CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION

• Check installation conditions of steering gear assembly, front suspension assembly, axle and steering col-

umn assembly.

• Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial

direction.

• Check steering gear assembly mounting bolts and nuts for looseness. Refer to

ST-12, "Removal and Instal-

lation"

CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY

• Turn steering wheel so that front wheels come to the straight-ahead position. Start engine and lightly turn

steering wheel to the left and right until front wheels start to move. Measure steering wheel movement on the
outer circumference.

• When the measurement value is outside the standard value, check backlash for each joint of steering col-

umn assembly and installation condition of steering gear assembly.

CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION STEERING WHEEL

• Make sure that steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and steering wheel are installed in the

correct position.

• Perform neutral position inspection after wheel alignment. Refer to

SR-2, "Precaution for Supplemental

Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER""

• Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position and confirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.
• Loosen outer socket lock nut and turn inner socket to left and right equally to make fine adjustments if steer-

ing wheel is not in the neutral position.

CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE

Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.

Start engine.

Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 360

from neutral position using suitable tool as

shown.

If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, refer to

STC-3, "Work Flow"

CHECKING FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE

Steering wheel axial end play

: 0 mm (0 in)

Steering wheel play

: 0 - 35 mm (0 - 1.38 in)

Steering wheel

< ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE >

• Check front wheel turning angle after toe-in inspection. Place front

wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands.
Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH
and RH road wheels.

• With the engine at idle, turn steering wheel from full left stop to full

right stop and measure the turning angles.

• Measure rack stroke if angles are outside the specified value. RHD

shown LHD similar.

• Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that rack

stroke is outside of the standard.

• Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear assembly,

steering column assembly and front suspension components for
wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the
specified value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condi-
tion exists.

Removal and Installation

INFOID:0000000001282499

REMOVAL

NOTE:
When reconnecting spiral cable, secure cable with a tape so that case and rotating part keep aligned. This will
omit neutral position alignment procedure during spiral cable installation.

Set front wheels to straight-ahead position.

Remove driver air bag module. Refer to

SR-4, "Removal and Installation"

Remove steering wheel lock nut after steering is locked.

Remove steering wheel.

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

Do not run spiral cable idle needlessly. And do not turn it more than necessary (or it leads to discon-
nection of the cable).
NOTE:
• The neutral position is set as follows.

Turn the spiral cable clockwise to the end position. Then turn it
counterclockwise (about 2 and half turns) and stop turning at the
point on which the stopper insertion holes are in the same position
(B). The service part is installed in the neutral position by the stop-
per and can be set without adjusting after the stopper is removed.

• Adjust the spiral cable locating pin (B) to the steering wheel locat-

ing pin hole (C).

COMPONENT

CAUTION:

• Do not allow axial impact to steering column assembly during removal and installation.
• Steering column must be kept at maximum tilt up position during removal and installation. Do not

operate tilt mechanism while steering column is out of the vehicle.

• Put matching mark on intermediate shaft and steering column assembly before removing intermedi-

ate shaft.

• When steering wheel is turned repeatedly with the vehicle stopped, care must be taken because

motor and EPS control unit may get too hot.

• Steering column assembly is heavy. Care must be taken when removing steering column assembly

from vehicle.

• Do not put steering column assembly near the things that generate excessive magnetic force.
• Steering column assembly (with motor, reduction gear, sensor) cannot be disassembled.

REMOVAL

Set front wheels to straight ahead-position.

Remove driver air bag module. Refer to

SR-4, "Removal and Installation"

Remove steering wheel. Refer to

ST-8, "Removal and Installation"

Remove steering column cover (upper and lower). Refer to

IP-10, "Component Parts"

Remove combination switch and spiral cable. Refer to

SR-7, "Removal and Installation"

Remove instrument lower finisher. Refer to

IP-10, "Component Parts"
