FaultCrate・Quadrasteer: rear wheels stay turned after the front wheels are straight (controlled re-centering after a fault, normal operation)
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.

What to do
- Do not let this normal operation add confusion to the actual concern; perform normal diagnostics for the DTC set.
Caution
- An owner may believe the rear wheels are stuck in the turned position when in fact this is normal operation.
