'How to' for 4WS codes

[paddlesnz]

For those very few who have RHD and 4WS, here are the codes for deciphering the 4WS check light.

1) Remove the kick panel just beside accelerator pedal.
2) Locate blue wires.
3) Locate black connector. Hold it so that the notch is up.
4) With ignition off, insert one (either one) of the blue wires into top row, 4th pin from left. (The black connector has 4 pins in the top row and six in the bottom row)
5) Turn key to on position, but do not start the car.
6) Watch flashing 4WS light on dashboard. Count blinks. Long blinks = 10, Short blinks = 1.
7) Keep watching flashing light until you have remembered the code/codes

CODE PROBABLE CAUSE

11 Speed sensor - cut/short
13 Steering Wheel Angle Sensor - off centre
14 4WS ECU - no power
21 Steering Wheel Angle Sensor - cut/short or sensor failed
22 Steering Wheel Angle Speed Sensor - cut/short
31 Rear Wheel Steering Sensor and Motor - failed
32 Rear Wheel Steering Sensor - cut/short�@or sensor failed
33 Rear Wheel Steering Speed Sensor - cut/short or sensor failed
34,37 Rear Steering Motor - no power
35 Rear Wheel Steering locked due to short in Steering Motor
36 Rear Steering - Left/Right Lock has been exceeded.
41, 43, 44 4WS ECU failed
42 Rear Wheel Steering Motor - no power due to blown fuse
45 Rear Wheel Steering Motor short, ECU failed

To clear codes (after problem has been resolved):

1) Ignition 'OFF'
2) Remove Fuse SBF7 (4WS) from Fuse Box in Engine Bay. Wait 5 minutes.
3) Reinsert fuse.
4) Recheck as above to ensure all codes have been cleared. No codes = steady blinks at 1/4 second intervals.

Greetings Paul,

Long time no see. Thanks for the info and good to see that you are still looking in here.
I am expecting a visitor regarding the problem and hope I can be of some assistance but do not like the prospect of trying to sort out such a well worn and multi owner car. If it looks expensive best thing will be to lock up everything if that can be done easily.

When are you due home again ?

Regards, Trevor.

I'll be back in NZ in just over a month for a couple of weeks. Looking forward to driving my SVX again after a year in storage.

Greetings Paul,

If we can meet up again let me know. I think and trust you have my 'phone number and email. If not send a PM.

The SVX will be looking forward to some exercise. What about a bash up this way ? Possibly I still hold the Auck./Wgtn. record !

Regards, Trevor,
