SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
Fail-Safe FunctionNGS000DW
When the fail-safe function operate, it controls power steering sole-
noid valve by the engine speed as shown in the figure and maintains
the steering force.
FAIL-SAFE INPUT/CANCEL CONDITIONS
CAUTION:
Fail-safe function is activated when the engine runs at 1,500 rpm or higher for 10 seconds with the vehicle stopped. This is
normal and the fail-safe function is automatically deactivated when a vehicle speed signal of 2 km/h (1.2 MPH) or higher is
input or the ignition switch is turned OFF.
SGIA0411E
Input conditions Cancel conditions
When vehicle runs at an engine speed of 1,500 rpm or higher and no vehicle speed signal
is received for 10 seconds.

A vehicle speed of 2 km/h (1.2 MPH) or
more is input.

Turn the ignition switch ON after turn-
ing it OFF. The continuous vehicle speed signal 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more suddenly drops to less
than 2 km/h (1.2 MPH) within 1.4 seconds.

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).
