VARIABLE GEAR RATIO STEERING SYSTEM FREEZE FRAME DATA

Tech Tips

The VGRS system stores data when a trouble code is set and can be viewed using the intelligent tester.


  1. FREEZE FRAME DATA OF STEERING CONTROL ECU


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch ON (IG) and check the freeze frame data by following the prompts on the tester screen.
