DTC

C1568/68

Lock Holder Deviation Detection

DESCRIPTION

The VGRS actuator contains a lock mechanism that mechanically locks the DC motor so that the motor will not rotate if a failure occurs or when the engine is not running. The VGRS ECU supplies current to the lock solenoid to release the lock lever for VGRS operation.

When the VGRS ECU detects a malfunction in the lock holder, it turns the warning light on and records the DTC.

DTC No.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

Determine the trouble area by checking the motor revolution angle sensor signal with the intelligent tester.

When not using the intelligent tester, go to *1.

PROCEDURE

1.

OBSERVE DATA FOR MTR REV ANG U, V, W ON INTELLIGENT TESTER

(a) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.

NOTICE:

Do not start the engine.

(c) Turn the steering wheel to the right and left.

(d) Using the intelligent tester, display the DATA LIST.

(e) Check the motor revolution angle sensor signal when slowly turning the steering wheel referring to the DATA LIST.
