PROCEDURE

  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (MOTOR ROTATION ANGLE)

    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Start the engine.

    4. Turn the GTS on.

    5. Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.

      Diagnostic Note

      Motor Rotation Angle

      Motor rotation angle/

      Min.: 0.000 deg

      Max.: 360.000 deg

      Motor rotation angle value changes from 0 to 360°

      The engine is running and the steering wheel is being turned.

      OK

      During steering operation, motor rotation angle value changes from 0 to 360°.
