4WS doesnt work after rack change
I just had my rack replaced at a shop but now my 4WS doesnt work. I checked the fuses, and they are all fine. I didnt get an alignment yet but could it not work because my wheels are out of alignment?
Thanks |
This is a 93 Prelude, by the way
|
is it throwing any codes?
|
how do I check that?

Troubleshooting (4WS) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) The 4WS indicator light displays a code by a series of long and short blinks. This indicator light can display multiple component problems by blinking separate codes, one after another. The number of long blinks equals the first digit of the code, the number of short blinks equals the second digit. When there are multiple codes, there is a two second pause between the codes. System problems can be detected by both the main and sub central processing units (CPUs) in the 4WS control unit. Each CPU can memorize up to 10 codes. If both CPUs have stored codes, the 4WS indicator light will: Blink quickly once as an indicator light check, (this happens only when the ignition switch is first turned on). Pause for three seconds. Display the codes stored in the main CPU. Pause for 3.0 seconds. Blink rapidly for three seconds to indicate the switch between the main and sub CPU. Pause for 3.0 seconds. Display the codes stored in the sub CPU. Pause for six seconds, then repeat the cycle. This cycle will continue until the ignition is turned OFF. NOTE: • Be sure to check both CPUs for at least 10 codes before turning OFF the ignition switch. • If the main and sub CPUs display the same codes, those codes need only be checked once. To display the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) (1) Pull out the service check connector (2P) located behind the center console and connect the two terminals of the DTC indication patternconnector with a jumper wire. (2) Turn the ignition switch ON, but do not start the engine. (3) Watch as the 4WS indicator light blinks to display the code. (4) Record the codes. NOTE: • Be sure to record the code. If you do any of the following, the code will be erased. — Disconnect the battery terminals. — Remove No. 43 CLOCK RADIO (10 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box. — Disconnect the 4WS control unit connector. • If the engine is started with the service connector jumped, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will stay on. |
Ok I just did the troubleshoot and this is what it does:
2 long blinks, 2-3 sec. pause, 2 long blinks, 2-3 sec. pause, 2-3 sec. fast blinking. I assume this is code 20 My ABS light also blinked: 2 long, 1 short Code 21 What should I start looking at? Thanks |
