POWER STEERING ASSIST CHECK
Check
1. Power Steering Assist - Check
NOTE: This test should be done with original equipment tires and wheels at
the
correct tire pressure.
- Start the engine, and let it idle
- Attach a commercially available spring scale (A) to the steering wheel.
With the
engine idling and the vehicle on a clean, dry floor, pull the scale as
shown, and read it
as soon as the tires begin to turn.
Initial turning load: 29 N (3.0 kgf, 6.5 lbf) max.
- If the scale reads no more than the specification, the power assist is
OK. If it reads more, check these
items:
- Steering linkage
- Rack guide adjustment
- EPS system
- Wheel alignment
STEERING WHEEL ROTATIONAL PLAY CHECK
Check
1. Steering Wheel Rotational Play - Check
- Set the front wheels in the straight ahead position
- Measure how far you can turn the steering wheel left and right without
moving
the front wheels.
- If the play is within the limit, the steering gearbox and the
steering linkage
are OK.
- If the play exceeds the limit, adjust the rack guide. If the play is
still
excessive after rack guide adjustment, inspect the steering linkage and
the
steering gearbox.
Rotational play: 0-10 mm (0-0.39 in)
