Calibration of Decel G Sensor
After removing/installing or replacing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), yaw rate/side/decel G sensor, steering and suspension components
which affect wheel alignment or after adjusting wheel alignment, be sure to calibrate the decel G sensor before running vehicle.
NOTE: Calibration of decel G sensor requires CONSULT-II.
1. Stop vehicle with front wheels in straight-ahead position.
