Checking Neutral Position on Steering Wheel
lMake sure that wheel alignment is correct.
Wheel alignment:
Refer to FA section (``Inspection and Adjustment'',
``SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS'').
lVerify that the steering gear is centered before removing the
steering wheel.
Checking
1. Check that the steering wheel is in the neutral position when
driving straight ahead.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remove the steering wheel
and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position is still not correct:
a. Loosen tie-rod lock nuts.
b. Move tie-rods, in opposite direction, the same amount on
both left and right sides.
This will compensate for error in the neutral position.
Checking Front Wheel Turning Angle
1. Rotate steering wheel fully right, then left; measure turning
angle.
Turning angle of full turns:
Refer to FA section (``Inspection and Adjustment'',
``SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS'').
2. If it is not within specification, check stopper bolt adjustment.
Refer to FA section (``FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE'',
``Front Wheel Alignment'').
Checking Hydraulic System (For power
steering)
Before starting, check belt tension, driving pulley and tire pressure.
1. Set Tool. Open shut-off valve. Then bleed air. Refer to
``Bleeding Hydraulic System'', ST-5.
2. Run engine at idle speed or 1,000 rpm.
lMake sure temperature of fluid in reservoir tank rises to
60 to 80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).
WARNING:
Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine
is started with shut-off valve closed, fluid pressure in power
steering pump increases to maximum. This will raise fluid
temperature abnormally.
3. Check pressure with steering wheel fully turned to left and
right positions while idling at 1,000 rpm.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel at full lock position for more
than 15 seconds.
Oil pump maximum pressure:
7,649 - 8,238 kPa (76.5 - 82.4 bar, 78 - 84 kg/cm
2,
1,109 - 1,194 psi) at idling

Tilt mechanism
After installing steering column, check tilt mechanism operation.
Inspection
lWhen steering wheel does not turn smoothly, check the
steering column as follows and replace damaged parts.
a. Check column bearings for damage or unevenness. Lubri-
cate with recommended multi-purpose grease or replace
steering column as an assembly, if necessary.
b. Check jacket tube for deformation or breakage. Replace if
necessary.
lWhen the vehicle is involved in a light collision, check dimen-
sion ``L''. If it is not within specifications, replace steering
column as an assembly.

CAUTION:
If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster
battery and jumper cables,
a. Use a 12-volt booster battery.
b. After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are
tightly clamped to battery terminals for good contact.
c. Never add distilled water through the hole used to check
specific gravity.
How to Handle Battery
METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGE
The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-dis-
charging a battery.
lThe battery surface (particularly its top) should always be
kept clean and dry.
lThe terminal connections should be clean and tight.
lAt every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as ``low mainte-
nance'' and ``maintenance-free''.
lWhen the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period
of time, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
lCheck the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity 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 touching a battery, do not
touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed
your hands. If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, immedi-
ately flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical atten-
tion.

Trouble Diagnoses
Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and
suitable test probes are necessary for the test. The alternator can be checked easily by referring to the
Inspection Table.
lBefore starting, inspect the fusible link.
lUse fully charged battery.
