1. TROUBLESHOOTING PRECAUTIONS
a. If the problem is caused by a poor connection of a terminal or poor installation of a part,

reconnecting the terminal, or removing and reinstalling the part may solve the problem, or may
temporarily return the system to normal.
b. To specify the cause of the problem, check for DTCs or confirm vehicle operating conditions
when the problem occurred and note them down before disconnecting connectors or removing
parts.
c. Be sure to check for DTCs in other systems as the problem may be caused by a malfunction in
another system.
d. DTCs may be stored in the EPS and/or ECB systems due to VGRS system inspections. Check
for DTCs in the EPS and ECB systems and clear any output codes after inspecting the VGRS
system.
e. When the engine switch is turned on/off, system start-up/stop operation is performed. At this
time, a small operating sound can be heard and the steering wheel slightly moves in a turning
direction.
f. If "INVALID" is displayed for "STRAIGHT ANG FLG" in the data list, the VGRS system does not
operate.
g. If the steering wheel is turned left and right with the engine switch off, a noise can be heard.
However, this is not a malfunction.
2. HANDLING AND OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS
a. Removal and installation of the steering control ECU, steering actuator, and each sensor must
be performed with the engine switch off unless specified.
b. If the steering control ECU, steering actuator, or a sensor is removed and installed, perform the
test mode inspection, check for DTCs, and confirm that the normal system code is output.
c. If the engine switch is turned on (IG) with the steering control ECU connector disconnected,
DTCs may be stored in the EPS and/or ECB systems. Check for DTCs in those systems and
clear any output codes after completing repair.
3. PRECAUTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF STEERING SYSTEM PARTS
a. If the steering control ECU or steering actuator is replaced, perform actuator angle neutral point
calibration and initialization.
b. The steering control ECU cannot be disassembled or repaired. If there is any problem with the
1 of 87 12/22/2014 1:53 PM
steering control ECU, replace with a new one.
4. PRECAUTIONS FOR STEERING WHEEL OFF-CENTER
NOTE: If the steering wheel is still off-center

after completing steering angle sensor initialization
(See INITIALIZATION ), perform VGRS system
calibration (See INITIALIZATION ).
HINT:
The steering wheel may become off-center under any of the following conditions.
These conditions do not indicate a malfunction.
1. The steering wheel is turned when the engine switch is off.
2. The steering wheel is turned quickly.
3. The steering wheel is turned to the left or right lock position.
If the steering wheel is off-center, drive the vehicle at 35 km/h (22 mph) or more for 5 seconds
or more, or turn the steering wheel to the left and right with the vehicle stopped or while driving
at low speeds. This may center the steering wheel.
5. CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH VGRS SYSTEM DOES NOT OPERATE
a. The VGRS system does not operate under any of the following conditions:
a. Power supply voltage is low or too high.
b. A fail-safe function is operating to protect the system from overheating. (System control
is suspended to prevent the motor in the steering actuator and the steering control
ECU from overheating. If the temperatures of the motor and ECU drop, the system will
return to normal.)
c. The vehicle is exposed to extremely low temperatures. (If the ambient temperature
becomes approximately -30C, system control will be suspended.)
NOTE: If any of the above occurs,

perform steering angle sensor initialization
(See INITIALIZATION ).

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
a. The VGRS (Variable Gear Ratio Steering) system controls the steering angle in accordance with
vehicle speed. The system is controlled by the steering control ECU which operates the steering
actuator mounted on the steering intermediate shaft. The operating angle of the steering actuator
is added to the steering angle of the intermediate shaft in order to vary the turning angle of the
front wheels in accordance with vehicle speed.
b. When the VGRS system is operating normally, the steering wheel can be turned approximately
2.7 turns from lock to lock, with the engine running and the vehicle stopped.
c. If a malfunction occurs in the VGRS system, steering actuator operation will immediately stop
and the input and output shafts will be directly connected to enable the conventional steering
mechanism to operate, maintaining steering function (fail-safe). At the same time, the master
warning light (VGRS) will come on to inform the driver of the malfunction.

b. In this step, the neutral position of the steering wheel is restored from the steering
control ECU memory.
c. Confirm that steering angle sensor initialization is completed (when using the intelligent tester).
a. Enter the VGRS menu using the intelligent tester. Select "STRAIGHT ANG FLG" from
"DATA LIST". Check if the steering angle sensor has obtained a tire angle (during
straight-ahead driving) signal.

HINT:
If the display shows a communication error message when you connect the cable of
the intelligent tester to the DLC3, turn the engine switch on (IG) and operate the
intelligent tester, there is a problem on either the vehicle side or the tool side.
a. If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle,

inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.
b. If communication is still not possible when the tool is connected to another

vehicle, the problem is probably in the tool itself. Consult the Service
Department listed in the tool's instruction manual.
c. If the problem still occurs after the above inspection is performed, there may
be a problem with the DLC3 connector.
2. FUNCTION OF WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE
a. If a malfunction occurs during system operation, the master warning light (VGRS) on the
combination meter assembly will come on and "CHECK VGRS" will be displayed on the multi-
information display to inform the driver of the system malfunction.

CHECK MODE PROCEDURE
1. TEST MODE (VGRS SENSOR SIGNAL CHECK)
HINT:
1. When the system enters test mode, "VGRS TEST MODE" is displayed on the multi-information
display.
2. Before entering test mode, check and repair any malfunctions indicated by the present DTCs of
the VGRS system.
3. By switching from normal mode to test mode, the steering angle sensor can be read.
4. When entering test mode, the steering control ECU sets all the test mode DTCs first.
5. When the mode is switched from test mode to normal mode, all the test mode DTCs will be
erased.
a. Check the test mode DTCs (using the intelligent tester).

The combination meter will turn the master warning light on based on this information.
Warning information is transmitted via the following route:
Steering control ECU --> (CAN) --> Power steering ECU --> (CAN) --> Gateway ECU --> (BEAN) -->
Combination meter
Connecting terminals TC and CG of the DLC3 makes the master warning light blink and outputs DTCs.
