STEERING LINKAGE INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT TOTAL PRELOAD


    1. Temporarily install the left and right steering rack ends to prevent steering rack overstroke.

    2. A01FDWZE01

      Using SST and a torque wrench, inspect the preload.

      SST
      09616-00011
      Standard turning preload
      0.9 to 1.8 N*m (10 to 18 kgf*cm, 8 to 15 in.*lbf)

      If the turning torque is not as specified, replace the power steering link assembly.

  2. INSPECT POWER STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY


    1. Disconnect the power steering motor connector.

      Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 (W) - 3 (U) Always 0.07 to 10 Ω
      2 (V) - 1 (W) Always 0.07 to 10 Ω
      3 (U) - 2 (V) Always 0.07 to 10 Ω
      1 (W) - Body ground* Always 100 kΩ or higher
      2 (V) - Body ground* Always 100 kΩ or higher
      3 (U) - Body ground* Always 100 kΩ or higher

      *: Touch the negative probe to the power steering link assembly housing at the position shown in the illustration to perform the measurement.

    3. Disconnect the torque sensor connector.
