OK or NG
- OK: Tilt sensor circuit is OK.
- NG: GO TO 2.
CHECK HARNESS CONTINUITY
1. Disconnect automatic drive positioner control unit and tilt sensor.
2. Check continuity between automatic drive positioner connector M41, M42 terminals 7, 33, 41 and tilt sensor connector M69 terminals 1, 2, 3.
  7 (O/L) - 2 (O/L): Continuity should exist.
  
  33 (W/L) - 3 (W/L): Continuity should exist.
  
  41 (Y/G) - 1 (Y/G): Continuity should exist.
3. Check continuity between automatic drive positioner control unit connectors M41, M42 terminals 7, 33, 41 and ground.
  7 (O/L) - Ground: Continuity should not exist.
  
  33 (W/L) - Ground: Continuity should not exist.
  
  41 (Y/G) - Ground: Continuity should not exist.
OK or NG
- OK: Replace tilt motor.
- NG: Repair or replace harness.
