C1627 4WAS FRONT ACTUATOR

C1627 4WAS FRONT ACTUATOR

Description

INFOID:0000000000958749

• Wiring connected to 4WAS front actuator is integrated with 4WAS front actuator.
• 4WAS front actuator rotates together with steering wheel.
• 4WAS front actuator mainly consists of five components.[4WAS front lock solenoid valve (lock structure),

front wheel steering angle sensor, 4WAS front motor, gear shaft, and spiral cable]

- 4WAS front lock solenoid valve (lock structure) is controlled by the 4WAS front control unit, and locks/

unlocks 4WAS front actuator.

- If a strong force (rotation direction) is applied to 4WAS front actuator, the locking mechanism (holder)

absorbs the force and locks 4WAS front actuator.

- Front wheel steering angle sensor detects a turning angle of 4WAS front motor.
- 4WAS front motor controls number of revolutions by a command value from the 4WAS front control unit.
- Gear shaft is an output axis of 4WAS front motor.(Gear shaft = 4WAS front motor revolution + steering

angle)

- Spiral cables mean the power line and signal lines of 4WAS front motor.

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.

RECHECK DTC

 With CONSULT-III

1.

Start the engine.

CAUTION:

Stop the vehicle.

2.

Steer to 360

°

 leftward slowly. Then steer to 360

°

 rightward to return the steering wheel to the straight-

ahead position. Repeat the same service for 1 minute or more.
NOTE:
The protection function mode (overheat protection) activates and the system stops if steering repeats for a
long time.

3.

Perform 4WAS front control unit self-diagnosis.

Is DTC “C1627” detected?

YES

>> Proceed to diagnosis procedure. Refer to 

STC-50, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

NO

>> INSPECTION END

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000000958751

>> Check the error system.

NO

>> GO TO 2.

2.

PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS (4WAS FRONT CONTROL UNIT)

 With CONSULT-III

Perform 4WAS front control unit self-diagnosis.

Is DTC “C1627” detected?
