Steering Angle Check

CAUTION: On vehicles with ASC, if the steering angle is adjusted, always carry out steering wheel sensor calibration (Refer to STEERING WHEEL SENSOR CALIBRATION ). This is necessary because the TCL/ASC-ECU should update the steering neutral point.

Check that the wheel alignment is normal (Refer to WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT ).

Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge and measure the steering angle.

Standard value:

STANDARD VALUE SPECIFICATION

If not within the standard value, adjust the tie-rods (right and left), and repeat Steps 1 and 2.
If the measured value exceeds the standard range by performing Step 3, replace the steering gear and linkage assembly (Refer to POWER STEERING GEAR BOX AND LINKAGE ).
