Power Steering Solenoid Valve
Inspection
1. Listen for actuation sound of the solenoid valve
when applying 12V between A and B terminals.
2. If no sound is heard, check the resistance of the
solenoid valve with an ohmmeter.
Terminals Resistance
A — B 3.4—6.9 Q
3.
If
there is no continuity, replace the solenoid valve.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Self-Diagnosis Function
The four-wheel steering (4WS) control unit contains a self-diagnosis function to detect malfunctions
within itself, the 4WS electrical components and circuits.
If a malfunction is detected, the control unit indicates where the problem is located and the 4WS warn-
ing light in the instrument cluster will flash for one minute with a specific pattern,
Troubleshoot the 4WS system according to the following flow chart.
Symptom of problem

TROUBLESHOOTING
Checking Condition
Condition A
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Start the engine after the ignition switch has been
OFF for at least 10 seconds, and check if the 4WS
warning light flashes or illuminates within 60
seconds.
3.
If
flashing or illumination occurs, inspect the circuit.
(Refer to page 10—95.)

Condition B
1. Place the vehicle on a chassis roller tester. Block
the rear wheels, and secure it with chains.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Start the engine after the ignition switch has been
OFF for at least 10 seconds. Put the transmission
in gear and operate the vehicle at more than 40
km/h (25 mph).
4. Check if the 4WS warning light flashes or il-
luminates within 60 seconds.
5.
If
flashing or illumination occurs, inspect the circuit
by referring to the table below.
