  2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS


    1. Confirm the conditions present when the VGRS temporarily stopped.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      The system temporarily stopped during normal driving. A
      The system temporarily stopped under harsh conditions such as when turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is stopped. B

      Tech Tips

      When the steering torque is large, the actuator easily overheats. In this situation, the system is stopped to prevent the actuator from overheating.

  3. CHECK STEERING EFFORT


    1. Check the steering torque when the steering wheel is turned with the vehicle stopped (for 1VD-FTV: See page , for 1UR-FE: See page , for 3UR-FE: Click here.

      OK
      The steering torque is normal.

      Tech Tips

      When the power steering system has failed, the system is stopped to protect the system when the load torque is large.

  4. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS


    1. Check if the system stops repeatedly when steering the vehicle.

      OK
      The system does not stop repeatedly.

      Tech Tips

      After the engine switch is turned on (IG) and the steering wheel is operated, an initial check of the lock is performed. When operating the steering wheel during the initial check, VGRS operation may be stopped, but operation is resumed again quickly.


    OK

  5. CHECK VGRS SYSTEM


    1. Operate the steering wheel and check that the system recovers.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      The system recovers when the steering wheel is operated. A
      The system recovers when the steering wheel is not operated. B

    OK
