Steering Angle Differs between Left and Right [08/2014 - ]: Procedure
- CHECK STEERING WHEEL POSITION
- 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
- 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.
- CHECK STEERING EFFORT
- Start the engine.
- Turn the steering wheel.
- 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
- CHECK WHEEL ALIGNMENT
- 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
