Zero Point Calibration (1 Viewer)

[Tapage]

Hello there ..

For the past 8 months I was tortured by the skid and abs lights on my dash thanks to my ignorance ..

Coming from old 60 and 80 series with virtually no electronics .. steering wheel sensor was a new thing to me. Well a little background. I replace my front coils on Cleopatra and logically my track moved to the left .. Decided to fix that proceed to adjust my panhard .. that went flawless except that I forgot to adjust the drag link .. big mistake.

Skid / VSC / ABS / Traction control Systems did not like that ..

Did not like straight wheels but not straight steering wheel ..

but after about 8 months or so ..

I'm happy to inform that I won this battle ..

took me certainly more time that it was expected ..

The situation was basically this

One of the chipsets on the steering angle sensor ( spiral cable ) got corrupt. That happened at the moment of the vehicle motion, with non straight wheels and straight steering wheel ..

Simply in this terms ..

that's a condition that Toyota does not contemplate in their programing ..

you can either buy another spiral cable / steering sensor and perform the zero point calibration procedure or erase the chipset point blank to be written again as a new one ..

Got the hint from here ..



you need to open the angle sensor and remove this chip for the procedure ..

or either you can buy another

84307-60220

and perform the zero point calibration as FSM with Techstream ..

either will deliver the same results ..

I hope this helps others not making the same mistake ..

That's interesting.
I vaguely remember having to do this in my 200 Series but it was all done via the MFD but turning the wheel lock to lock.

Not sure if the programing on the 200 series it's different .. but the angle sensor part number it's exclusive . .. even thought I don't see Mr. T doing something different between models .. ( Land Cruiser wise ).

J**p have this sort it out as easy as you point ..
