< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[WITH VDC]
SYSTEM
 Brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function operates
while VDC function is in non-operational status (OFF)
by VDC OFF switch.
 VDC warning lamp blinking while brake limited slip di fferential (BLSD) function is in operation and indicates
to the driver that the function is in operation.
 Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when brake limited slip differen-
tial (BLSD) function operates. This is not a malfunction because it is caused by brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function that is normally operated.
 Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function,
the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function, hi ll start assist function and brake limited slip differ-
ential (BLSD) function. The vehicle status becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS func-
tion, hill start assist function and brake limited slip di fferential (BLSD) function. However, ABS function and
EBD function are operated normally. Refer to BRC-25, "
Fail-safe".

Description
 In general, customers have their own criteria for a pr oblem. Therefore, it is important to understand the
symptom and status well enough by asking the customer about his/her concerns carefully. To systemize all
the information for the diagnosis, prepare the in terview sheet referring to the interview points.
 In some cases, multiple conditions that appear simultaneously may cause a DTC to be detected.

SENSOR NEUTRAL POSITION
ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NEUTRAL POSITION
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006222588
Always adjust the neutral position of steering angle sensor before driving when the following operation is per-
formed.
× : Required —: Not required
Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000006222589
ADJUST THE NEUTRAL POSITION OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
CAUTION:
Always use CONSULT-III when adju sting the neutral position of steering angle sensor. (It cannot be
adjusted other than with CONSULT-III.)
1.CHECK THE VEHICLE STATUS
Stop vehicle with front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
Does the vehicle stay in the straight-ahead position?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Steer the steering wheel to the st raight-ahead position. Stop the vehicle.
2.ADJUST NEUTRAL POSITION OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
With CONSULT-III.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
CAUTION:
Never start engine.
2. Select “ABS”, “WORK SUPPORT” and “ST AN GLE SENSOR ADJUSTMENT” in this order.
3. Select “START”. CAUTION:
Never touch steering wheel while adjusting steering angle sensor.
4. After approx. 10 seconds, select “END”.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF and then turn it ON again. CAUTION:
Be sure to perform the operation above.
>> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK DATA MONITOR
With CONSULT-III.
1. The vehicle is either pointing straight ahead or t he vehicle needs to be moved. Stop when it is pointing
straight ahead.

CAUTION:
Always use CONSULT-III for the d ecel G sensor calibration. (It cannot be adjusted other than with
CONSULT-III.)
NOTE:
Yaw rate/side/decel G sensor calibration is performed when performing the decel G sensor calibration.
1.CHECK THE VEHICLE STATUS
1. Steer the steering wheel to the straight- ahead position. Stop the vehicle on level surface.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Is the vehicle stopped in the straight-ahead position on level surface?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Steer the steering wheel to the straight- ahead position. Stop the vehicle on level surface.
2.PERFORM DECEL G SENSOR CALIBRATION
CAUTION:
 Never allow passenger or load on the vehicle.
 Never apply vibration to the vehicle body when opening or closing door during calibration.
With CONSULT-III.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
CAUTION:
Never start engine.
2. Select “ABS”, “WORK SUPPORT”, “DECEL G-SENSOR CALIBRATION” in this order.
3. Select “START”.
4. After approx. 10 seconds, select “END”.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF and then turn it ON again. CAUTION:
Be sure to perform the operation above.
