ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
POWER STEERING37-16
WARNING
•If the vehicle continues to be driven after
the collision absorbing mechanism has
operated, the steering column shaft may
be damaged while it is in use.
•If there is a slack in the one-way capsule,
do not attempt to repair it but replace the
steering column shaft assembly.
Inspection Procedure
1. Remove the lower and upper column covers.
CAUTION
Do not release the tilt lever until the steering
column has been installed to complete this
inspection procedure.
2. Ensure that the tilt lever is in the lock position.
NOTE: If not, place the tilt lever in the lock
position.
3. Loosen the two steering column mounting bolts
(upper) by two turns.4. Hold the one-way capsules as shown, and then
try to lock them. If there is a slack in either of the
capsules, replace the steering column shaft
assembly.
NOTE: When installing a new steering column
shaft assembly, place the tilt lever in the lock
position, if it is not in place.
CAUTION
•Be careful that nothing is pinched between
the one-way capsules and the body.
•Do not release the tilt lever until the steering
column has been installed to complete this
inspection procedure.
5. If no problem is found during the inspection,
tighten the steering column mounting bolts to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque: 12 ± 2 N⋅m

WARNING
Before removing the steering wheel and air bag module assembly, refer to GROUP 52B,
Service Precautions (P.52B-5) and Air Bag Module and Clock Spring (P.52B-210).

ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
CAUTION
The tilt lever should be held in the lock position
until the steering column shaft is installed to the
vehicle. If the steering column is removed with
the tilt lever released, or the tilt lever is released
after the steering column shaft was removed from the vehicle, the steering column can not be
reinstalled correctly. If the steering column is
installed incorrectly, the collision energy
absorbing mechanism may be damaged.
1. Ensure that the tilt lever is in the lock position, and
remove the steering column mounting bolts.

ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
CAUTION
•When reusing the steering column, do not
release the tilt lever until the steering column
shaft has been installed.•When the steering column is replaced, do not
release the tilt lever until it has been installed.
Do not remove the tilt lever fixing band until
the installation has completed.
•When installing the steering column, do not
leave it fixed temporarily at only one point
and make sure the column shaft is not shaken
strongly. If you fail to do, the collision
absorbing mechanism at the column shaft
mounting location may be damaged.
Ensure that the tilt lever is in the lock position, and
install the steering column. Tighten the four bolts in
the order shown by hand, and then tighten them to
the specified torque in the order shown.

2. The inner side of the windshield is curved,
therefore, make a point to assemble the glass
stopper and windshield spacer without any lifting
and assemble in the position shown in the Figure
of the instructions.
3. Install the windshield moulding.
>>B< 1. When replacing the windshield, temporarily set
the windshield against the body, and place a
mating mark on the windshield and body.
CAUTION
•The primer strengthens the adhesive, so be
sure to apply it evenly around the entire
circumference. However, a too thick
application will weaken the adhesive.
•Do not touch the coated surface.
•Do not apply the primer on the remaining
adhesive because of weakening the adhesive.
2. Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to
the windshield in the specified places. If the
adhesive does not remain on the body flange
surface because of the panel replacement on the
body side, apply evenly to the body side in the
specified places.
3. Allow the windshield to dry for at least three
minutes after applying primer.4. Fill a sealant gun with adhesive. Then apply the
adhesive evenly around the windshield within 30
minutes after applying the primer.
NOTE: Cut the tip of the sealant gun nozzle into a
V shape to simplify adhesive application.
5. Align the mating marks on the windshield and the
body, and lightly press the windshield evenly so
that it adheres completely.
6. Use a spatula or similar tool to remove any
excessive adhesive. Clean the surface with
isopropyl alcohol. Avoid moving the vehicle until
the adhesive sets.
7. Bond the windshield to the body, and install the
roof drip moulding quickly before the adhesive
cures. (Refer to GROUP51, Moulding P.51-10.)
CAUTION
•Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely
necessary.
•When testing for water leakage, do not pinch
the end of the hose to spray the water.
8. Wait 30 minutes or more, and then test for water
leakage.

AIR THERMO SENSOR INSPECTION
Measure the resistance between connector terminals
4 and 5 under at least two different temperatures.
The resistance values should generally match those
in the graph.
