Master Warning Light Malfunction

VARIABLE GEAR RATIO STEERING: VARIABLE GEAR RATIO STEERING SYSTEM: Master Warning Light Malfunction

Master Warning Light Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

If the steering control ECU detects that the VGRS system has a malfunction, warning information is transmitted to the combination meter via CAN communication.
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) -> Network gateway ECU -> (CAN) -> Combination meter

Connecting terminals TC and CG of the DLC3 makes the master warning light blink and outputs DTCs.
