DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Do not damage strut piston rod when removing components from strut.
1. Install strut attachment [SST] to strut and secure it in a vise.
CAUTION:
Wrap a shop cloth around strut to protect it from damage
when installing strut attachment [SST] to strut.
2. Compress coil spring between upper rubber seat and lower rub-
ber seat (strut) using spring compressor (commercial service
tool) until coil spring is free.
CAUTION:
Start compressing coil spring after making sure that the
compressor is completely attached to coil spring.
3. Make sure that coil spring with the compressor is free between
spring upper rubber seat and lower spring seat (strut), and then
remove piston rod lock nut while securing the end of piston rod
so as not to rotate piston rod.
4. Remove mounting insulator bracket, mounting bearing, spring
upper seat, spring upper rubber seat, bound bumper from strut.
5. Remove coil spring with the compressor, and then gradually release the compressor.
CAUTION:

Operation Procedure (without VDC)
1. Stop the vehicle at the straight-ahead position under the unladen condition (seat 1 person on the driver's
seat).
2. Touch ADAPTIVE LIGHT” on “SELECT SYSTEM” screen.
3. Touch “WORK SUPPORT” on “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen.
4. Touch “ST ANG SEN ADJUSTMENT” on “SELECT WORK ITEM” screen.
5. Touch “START”.
CAUTION:
Never touch steering wheel while adjusting steering angle
sensor.
6. When “ADJUSTMENT COMPLETE” is displayed, touch “END”.
7. Touch “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” on “SELECT DIAG MODE”
screen.
8. Make sure that “NO DTC” is displayed.
When “ [B2520] ST ANGLE SEN CALIB” is displayed

If the steering is turned during the adjustment, perform the
adjustment again.

If any condition other than above exists, check the connection
conditions between steering angle sensor, AFS control unit,
CONSULT-II and harnesses, and then perform the adjustment
again. After the adjustment is completed, replace AFS control
unit if [B2520] is not erased from self-diagnostic results.
CAUTION:
If [U1000] CAN COMM CIRCUIT or [B2515] ST ANG SEN SIG is displayed, first refer to LT- 8 4 ,
"SELF-DIAG RESULTS" of self-diagnostic results, and then perform the diagnosis.
9. Turn ignition switch OFF, and then turn ON again.
CAUTION:
Never skip this step.
10. Drive the vehicle to the straight-ahead position, and then stop it.
11. Select “ST ANG SEN SIG” on “SELECTION FROM MENU” screen of “DATA MONITOR” of CONSULT-II.
Make sure that “ST ANG SEN SIG” is within 0 ± 2.5°. If it is other than 0 ± 2.5°, perform steps 1 to 10

of the following item.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >>

When “SLCT LVR POSI” does not change depending on select lever operation, refer to AT- 1 6 6 ,
"PNP SWITCH" (with A/T) or CVT-62, "DTC P0705 PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH"
(with CVT). If above system is normal, replace AFS control unit. Refer to LT- 9 4 , "Removal and
Installation of AFS Control Unit" .

When “HEAD LAMP LO”, “HEAD LAMP HI” does not change depending on lighting switch
operation, refer to LT- 7 5 , "
System Description" . If above system is normal, replace AFS control
unit. Refer to LT- 9 4 , "
Removal and Installation of AFS Control Unit" .
3. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
Check “STR ANGLE SIG” in “DATA MONITOR” when steering wheel
is driving straight and steering turn 90° to right or left.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >>

When steering is out of range while driving straight,
perform steering angle sensor adjustment. Refer to LT- 8 2 , "
WORK SUPPORT" .

When the function is normal while driving straight but the displayed value is different from
actual steering position with turning to right or left, replace steering angle sensor. Refer to LT-

When “STR ANGLE SIG” is out of range, replace
steering angle sensor.

When monitor indicates 0.0 degrees constantly, check steering angle sensor power supply and
ground circuit. If above system is normal, replace steering angle sensor.
3. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR 3
Check “STR ANGLE SIG” in “DATA MONITOR” when steering wheel
is turn maximum to right or left.
OK or NG
OK >> INSPECTION END.
NG >> When monitor indicates +3276.7° or –3276.7° degrees,
check front wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-18, "
