Section 10 STEERING SYSTEM
Subsection 03 (OFF-THROTTLE ASSISTED STEERING (O.T.A.S.))
Apply 12 V to the jumper wires. Solenoid should
pull on the throttle cable and hold it. Also try to
push on solenoid rod to make sure it is fully col-
lapsed.

If solenoid fails any test, replace solenoid.
WARNING
Whenever solenoid is replaced, ensure to per-

If solenoid tests good, proceed with the sensor
test.

Perform the following tests for left and right sides.
Using the multimeter FLUKE 111 (P/N 529
035 868), measure the resistance between the
BLACK/WHITE and BLACK wires of switch while
steering is roughly at its center position.
Resistance should be between 446.5 and 493.5
.
Otherwise, check wiring harness and if good, re-
place switch.
Turn steering until it is blocked by its stopper.
Keep steering in this position.
Resistance should be 82
.
Otherwise, try any magnet and bring it in front
of the switch. If resistance is now good, replace
magnet.
If both resistance tests are good, check wiring har-
ness and if good, try a new VCM.
Reinstall steering pole cover.
