 

    OK → See step   6 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FRONT STEERING CONTROL ECU - STEERING ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Disconnect the N103 VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU) connector.
    3. Disconnect the N38 steering actuator assembly connector.
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N103-2 (LV) - N38-7 (LV+) Always Below 1 Ω
      N103-6 (LG) - N38-16 (LG+) Always Below 1 Ω
      N103-2 (LV) - Body ground Always 100 kΩ or higher
      N103-6 (LG) - Body ground Always 100 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   5 

  5. REPLACE STEERING ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [12/2011 - ] 
  6. REPLACE FRONT STEERING CONTROL ECU. Refer to  REMOVAL [12/2011 - ] 
  7. USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [12/2011 - ]
