Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK VDCCM&H/U.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect all connectors.
3) Clear the memory. <Ref. to VDC(diag)-23, 
Clear Memory Mode.>
4) Perform the Inspection Mode. <Ref. to 
VDC(diag)-22, Inspection Mode.>
5) Read the DTC. 

Is the same DTC displayed?

Replace the 
VDCCM only. 
<Ref. to VDC-10, 
REPLACEMENT, 
VDC Control Mod-
ule and Hydraulic 
Control Unit 
(VDCCM&H/U).>

Go to step 2.

2

CHECK OTHER DTC DETECTION.

Is any other DTC displayed?

Perform the diag-
nosis according to 
DTC. <Ref. to 
VDC(diag)-34, List 
of Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code (DTC).>

Temporary poor 
contact occurs.

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR STEERING 
ANGLE SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from steering 
angle sensor.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between the steering 
angle sensor and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B231) No. 4 (+) — Chassis ground (–):

Is the voltage 10 — 15 V?

Go to step 2.

Repair the power 
supply circuit of 
steering angle sen-
sor.

2

CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT OF STEERING 
ANGLE SENSOR.
Measure the resistance between steering angle 
sensor and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B231) No. 3 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance less than 0.5 

:? Go to step 3.

Repair ground cir-
cuit in the steering 
angle sensor.

3

CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR HAR-
NESS.
1) Disconnect the connector from the 
VDCCM&H/U.
2) Measure the resistance between 
VDCCM&H/U and steering angel sensor.

Connector & terminal

(B231) No. 1 — (B310) No. 10:
(B231) No. 2 — (B310) No. 35:

Is the resistance less than 0.5 

:? Go to step 4.

Repair the harness 
between the steer-
ing angle sensor 
and VDCCM&H/U.

4

CHECK GROUND SHORT CIRCUIT OF 
STEERING ANGLE SENSOR HARNESS.
Measure the resistance between steering angle 
sensor and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B231) No. 1 — Chassis ground:
(B231) No. 2 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance 1 M

: or 

more?

Go to step 5.

Repair the harness 
between the steer-
ing angle sensor 
and VDCCM&H/U.

5

CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect all connectors.
3) Clear the memory. <Ref. to VDC(diag)-23,

Go to step 7.

6

CHECK VDCCM&H/U.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Replace the steering angle sensor.
3) Clear the memory. <Ref. to VDC(diag)-23, 
Clear Memory Mode.>
4) Perform the Inspection Mode. <Ref. to
