Hey guys,

I have read every 4WS related thread on the whole of the interweb looking for help on this - before I finally decided to post up.

I dont know if anyone here has had any experience with fixing 4WS errors?

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Read the error message from the code - workshop manual says front sub steering sensor.
2. Soldered 4WS ECU with instructions from this forum.
3. Jacked up front of the car and did the 4WS front sub steering sensor alignment and electronic center check from the workshop manual.
4. Still got error message.
5. Replaced front sub steering sensor from another known working 4WS car (my jdm wreck).
6. Jacked up front of the car and did the 4WS front sub steering sensor alignment and electronic center check from the workshop manual.


Went for a drive and thought everything was gonna be great guns then got the error message AGAIN!

Has anyone had any experience with this particular error? Its 2 long flashes - no short flashes (I read this as code 20).

I have the benefit of lots of 4ws parts because I have a JDM wrecked lude in the yard and am willing to swap parts off it. If anyone has any idea of what I need to do to solve this - please help me out.

Thanks.

 

I'm sure you tried this because it's pretty simplistic, but I gotta ask because it solved someone elses probs with a code recently (burtonsk8r or something)

anyways, between replacing the sensor, did you completely disconnect the battery to clear the code? or otherwise disconnect the 4ws unit from power?

hope that helps... like I said simplistic, and i'm sure you tried it you seem pretty thorough.

 

Thanks for the reply mate!

Yea I disconnected the battery for a good 5mins before reconnecting to make sure the code was cleared. The 4ws alignment procedure doesnt work unless all codes are cleared.
