STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY(for Power Tilt and Power Telescopic Steering Column) INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT PRELOAD


    1. Secure the steering column assembly in a vise.

    2. A004S6ZE05

      Using SST, turn the main shaft and measure the preload.

      SST
      09616-00011
      Standard preload
      0.9 to 1.5 N*m (9.3 to 14.8 kgf*cm, 8.0 to 12.8 in.*lbf)

      If the preload is not as specified, replace the steering column assembly.

  2. INSPECT TILT MOTOR

      *1

      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 1 (TIM-)

      12 V battery negative (-) lead → Terminal 2 (TIM+)

      		 Steering wheel tilts down

      12 V battery positive (+) lead → Terminal 2 (TIM+)

      12 V battery negative (-) lead → Terminal 1 (TIM-)

      		 Steering wheel tilts up

  3. INSPECT TELESCOPIC MOTOR

      *1

      Component without harness connected

      (Telescopic Motor)

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

      OK
      Measurement Condition Specified Condition

      12 V battery positive (+) lead → Terminal 2 (TEM+)

      12 V battery negative (-) lead → Terminal 1 (TEM-)

      		 Steering column contracts

      12 V battery positive (+) lead → Terminal 1 (TEM-)

      12 V battery negative (-) lead → Terminal 2 (TEM+)

      		 Steering column extends
