      A
      When the engine is started and a wire harness is jiggled, DTC C15A3/63 is output as a current DTC. B
      DTC C15A3/63 is not output as a current DTC C

    Result: 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [09/2014 - 10/2015]  , or refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [10/2015 - 11/2017]  , or refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [11/2017 - 10/2018]  , or refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [10/2018 - 11/2019]  , or refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [11/2019 - 09/2020] 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK FREEZE FRAME DATA (MOTOR RESOLVER SIN PHASE OFFSET, MOTOR RESOLVER COS PHASE OFFSET) 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    4. Turn the Techstream on.
    5. Display the DTCs on the Techstream screen.

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [09/2014 - 09/2020]

      Chassis > VGRS > Trouble Codes 

    6. Select DTC "C15A3/63", and check the freeze frame data for "Motor Resolver SIN Phase Offset" and "Motor Resolver COS Phase Offset".

      Refer to FREEZE FRAME DATA [09/2014 - ]

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      "Motor Resolver SIN Phase Offset" and "Motor Resolver COS Phase Offset" are 5 V or higher A
      "Motor Resolver SIN Phase Offset" and "Motor Resolver COS Phase Offset" are below 5 V B

    Result: 

    REPLACE VGRS ECU (FRONT STEERING CONTROL ECU). Refer to  REMOVAL [09/2014 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  3

  3. INSPECT STEERING ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Disconnect the O17 VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU) connector.

      (to VGRS ECU [Front Steering Control ECU])
    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
      O17-9 (RV) - O17-8 (RG) Always 20 to 60 Ω
      O17-3 (S1) - O17-8 (RG) Always 70 to 160 Ω
      O17-5 (S2) - O17-8 (RG) Always 60 to 150 Ω
      O17-9 (RV) - O17-3 (S1) Always 90 to 220 Ω
      O17-9 (RV) - O17-5 (S2) Always 80 to 210 Ω
      O17-3 (S1) - O17-5 (S2) Always 130 to 310 Ω
      O17-3 (S1) - Body ground Always 100 kΩ or higher
      O17-5 (S2) - Body ground Always 100 kΩ or higher
      O17-8 (RG) - Body ground Always 100 kΩ or higher
