STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY (for Manual Tilt and Manual Telescopic Steering Column)

   
   
   1. 

      *a	Capsule
      *b	Correct
      *c	Incorrect

      Check that the 2 capsules are securely installed to the steering column assembly as shown in the illustration.

      If the capsules are deformed, damaged or misaligned, replace the steering column assembly with a new one.

2. INSPECT STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY (for Power Tilt and Power Telescopic Steering Column)

   
   
   1. 

      *a

      Capsule

      Check that the 2 capsules are securely installed to the steering column assembly as shown in the illustration.

      If the capsules are deformed, damaged or misaligned, replace the steering column assembly with a new one.

3. INSPECT TILT MOTOR (for Power Tilt and Power Telescopic Steering Column)

   
   
   1. 

      *a	Component without harness connected (Tilt Motor)

      Apply 12 V battery voltage to the tilt motor connector. Then check the steering wheel tilt operation.

      OK
      Measurement Condition Specified Condition 12 V battery positive (+) lead → Terminal 2 (TIM-) 12 V battery negative (-) lead → Terminal 1 (TIM+) The steering wheel tilts down. 12 V battery positive (+) lead → Terminal 1 (TIM+) 12 V battery negative (-) lead → Terminal 2 (TIM-) The steering wheel tilts up.

4. INSPECT TELESCOPIC MOTOR (for Power Tilt and Power Telescopic Steering Column)

   

   *a	Component without harness connected (Telescopic Motor)

   
   

   1. Apply 12 V battery voltage to the telescopic motor connector. Then check the steering column telescopic operation.

      OK
      Measurement Condition Specified Condition 12 V battery positive (+) lead → Terminal 2 (TEM+) 12 V battery negative (-) lead → Terminal 1 (TEM-) The steering column contracts. 12 V battery positive (+) lead → Terminal 1 (TEM-) 12 V battery negative (-) lead → Terminal 2 (TEM+) The steering column extends.
