    Is DTC 86-19 indicated?

    YES 

    If only DTC 86-19 is indicated, go to step 2.

    YES 

    If DTC 86-11 is also indicated, go to DTC 86-11 - Refer to:

    If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the Freeze data/on-board snapshot.

  2. Open wire check (F-CAN_L, F-CAN_H lines)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connectors.

    VSA modulator-control unit 38P connector
    Steering angle sensor 4P connector

    - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      VSA modulator-control unit 38P connector: disconnected
      Steering angle sensor 4P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit F-CAN_L
    Test point 1 VSA modulator-control unit 38P connector No. 26 (BLK)
    Test point 2 Steering angle sensor 4P connector No. 3 (BLK)
    Test circuit F-CAN_H
    Test point 1 VSA modulator-control unit 38P connector No. 38 (WHT)
    Test point 2 Steering angle sensor 4P connector No. 2 (WHT)

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The F-CAN_L and F-CAN_H wires are OK. Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the steering angle sensor and the VSA modulator-control unit.

  3. Open wire check (IG1 SAFETY line)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      VSA modulator-control unit 38P connector: disconnected
      Steering angle sensor 4P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit IG1 SAFETY
    Test point 1 Steering angle sensor 4P connector No. 1 (YEL)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    The IG1 SAFETY wire is OK. Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the No. D23 (7. 5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the steering angle sensor.

  4. Open wire check (SGND line)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Reconnect the following connectors.

    VSA modulator-control unit 38P connector
    Steering angle sensor 4P connector

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
    Test circuit SGND
    Test point 1 Steering angle sensor 4P connector No. 4 (BRN)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH329187Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there 0. 1 V or less?

    YES 

    The SGND wire is OK. Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the steering angle sensor and body ground (G507).

  5. Steering angle sensor check (substitution)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Substitute a known-good steering angle sensor.

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 5. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, then to the ON mode.

    - 6. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC 86-19 indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 6.

    NO 

    Replace the original steering angle sensor .

  6. VSA modulator-control unit check (update)

    - 1. Update the VSA modulator-control unit if it does not have the latest software.

    - 2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, then to the ON mode.

    - 3. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC Description DTC Freeze Frame
