Buzz (E
lectrical)
A
different steering buzz can be caused by
pulse width modulated (PWM) electric actuators used in variable assist steering
systems. This buzz is felt by turning the ignition key to run without starting the engine and holding onto the steering wheel.
In extreme cases, the buzz can be felt with the engine running also.
Column/Steering Wheel
Shake
Column shake is a low f
requenc
y vertical vibration excited by primary engine vibrations.
Nibble (Shimm
y)
Steeri
ng nibble is a rotary oscillation or
vibration of the steering wheel, which can be excited at a specific vehicle speed.
Nibble is driven by wheel and tire imbalance exciting a suspensi on recession mode, which then translates into steering gear
travel and finally steering wheel nibble.
Shudder (Judd
er)
Shudder i
s a low frequency oscillation of th
e entire steering system (tire, wheels, st eering gear and linkage, etc.) when the
vehicle is steered during static-park or at low sp eeds. Shudder is very dependent on road surface.
Torque Ri
pple
Torque rippl
e is a concern with Electric Power Steering (EPS) sy
stems. Torque ripple is most evident at static-park steering
the wheel very slowly from lock to lock. Torque ripple is primarily caused by motor commutation.
Torque/Veloc
ity Variation
(Phasing/Effort Cycling)
Steeri
ng wheel torque variation oc
curring twice in one revolution is normally as a result of problems with the lower steering
column (intermediate shaft), but foul cond itions generally result in either constant stiffnes s or single point stiffness.
Depending upon the orientation of the joints, the steering can fe el asymmetric (torque falling off in one direction and rising
in the other) or else it can simply have pronounced peaks and troughs as the steering moves from lock to lock.
Wheel Fight
(Kick Back)
W
heel fight is excess feedback of sudden road forces through th
e steering system and back to the driver. It is evaluated at
all vehicle speeds over cobblestones, rough roads, and potholes . The tires, wheels, and suspension generate forces into the
steering systems. Steering friction, hydraulic damping, hydr aulic compliance, mechanical compliance, steering ratio, and
assist gain all affect how much is transmitted to the driver.
Stee
ring Linkage
CAUTI
ON: Steering gear boots must be
handled carefully to avoid damage. Use new clamps when installing steering
gear boots.
Inspect the boots for cuts, deterioration, tw isting or distortion. Check the steering gear boots to make sure they are tight.
Install new boots or clamps as necessary.
• NOTE: The following steps must be carried out with assistance.
1. 1. With the wheels in the straight ahead po sition, gently turn the steering wheel to the left and the right to check for
free play.
2. 2. Free play should be between 0 and 6 mm (0 and 0.24 in) at the steering wheel rim. If the free play exceeds this
limit, either the ball joints are worn, the lower steering column joints are worn or the backlash of the steering gear
is excessive.

modul
e. This regulates the fluid flow
through the hydraulic control valve, wh ich determines the amount of steering
assistance.
Steering Control Module
The steering control
module re
ceives the vehicle speed from the instrument cluster and outputs the corresponding current
values to the Servot ronic valve. At parking speeds, wh en maximum assistance is required , the current is at its maximum
value of 854 mA and the valve is closed. As the vehicle speed increases, the current progressively decreases to its minimum
value of 15 mA and the valve opens in sma ll increments. This results in an increasing amount of hydraulic pressure being
applied to the reaction piston, making the steering feel more precise and responsive.
The rate of progression and shape of the characteristic between parking and high speed operation, is determined by the
algorithm within the steering control module, and is matched to each suspension variant within the vehicle range.

Description an
d Operation
Ig

nition Switch
The k
ey-operated ignition switch is located on the right-hand side of the steering colu
mn and has four positions.
Position 'O'

OFF. The only position in which the key can be inserted or re moved. With the key removed, the steering lock engages. The
key can only be removed when the tran smission is in the Park position.
Position 'I'

AUXILIARY. Certain circuits , i.e. radio and windows, can be operat ed without switching on the ignition.
Position 'II'

IGNITION.
All circuits, except the star
ter motor, are activated. The key rema ins in this position when driving.
Position 'III'

START. The starter operates for as long as the key is held in this position, ag ainst spring pressure. If the engine fails to
start, the key must be returned to position 'I' befo re another start is attempted.
Lighting Switch

The li
ghting switch is on the left-h
and side of the steering column and controls the following functions.
Direction Indicators

The direction in
dicators:
Operate
when the ignition switch is in position II.
Are operat
ed by movi
ng the switch stalk up or down until it latches in position, to in
dicate a right or left turn
respectively.
Can be o p
erated while the switch stalk is held against
spring pressure before reaching the latch position.
Cancel
automatically upon completion of a turn, the
column switch returning to the center position.
An audible ticking and a flashing green warning lamp on the in strument cluster indicate that the direction indicators are
