Disassembly and Assembly

NGS0004L

COMPONENTS

DISASSEMBLY

1.

Remove RAS actuator assembly from RAS actuator covers.

2.

Remove mounting bolts of RAS motor assembly, and then remove RAS motor, ground terminal, O-ring
from RAS actuator assembly.

3.

Remove mounting bolts of rear wheel steering angle sensor, and then remove rear wheel steering angle
sensor, O-ring from RAS actuator assembly.

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY

Check RAS actuator cover (rear wheel steering angle sensor mounting area) for crush, deformation, cracks,
or other damage. Replace the RAS actuator if the malfunction is detected.

ASSEMBLY

Note the following, and assembly is the reverse order of disassembly.

●

Refer to

STC-92, "COMPONENTS"

about each tightening torque.

●

After assembling RAS actuator assembly (after removing and installing rear wheel angle sensor and RAS
motor), perform the neutral position adjustment. Refer to

STC-92, "Neutral Position"

.

ADJUSTMENT AFTER ASSEMBLING

1.

Adjust neutral position. Refer to

STC-92, "Neutral Position"

.

2.

Adjust rear wheel alignment. Refer to

RSU-5, "Wheel Alignment Inspection"

.

Neutral Position

CAUTION:

●

Perform the neutral position adjustment after installing the RAS actuator assembly to the vehicle.
Before that, remove the rear lower link from the RAS actuator assembly.

●

Disassembling the RAS actuator assembly (when removing the rear wheel steering angle sensor
and RAS motor)

1.

Remove the rear lower link if RAS actuator assembly is assembled to the vehicle. Refer to

STC-91,

"COMPONENTS"

.

2.

Disconnect ground harness connector and rear wheel steering angle sensor harness connector.

3.

Remove rear wheel steering angle sensor from the RAS actuator assembly.

4.

Disconnect RAS motor harness connector.

5.

Install the spacer (A) as per the following procedure.

a.

Remove the boot band of the RAS actuator assembly.

b.

Turn over the boot of the RAS actuator assembly.

c.

Insert the spacer [2.9 mm (0.114 in) thick] between the rod (1)
and gear housing assembly (2).

CAUTION:

Never damage the boot and boot band.

d.

Supply 6 V voltage by connecting the four 1.5 V batteries in a
series. Connect them to the RAS motor connector (A), and then
operate the motor and adjust the neutral position by installing
the spacer.

CAUTION:

Never supply 12 V voltage (battery, etc.) to the RAS motor.

NOTE:
For right stroke, connect positive probe to the RAS motor con-
nector terminal 1. For left stroke, connect it to the terminal 2.

6.

Install rear wheel steering angle sensor with O-ring to the RAS
actuator assembly.

CAUTION:

●

Never reuse the O-ring.

●

Apply grease to the O-ring.

7.

Temporarily tighten the mounting bolts in the specified torque that the rear wheel steering angle sensor
can be moved by hand.

8.

Connect ground harness connector and rear wheel steering angle sensor harness connector.

9.

Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)

10. Turn and adjust the rear wheel steering angle sensor so as to make each sensor signal of “DATA MONI-

TOR”mode to the following standard with CONSULT-II.

CAUTION:

During DATA MONITOR mode, “MONITORING ERROR” is displayed. But there is not malfunction
in this procedure.

11. Tighten rear wheel steering angle sensor mounting bolts. Refer to

STC-92, "COMPONENTS"

.

12. Perform the self-diagnosis and then erase self-diagnostic results. Refer to

STC-53, "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC

PROCEDURE (WITHOUT CONSULT-II)"

and

STC-54, "ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS"

.

13. Perform CONSULT-II “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” again, and then make sure that there is no malfunction.
