STEERING ANGLE DETECTION FUNCTION

id094000103300

• The steering angle is calculated based on the signal from the steering angle sensor and sent to other units via CAN.

Steering Angle Sensor

• The steering angle sensor, located on the combination switch, detects the steering angle and the neutral position, and transmits them to the BCM.

Note

• The steering angle reference point stored in the BCM is cleared in the following cases. Perform the steering angle sensor initialization referring to the Workshop Manual.

― Negative battery cable disconnected

― Steering angle sensor connector disconnected

― Fuse (ROOM) removed

― Wiring harness between battery and BCM disconnected

Sleep Control

• When determination is made with all of the following conditions met and no occupants in the vehicle, the BCM initiates sleep control and controls power consumption.

― Ignition switch is in the LOCK position

― Fifteen hours have elapsed since the ignition switch was in the LOCK position

• If any one of the following operations is performed, the BCM returns to normal control.

― Ignition switch is turned to the ON position.

― The key is inserted in the steering lock.

― A door or the liftgate is opened

• During sleep control, the power supply voltage to the steering angle sensor becomes intermittent to control power consumption.

Note

• If sudden maneuvering is performed during slip control, the steering angle reference point stored in the BCM could be cleared. Perform the steering angle sensor initialization referring to the Workshop Manual.
