CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
• Turn steering wheel so that front wheels come to the straight-ahead position. Start engine and lightly turn
steering wheel to the left and right until front wheels start to move. Measure steering wheel movement on the
outer circumference.
• When the measurement value is outside the standard val ue, check backlash for each joint of steering col-
umn assembly and installation condition of steering gear assembly.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION STEERING WHEEL
• Make sure that steering gear assembly, steering colu mn assembly and steering wheel are installed in the
correct position.
• Perform neutral position inspection after wheel alignment. Refer to PS-2, " Precaution for Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BA
G" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" " .
• Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position and c onfirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.
• Loosen outer socket lock nut and turn inner socket to left and right equally to make fine adjustments if steer-
ing wheel is not in the neutral position.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has been turned 360 ° from neutral position using suitable tool as
shown.
4. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, refer to STC-6, " How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis " .
CHECKING FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE Steering wheel axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
Steering wheel play : 0 - 35 mm (0 - 1.38 in)
Steering wheel
turning force : Less than 36 N (3.7 kg-f, 8.2 lb-f)

• Check front wheel turning angle after toe-in inspection. Place front
wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands.
Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH
and RH road wheels.
• With the engine at idle, turn steering wheel from full left stop to full right stop and measure the turning angles.
• Measure rack stroke if angles are outside the specified value.
• Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that rack stroke is outside of the standard.
• Steering angles are not adjustabl e. Check steering gear assembly,
steering column assembly and front suspension components for
wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the
specified value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condi-
tion exists.
Removal and Installation INFOID:0000000004305932
REMOVAL NOTE:
When reconnecting spiral cable, secure cable with a tape so that case and rotating part keep aligned. This will
omit neutral position alignment procedure during spiral cable installation.
1. Set front wheels to straight-ahead position.
2. Remove driver air bag module. Refer to SRS-34 .
3. Remove steering wheel lock nut after steering is locked.
4. Remove steering wheel.
INSTALLATION Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the
″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of al l control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Rear Suspension INFOID:0000000004305875
• When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with the tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
• Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and l ubricants are at the full specification. The spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
• After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
• Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new caulking nuts for installation. New caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, do not apply any additional lubrication.

BATTERY
How to Handle Battery INFOID:0000000004306818
CAUTION:
• If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster battery and jumper cables, use a 12-volt
booster battery.
• After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are tightly clamped to battery terminals for good
contact.
• Never add distilled water through the hole used to check specific gravity.
METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGE The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharging
a battery.
• The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept clean and dry.
• The terminal connections should be clean and tight.
• At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level. This also applies to batteries designated as “low maintenance” and
“maintenance-free”.
• When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of time, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Check the charge condition of the battery. Periodically check the specific gr avity of the electrolyte. Keep a
close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.
CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVEL WARNING:
Do not allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes, fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touch-
ing a battery, do not touch or rub your eyes until yo u have thoroughly washed your hands. If acid con-
tacts eyes, skin or clothing, imme diately flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. MEL041F
