2. Select “ADAPTIVE LIGHT” on CONSULT-II. Select “ACTIVE
TEST” on “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen.
3. Select “LOW BEAM TEST RIGHT” or “LOW BEAM TEST LEFT”
on “SELECT TEST ITEM” screen.
4. Touch “ORIGIN–FAST/SLOW” and “PEAK–FAST/SLOW”
screen.
5. Make sure of swivel operation.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >>
When interference or poor fitment is found, perform aiming adjustment. Refer to LT- 7 4 , "Aiming
Adjustment" . If it is normal, replace headlamp. Refer to LT- 1 9 0 , "Removal and Installation of
Front Combination Lamp" .
When the operation range is irregular, perform aiming adjustment. Refer to LT- 7 4 , "Aiming
Adjustment" . If it is normal, GO TO 3.
2. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
Check “STR ANGLE SIG” in “Data Monitor” when driving straight
and steering turn 90
to right or left.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >>
When steering is out of range while driving straight, perform steering angle sensor adjustment.
Refer to BRC-6, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" in “ON-VEHICLE
SERVICE”.
When the function is normal while driving straight but the displayed value is different from
actual steering position with turning to right or left, replace steering angle sensor. Refer to LT-
190, "Removal and Installation of Steering Angle Sensor" .

Set bolts in the two bolt holes [M6 pitch 1.0 mm (0.04 in)] on
the front surface. Using suitable puller, pull oil pump drive
spacer off from crankshaft.
NOTE:
The dimension between the centers of the two bolt holes is 33
mm (1.30 in).
In the figure, a commercial steering puller is used.

INSTALLATION
1. Install the oil pump.
2. Install oil pump drive spacer as follows:
a. Insert oil pump drive spacer according to the directions of crank-
shaft key and the two flat surfaces of oil pump inner rotor.
If the positional relationship does not allow the insertion,
rotate oil pump inner rotor with a finger to allow spacer.
b. After confirming that the position of each part is in correct condi-
tion to allow for spacer, force fit spacer by lightly tapping with
plastic hammer until it contacts and does not go further.
