STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

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

   
   
   1. 

      *a	Capsule
      *b	OK
      *c	NG

      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 TILT STEERING GEAR WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY (for Power Tilt and Power Telescopic Steering Column)

   
   
   1. 

      *a

      Capsule

      Check that the 2 capsules are securely installed to the tilt steering gear with motor assembly as shown in the illustration.

      If the capsules are deformed, damaged or misaligned, replace the tilt steering gear with motor 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)

   
   
   1. 

      *a	Component without harness connected (Telescopic Motor)

      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.
