Diagnosis Procedure

TILT SENSOR


Description

- The tilt sensor is installed to the steering column assembly.
- The resistance of tilt sensor is changed according to the up/down position of steering column.
- The terminal voltage of automatic drive positioner control unit will be changed according to a change of tilt sensor resistance. Automatic drive positioner control unit calculates the tilt position from the voltage.




TILT SENSOR


Diagnosis Procedure

1.CHECK TILT SENSOR SIGNAL
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Check voltage automatic drive positioner control unit harness connector and ground.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES - Replace automatic drive positioner control unit. Refer to Automatic Drive Positioner Control Unit.
NO - GO TO 2.
2.CHECK TILT SENSOR CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect automatic drive positioner control unit and tilt and telescopic sensor connector.
3. Check continuity between automatic drive positioner control unit harness connector and tilt and telescopic sensor harness connector.





4. Check continuity between automatic drive positioner control unit harness connector and ground.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 3.
NO - Repair or replace harness or connector.
3.CHECK TILT SENSOR POWER SUPPLY
1. Connect automatic drive positioner control unit connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between tilt and telescopic sensor harness connector and ground.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 5.
NO - GO TO 4.
4.CHECK TILT SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect automatic drive positioner control unit connector.
3. Check continuity between automatic drive positioner control unit harness connector and tilt and telescopic sensor harness connector.





4. Check continuity between automatic drive positioner control unit harness connector and ground.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES - Replace automatic drive positioner control unit. Refer to Automatic Drive Positioner Control Unit.
NO - Repair or replace harness or connector.
5.CHECK TILT SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect automatic drive positioner control unit connector.
3. Check continuity between automatic drive positioner control unit harness connector and tilt and telescopic sensor harness connector.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES - Replace tilt and telescopic sensor.
NO - Repair or replace harness or connector.
