ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECK

M1372001000850

1. With the engine running (hydraulic pressure applied), 

position the front wheel in the straight ahead position.

AC609390AB

2. Measure the side to side steering wheel play until the front 

wheels actually start moving while turning the steering wheel 
slightly in the left and right directions.

Limit: 30 mm (1.2 inch)

3. If the steering wheel play exceeds the limit value, check the 

steering shaft joint or steering linkage for looseness, and 
replace or repair the faulty components if necessary.

4. If the steering wheel play still exceeds the limit value after 

Step 3 is performed, position the steering wheel in the 
straight ahead position, and then apply the force 
(approximately 5 N) in the circumferential direction.

Standard value (steering wheel play with the engine 
stopped): 16.5 mm (0.6 inch) or less

5. If the steering wheel play is outside the standard value after 

Step 4 is performed, remove the steering gear and linkage, 
and check and adjust the pinion total rotation torque. (Refer 
to 

P.37-31

).

STEERING ANGLE CHECK

M1372001101225

CAUTION

After adjusting the steering angle, perform calibration to 
make the ASC-ECU learn the neutral position of the steer-
ing wheel sensor. (Refer to GROUP 35C 

 On-vehicle Ser-

vice, Steering Wheel Sensor Calibration 

P.35C-267

.)

1. Check that the wheel alignment is normal. (Refer to GROUP 

33 

− On-vehicle Service, Wheel Alignment Check and 

Adjustment (Refer to 

P.33-7

.)

AC000756AB

2. Place the front wheel onto the turning radius gauge, and 

measure the steering angle.
