CHECK ANY OTHER DIAGNOSTIC TROU-
BLE CODES APPEARANCE.
Are other diagnostic trouble codes being out-
put?

Other DTC indicated.

Proceed with the 
diagnosis corre-
sponding to the 
diagnostic trouble 
code.

A temporary poor 
contact.

10

CHECK VDCCM.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Replace steering angle sensor.
3) Erase the memory.
4) Perform inspection mode.
5) Read out the diagnostic trouble code.

Is the same diagnostic trouble code as in 
the current diagnosis still being output?

Same DTC indicated.

Replace VDCCM.

CHECK ANY OTHER DIAGNOSTIC TROU-
BLE CODES APPEARANCE.
Are other diagnostic trouble codes being out-
put?

Other DTC indicated.

Proceed with the 
diagnosis corre-
sponding to the

Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK THE STEERING WHEEL.
1) Drive the vehicle on a flat road.
2) Stop the vehicle in a straight line.
3) Check the angle of steering wheel.

Is the measured value less than the speci-
fied value?

5

°

Go to step 2.

Perform centering 
alignment of steer-
ing.

2

CHECK RUNNING FIELD.
Was the vehicle driven on banked road sur-
faces or sandy surfaces (not dirt road sur-
faces) or surfaces with holes or bumps at high 
speeds?

Driven

Driving on banked 
road surfaces or 
sandy surfaces 
(not dirt road sur-
faces) or surfaces 
with holes or 
bumps at high 
speeds, some-
times results in a 
VDCCM memory 
trouble code.

Go to step 3.

3

CHECK INSTALLATION OF YAW RATE AND 
LATERAL G SENSOR.
Check installation of yaw rate and lateral G 
sensor.
Is the yaw rate and lateral G sensor fixed 
securely?

Fixed securely.

Go to step 4.

Install yaw rate 
and lateral G sen-
sor securely.

4

CHECK POWER SUPPLY OF YAW RATE 
AND LATERAL G SENSOR.
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from yaw rate and 

lateral G sensor.

3) Turn ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure voltage between yaw rate and lat-

eral G sensor and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(R100) No. 3 (

):

Is the measured value within the specified 
range?

10 — 15 V

Go to step 7.

Go to step 5.

5

CHECK OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF VDCCM.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from VDCCM.
3) Remove cover for VDCCM connector. 

<Ref. to VDC-19, REMOVE, VDCCM Con-
nector Cover.>

4) Connect connector to VDCCM.
5) Turn ignition switch to ON.
6) Measure voltage between VDCCM connec-

tor and chassis ground.

Repair harness 
between yaw rate 
and lateral G sen-
sor and VDCCM.

Go to step 6.

6

CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTORS.
Is there poor contact in yaw rate and lateral G 
sensor connector?

There is poor contact.

Repair or replace 
VDCCM connec-
tor.

Replace VDCCM.
