STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT PRELOAD


    1. A00YPRWC01
      *a Cloth
      *b Wooden Block

      Secure the steering column assembly in a vise using aluminum plates, cloths and wooden blocks.

      Note

      Do not overtighten the vise.

    2. A00YOGEN01

      Using SST and a torque wrench, turn the steering main shaft at a constant rate of approximately 1 revolution every 4 seconds and measure the preload.

      SST
      09616-00011
      Torque
      Preload
      0.9 to 1.5 N*m (10 to 15 kgf*cm, 8 to 13 in.*lbf)

      If the preload is not as specified, replace the power steering ECU with motor assembly or electric power steering column sub-assembly with a new one.

  2. INSPECT STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY


    1. A00YO40

      Check that the 2 bushings are securely installed to the steering column assembly.

      If the bushings are deformed, missing or damaged, replace the electric power steering column sub-assembly with a new one.

    2. A00YQ8JC02
      *1 Capsule
      *a OK
      *b NG

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

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