Steering Angle Differs between Left and Right [08/2014 - ]: Procedure

  1. CHECK STEERING WHEEL POSITION 
    1. Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock at a speed of approximately 90°/sec. Check the steering wheel angles between the left and right.
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      The steering wheel is off-center A
      The steering wheel is centered B

      HINT: 

      If turning the steering wheel quickly while driving at low speeds, the steering angle may differ between the left and right, or the steering wheel may become off-center. However, this is not a malfunction.

    B → VGRS SYSTEM IS NORMAL 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK STEERING EFFORT 
    1. Start the engine.
    2. Turn the steering wheel.
    3. Measure the steering effort.

      Standard steering effort

      Below 6.9 N*m (70 kgf*cm, 61 in.*lbf)

      HINT: 

      After completing the inspection or repair, attempt to simulate the problem and then read the Data List again to confirm that the problem does not occur.

    NG → See step   4 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK WHEEL ALIGNMENT 
    1. Check wheel alignment for the front. Refer to ADJUSTMENT [08/2014 - ] .

      OK

      The wheel alignment is normal.

      HINT: 

      Adjust the tie-rod ends within the specified values so that the tire angles are the same between the left and right when the steering wheel is turned from lock to lock.

    NG → See step   5 

    OK → PERFORM STEERING GEAR NEUTRAL POSITION CALIBRATION AND STEERING COLUMN NEUTRAL POSITION CALIBRATION 

  4. GO TO POWER STEERING SYSTEM (PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE). Refer to  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [08/2014 - ] 
  5. PERFORM WHEEL ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT. Refer to  ADJUSTMENT [08/2014 - ]
