Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
REAR LOWER LINK & COIL SPRINGPFP:551B0
Removal and InstallationNES000JF
REMOVAL
1. Remove tire with a power tool.
2. Set a jack under rear lower link to relieve the coil spring tension.
3. Loosen mounting bolt and nut of rear lower link inside of suspension member, and then remove mounting
bolt and nut inside of axle with a power tool.
4. Slowly lower jack, then remove upper seat, coil spring and rubber sheet from rear lower link.
5. Remove mounting bolt and nut inside of suspension member to remove rear lower link with a power tool.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check rear lower link, bushing and coil spring for deformation, cracks, and damage. Replace rear lower link
and coil spring if there are.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque. Refer to RSU-7, "Components" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse non-reusable parts.
Make sure that upper seat is attached as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the projecting parts (3) on upper seat inside
is securely fitted on the bracket tabs(3).
Match up rubber seat indentions and rear lower link grooves and
attach.
CAUTION:
Make sure spring is not up side down. The top and bottom
are indicated by paint color.
Perform the final tightening of rear suspension member and axle
installation position (rubber bushing) under unladen condition
with tires on level ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to
RSU-5, "
Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking
the wheel alignment. Refer to BRC-6, "
Adjustment of Steering
Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
System DescriptionNIS0025R
The system automatically moves the driver seat, steering and door mirror position by the driver seat con-
trol unit and the automatic drive positioner control unit. The driver seat control unit corresponds with the
automatic drive positioner control unit via UART communication. The driver seat control unit can store the
optimum driving positions (driver seat, steering and door mirror position) for 2 people. If the driver
changes, one-touch operation allows changing to the other driving position.
The driver seat, steering and door mirror position are adjusted automatically to the proper positions for the
driver in different ways: MEMORY OPERATION, EXITING OPERATION, ENTRY OPERATION and
INTELLIGENT KEY INTERLOCK OPERATION.
MANUAL OPERATION
The driving position (seat, steering and door mirror position) can be adjusted with the power seat switch, ADP
steering switch and door mirror control switch.
NOTE:
The door mirrors can be manually operated with the ignition switch in either ACC or ON.
MEMORY OPERATION
The driver seat control unit can store the optimum driving positions (seat, steering and door mirror position) for
2 people. If the front seat position is changed, one-touch (pressing desired memory switch for more than 0.5
second) operation allows changing to the other driving position.
Operation procedure
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Press desired memory switch for 0.5 second. (Indicator LED illuminates.)
3. Driver seat, steering and door mirror will move to the memorized position.
(Indicator LED blinks during adjustment, then illuminates for 5 seconds.)
Operation Condition
If the following conditions are not satisfied, memory switch operation is not performed.
Ignition switch is in ON position.
Driver side power seat switch, ADP steering switch and door mirror control switch are not operated.
Seat memory switch and set switch are not operated.
Output malfunction is not detected.
CAN and UART communications are normal.
A/T selector lever position is in P position.
Detention switch malfunction is not detected.
[Detention switch malfunction is sensed when detention switch remains OFF, vehicle speed is higher than
7 km/H. (4 MPH).]
Input voltage from tilt sensor and telescopic sensor are normal.
NOTE:
The memory operation operates following order.
Function Description
Manual operationThe driving position (seat, steering and door mirror position) can be adjusted with
the power seat switch ADP steering switch or door mirror control switch.
Auto-
matic
operationMemory operation The seat, steering and door mirror move to the stored driving position by pushing
seat memory switch (1 or 2).
Entry/
Exiting
functionExiting operation At exit, the seat moves backward and the steering wheel moves upward.
Entry operationAt entry, the seat and steering wheel returns from exiting position to the previous
driving position before the exiting operation.
Intelligent Key interlock operationPerform memory operation, exiting operation and entry operation by pressing Intel-
ligent Key unlock button.

REAR ACTIVE STEER
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Disassembly and AssemblyNGS000E6
COMPONENTS
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove mounting bolts of RAS motor assembly, and then remove RAS motor assembly, ground terminal,
O-ring from RAS actuator.
2. Remove mounting bolt of rear wheel steering angle sensor, and then remove rear wheel steering angle
sensor, O-ring from RAS actuator.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Check RAS actuator bracket (rear wheel steering angle sensor mounting area) for crush, deformation, cracks,
or other damage. Replace the RAS actuator malfunction is detected.
ASSEMBLY
Assembly is the reverse order of disassembly. For tightening torque, refer to STC-14, "COMPONENTS" .
After assembling RAS actuator assembly (after removing and installing rear wheel angle sensor and RAS
motor), perform the neutral position adjustment.
Neutral Position AdjustmentNGS000E7
Adjust neutral position after performing the following procedure.
Removing and installing or replacing the RAS actuator assembly
Disassembling the RAS actuator assembly (when removing rear wheel steering angle sensor and RAS
motor)
CAUTION:
Perform the neutral position adjustment after installing the RAS actuator assembly to the vehicle.
Before that, remove the rear lower link from the RAS actuator.
1. Disconnect harness connector and remove rear wheel steering angle sensor from the RAS actuator
assembly.
2. Disconnect RAS motor harness connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
1. Ground terminal 2. RAS motor assembly 3. O-ring
4. RAS actuator 5. Rear wheel steering angle sensor

3. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF, and disconnect steering angle sensor harness connector M47.
2. Check continuity steering angle sensor harness connector M47
and ground.
3. Turn ignition switch ON, and then check voltage steering angle
sensor harness connector M47 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Steering angle sensor power supply and ground circuit
open or shorted. Repair or replace the applicable mal-
functioning circuit.
4. DATA MONITOR
1. Connect steering angle sensor harness connector.
2. Select ”DATA MONITOR“ on “STEERING ANG” mode, and then check the steering angle.
OK or NG
OK >> RAS control unit malfunction. Replace RAS control unit.
NG >> Replace steering angle sensor and adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-
