Troubleshooting
Noise and Vibration
NOTE: Pump noise in first 2 - 3 minutes after starting in cold weather is normal.
Humming
Rattle or chattering
Humming due to pulsation of fluid is normal, particularly when the wheel isturned with the vehicle stooDed.
lf equipped with automatic trans-mission, the hum could be thetorque converter or pump noase.
Confirm by temporarily removingthe pump belt.
Feed hose (high-pressure) touch-ing the frame.Beposition the feed hose.
Loose steering shaft connector,tie-rod, or balljoint.Check and tighten, or replaceparts as necessary,
Column shaft wobbling.Roplace the column assembly.
Check the rack guide for properadjustment (see page 17-15).Adjust, if necessary.
Rattling sound and feeling when turning the steering wheel right and left with th€engine OFF is normal.
Pump noise, though not loud, from the valve body unit can be heard when turn-ing the steering wheel to full lock in either direction. This is normal. Do not holdthe steering wheel at full lock lor more than five seconds when inspecting.

Troubleshooting
Fluid Leaks
Check the gearbox assembly for oil leaks carefully. Oil can leak out ot various points, depending on location of the faulty
oil seals/seal rings. Check the following before removing the gearbox from the frame.
Steering GearboxLeaking from the oil seal on thetop of the valve housing.Replace the valve oil seal fromthe valve housing.
Leaking from cylinder end intoleft tie rod boot.Replace the valve oil seal fromthe pinion shaft.
Replace the cylinder end seal onthe valve body unit side.
Leaking from cylinder end intoright tie-rod boot.Replace the cylinder end seal onthe cylinder end side.
Leaking lrom the shaft upper endsection or pin engagement sec-tion of the pinion shaft.Replace the valve body unit.
Tighten the connector. It it's stillleaking, replace the line, cylinderor valve housing.
Leaking from cylinder line A or Bconnections (at tlare nut).
Leaking caused by a damagedcylinder line A or B.Replace cylinder line A or B.
Leaking from pump outlet hoseand return line joint fitting on thevalve body unit {at tlare nut}.
Tighten the connector. ll it's stillleaking, replace the line, joint fit-ting or valve housing,

Steering Wheel
Removal
SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section (24) before performing repairs or ser-
vice.
1. Align the front wheels straight ahead. then remove
the driver's airbag assembly (see section 24) from
the steering wheel.
2. Disconnect the horn connector and cruise control
switch connectors.
CONTROLSWITCHES CONNECTOR
3. Loosen the steering wheel bolt, then install a steering
wheel puller on the steering wheel and remove it.
Note these items when removing the steering wheel:
. Do not tap on the steering wheel or the steering
column shaft when removing the steering wheel.
. lf you thread the puller bolts into the wheel hub
more than five threads, the bolts will hit the cable
reel and damage it. To prevent this, install a pair
of jam nuts five threads up on each puller bolt.

lnstallation
1. Before installing the steering wheel, make sure the
front wheels are aligned straight ahead, then center
the cable reel. Do this by first rotating the cable reel
clockwise until it stops. Then rotate it counterclock-
wise approximately two turns. The arrow mark on
the cable reel label should point straight up.

2. Install the steering wheel on to the steering column
shaft, making sure the steering wheel shaft engages
the cable reel and canceling sleeve. Do not tap on
the steering wheel or steering column shatt when
instailing the steering wheel
HOLE
Install the steering wheel bolt, and tighten it to 39
N.m (4.0 kgf.m, 29 lbf.ft).
Connect the horn connector and the cruise control
switch connectors,
Install the driver's airbag assembly, and confirm
proper system operation (see section 24).

8. Installation is the reverse ofthe removal procedure.
Note these items during installation:
. Be sure the wires are not caught or pinched by
any parts when installing the column.
a Make sure the wire harness is routed and fas-
tened properly.
. Make sure the connectors are properly connected.
. Make sure the steering joint is connected as fol-
lows:
a. lnsert the uDper end of the steering joint onto
the steering shaft (line up the bolt hole with
the flat ot the shaft).
b. Slip the lower end of the steering ioint onto
the Dinion shaft (lins up the bolt hole with the
groove around the shaft). and installthe lower
ioint bolt. Be sure that the lower joint bolt is
securely in the groove in the pinion shaft'
c. Pull on the steering joint to make sure that the
steering joint is JullY seated.
Then install the upper joint bolt and tighten it.

1. Disconnect the brake switch connector, loosen the
brake switch locknut, and back off the brake switch
until it is no longer touching the brake pedal.
2. Lift up the carpet, At the insulator cutout, measure
the pedal height from the middle of the right side of
the oedal pad.

Standard Pedal Height (with floor m8i removed):
A/T: 161 mm (5 5/16 in)
M/T: 155 mm {6 U8 in}
Loosen the pushrod locknut, and screw the pushrod
in or out with pliers until the standard pedal height
from the floor is reached. Do not adjust the pedal
height with the pushrod pressed. After adiustment,
tighten the locknut firmly.

the brake lights 90 off when the pedal is released
5. Checkthe brake pedalfree play as described below
Pedal Free Play
1. With the engine off. inspect the free play on the
pedal pad by pushing the pedal by hand-
Free Play: 1 - 5 mm (1/16 - 3/16 in)
2. lf the pedal free play is out of specification, adiust
the brake switch. lf the pedal free play is insuffi-
cient, it may result in brake drag.
