TROUBLESHOOTING
BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING CONDITIONS
Refer to Group 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting / Inspection Service Points.
NOTE
Before starting the troubleshooting procedure, make sure that the following items have been checked
okay.
The correct steering wheel has been properly installed in the neutral position of the steering column
shaft.
Tire and wheel sizes are correct with correct specifications. Inflation pressure, balance, and wear
conditions are okay.
Wheel alignment is correct.
The engine, suspension, and other parts have not been remodeled so as to affect the AYC system.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
READING THE DIAGNOSIS CODE
Read the diagnosis code using an MUT-II tester or the AYC warning lamp.
(Refer to Group 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting / Inspection Service Points.)
ERASING THE DIAGNOSIS CODE
Refer to Group 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting / Inspection Service Points.

ACTUATOR TEST REFERENCE TABLE
The following items can be tested by driving the corresponding actuator forcibly using the MUT-II.
Item No.Check itemChecking requirementsNormal value
10Air bleedingSupply current to proportioning
valve in accordance with steering
angle to operate directional valve.No air is to be bled from the
bleeder plug on the torque transfer
differential.
11Oil level checkLet the directional valve operate to
left and right 20 times.To be checked by oil level in
reservoir tank.
12Electric pump operationLet the electric pump operate for 5
seconds.Operation sounds of the electric
pump are to be heard.
13Clutch operation (left)Let the directional valve operate to
supply the maximum pressure to the
left clutch.The operation conditions are to be
checked by the speed difference
between left and right rear wheels
with the wheels raised. For details,
refer to AYC Operation Check on
P.27-34.
14Clutch operation (right)Let the directional valve operate to
supply the maximum pressure to the
right clutch.The operation conditions are to be
checked by the speed difference
between left and right rear wheels
with the wheels raised. For details,
refer to AYC Operation Check on
P.27-34.
15Control OFFTurn off the electric pump relay to
deactivate AYC control.During the test run, some
differences are to be recognized in
running behaviors between when
the system is ON and when it is
OFF.
NOTE
(1) The actuator test is feasible only when the following requirements are all satisfied.
All of inputs from four wheel speed sensors show 20 km/h or lower.
No system failure is registered.
The steering angle is within ±30 deg. from the neutral position.
(2) The actuator test comes to an end when either of the following conditions is met since the forced
actuation is canceled.
Either of inputs from four wheel sensors shows higher than 20 km/h (with exception of Item
No.15 “Control OFF”).
Some trouble with the system is registered.
Forced activation time expires.
MUT-II is removed.
The clear key of MUT-II is operated.
