INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Fix the air bag module harness (shown as A in the figure) to
the harness fixing hook (shown as B in the figure).

Be careful not to damage the harness while installing.

Tighten the special bolts after exactly adjusting the centers of fixing holes on the air bag module
side and the steering wheel side. If the holes are misaligned, the bolt threads are damaged and the
module is not installed securely.

After the work is completed, make sure no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning
lamp.

In case that malfunction is detected by the air bag warning lamp, reset by the self-diagnosis func-
tion and delete the memory by CONSOULT–II.

In case that malunction is still detected after the above operation, peform self-diagnosis to repair
malfunctions. Refer to SRS-20, "
SRS Operation Check" .

CAUTION:

The spiral cable may snap by steering operation if the cable
is installed in an improper position.

The neutral position is set as follows.
Turn quietly the spiral cable clockwise to the end position.
Then turn it counterclockwise (about 2 and harf turns) and
stop turning at the point on which the stopper insertion
holes are in the same position.
The service part is installed in the neutral position by the
stopper and can be set without adjusting after the stopper
is removed.

Do not turn the spiral cable rashly and also beyond the limit
number of turns. (These will cause cable snap.)

Adjust the spiral cable locating pin (showed as A inthe fig-
ure) to the steering wheel locating pin hole (showed as C in
the figuer).

Secure the air bag harness with the harness fixing hook.

After the work is completed, make sure no system malfunc-
tion is detected by air bag warning lamp.

In case that malfunction is detected by the air bag warning
lamp, reset by the self-diagnosis function and delete the
memory by CONSULT−II.

In case that malfunction is still detected after the above
operation, perform self-diagnosis to repair malfunctions.

Part name Function
RAS control unit

Calculate the vehicle speed signal from CAN communication and the signals from steering
angle sensor and rear wheel steering angle sensor by a computer, and then control the rear
wheel steering angle.

Fail-safe function is activated when the electrical system is malfunctioning. The output signal
to the actuator is turned OFF during this mode. At that time, the RAS warning lamp illumi-
nates and indicates the system is malfunctioning.

It performs the communication control function with other control units via CAN communica-
tion.

This enables system diagnosis with CONSULT-II.
RAS actuatorThe efficiency of the rear wheel steer improves by locating the electric motor actuator into the
lower link of rear suspension.
Steering angle sensor

Measure the steering angle and send it to RAS control unit via CAN communication.

It is shared with the steering angle sensor for VDC.
Rear wheel steering angle sensor

It sends the rear wheel steering angle status to RAS control unit. The accuracy of rear wheel
steer improves by comparing the vehicle speed signal from CAN communication with the
rear wheel steering angle target value calculated from the wheel angle sensor signal, and it
controls them.

There are 2 types of rear wheel steering angle sensors (main/sub). If one of them is malfunc-
tioning, the other operates the fail-safe mode and stops the control.
RAS warning lamp

It turns on when the fail-safe function is operated and indicates that a RAS control malfunc-
tion has occurred.

It turns on when ignition switch turns on and turns off after the engine is started.

It indicates the suspect system by blinking when performing the self-diagnosis (without CON-
SULT-II).
