STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

NOTICE: Make sure to perform steering angle sensor zero point calibration when:
- Replacing the steering angle sensor or ECU.
- Adjusting the front wheel alignment of the steering wheel center point in accordance with removal and installation or replacement of the suspension, axle or steering parts.





a. Using the SST, connect terminals Ts and E1 of DLC1 or Ts and CG of DLC3
SST DLC1:09843-18020; DLC3: 09843-18040
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, without starting the engine.
c. Make sure the steering wheel off center angle is within 3 degrees of center before attempting calibration.

HINT: If the off center angle is greater than 3 degrees from center, further adjustments to the tie rods may be necessary.

d. Shift the gear selector switch to the P range.
e. Press the VSC OFF switch and hold it while depressing the brake pedal 3 times within 2 seconds.
f. Continue to hold the VSC OFF switch until the VSC buzzer (repeated beeping) sounds.
g. Release the VSC OFF switch. The VSC buzzer will continue to sound for 3 seconds confirming the operation is complete.

HINT: If the procedure is done correctly and VSC buzzer does not sound, there may be a malfunction of the steering angle sensor.
