  1. Communication summary

    Quadrasteer のドッグトラック Quadrasteer(NYS)リアホイールステアリング付きの一部の 2002-05 Chevrolet および GMC フルサイズトラックおよびユーティリティの所有者から、フロントホイールがまっすぐになった後もリアホイールが切れたままになる、という指摘が出ることがある。 これには、DIC の Service 4 Wheel Steer メッセージ、および/または 4 Wheel Steer モジュールへの DTC の記録を伴うことがある。 旋回中に故障が検出されると、リアホイールステアリングモジュールはリアホイールを制御しながら中立位置に戻す。リアホイールが中立に戻るまで最大 30 秒かかることがある。 この 30 秒の間に、所有者がフロントホイールをまっすぐにしていても、リアホイールがまだ切れている(ドッグトラッキング)ことがありうる。 所有者はリアホイールが切れた位置で固着していると思うかもしれないが、実際にはこれは正常な作動である。 この正常な作動のせいで、本来の不具合の見きわめを混乱させないこと。記録された DTC について通常の診断を行う。 Machine translation (unreviewed)
