CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.
The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.
PROCEDURE
INSTALL POWER STEERING ECU ASSEMBLY
Install a new electric power steering motor shaft damper to the power steering ECU assembly.
Install a new electric power steering motor shaft spacer to the power steering ECU assembly.
Temporarily install the power steering ECU assembly to the electric power steering column sub-assembly with the 3 bolts.
Note
Do not tighten the bolts until the heads contact the surface of the power steering ECU assembly. Leave a small amount of clearance so that the power steering ECU assembly can be centered in a later procedure.
Remove the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly from the electric power steering column sub-assembly.
| *a | Cloth |
| *b | Steering Wheel Set Nut or equivalent |
Secure the electric power steering column sub-assembly in a vise between aluminum plates or pieces of cloth as shown in the illustration.
Note
Do not overtighten the vise as the electric power steering column sub-assembly may become deformed.
Secure the power steering ECU assembly so that it faces straight up.
Install the 2 nuts to the electric power steering column sub-assembly.
Tech Tips
The nuts to use are the steering wheel set nut or equivalents.
| Steering wheel set nut part No. | Thread diameter | Thread pitch |
|---|---|---|
| 09179-12071 | 12 mm (0.4724 in.) | 1.25 mm (0.0492 in.) |
Turn the steering main shaft by 180° to the left and right at a speed of 1 turn per second. Repeat these movements 2 to 3 times to center the power steering ECU assembly.
Tighten the 3 bolts.
Check the turning torque of the steering main shaft.
| Standard preload |
|---|
| 0.9 to 1.5 N*m (10 to 15 kgf*cm, 8 to 13 in.*lbf) |
Note
Make sure that the shaft turns smoothly.
Tech Tips
If the result is not as specified, center the power steering ECU assembly again.
Install the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly to the electric power steering column sub-assembly.
Connect the 2 connector clamps of a new ECU wire harness sub-assembly to the harness bracket.
Connect the 3 connectors to the power steering ECU assembly.
for LHD:
Install the 2 cable ties and heat resistant tape.
| *a | Cable Tie | *b | Heat Resistant Tape |
Note
As heat from the power steering motor assembly may generate smoke, use heat resistant tape (resistant to 100°C (212°F) or higher).
Install a new power steering ECU protector to the power steering ECU assembly.
INSTALL ELECTRIC POWER STEERING COLUMN SUB-ASSEMBLY
PERFORM TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION
PERFORM ASSIST MAP WRITING
