Quadrasteer Dog Track
Owners of some 2002-05 Chevrolet and GMC full size trucks and utilities with Quadrasteer (NYS) Rear Wheel Steering may comment that the rear wheels stay turned even after the front wheels are straight.
This may be accompanied by a Service 4 Wheel Steer message on the DIC and/or a DTC set in the 4 Wheel Steer module.
When a fault is detected during a turn, the Rear Wheel Steering module will perform a controlled re-centering of the rear wheels. It may take up to 30 seconds for the rear wheels to center.
During this 30 seconds, the owner may have straightened the front wheels and the rear wheels could still be turned (dog tracking).
An owner may believe that the rear wheels are stuck in the turned position when in fact this is normal operation.
Do not let this normal operation add confusion to the actual concern. Perform normal diagnostics for the DTC set.
