   1. 

      Text in Illustration

      *1	Wooden Block

      Secure the steering column assembly in a vise.

      Note

      When using a vise, do not overtighten it.

   2. Using SST and a torque wrench, turn the main shaft at a fixed speed of approximately 1 revolution every 4 seconds and measure the preload.

      SST

      09616-00011

      Torque:

      Preload

      1.45 N*m  { 14.8 kgf*cm, 12.8 in.*lbf }

      or less

      If the preload is not as specified, replace the steering column assembly with a new one.

2. INSPECT STEERING LOCK OPERATION (w/o Power Switch)

   
   

   1. Remove the key and check that the steering lock function is activated.

   2. 

      *1

      LOCK

      Insert the key, turn the ignition switch to ACC and check that the steering lock function has been deactivated.

3. INSPECT STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY

   
   

   1. 

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

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

   2.

      *1	Capsule
      *a	OK
      *b	NG

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

      Standard
      Capsules do not overlap the corner parts of the brackets.

      Note

      
      

      • If the standard value is not satisfied, replace the steering column assembly with a new one.

      • If the capsules have deformation, damage or misalignment, replace the steering column assembly with a new one.
