Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral PositionINFOID:0000000005928506
After removing/installing or replacing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), steering angle sensor, steer-
ing and suspension components which affect wheel alignment or after adjusting wheel alignment, be sure to
adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor before running vehicle.
NOTE:
Adjustment of steering angle sensor neutral position requires CONSULT-III.
1. Stop vehicle with front wheels in straight-ahead position.
2. Connect CONSULT-III to data link connector on vehicle, and turn ignition switch ON (do not start engine).
3. Touch “ABS”, “WORK SUPPORT” and “ST ANGLE SENSOR ADJUSTMENT” on CONSULT-III screen in
this order.
4. Touch “START”. CAUTION:
Do not touch steering wheel whil e adjusting steering angle sensor.
5. After approximately 10 seconds, touch “END”. (After approximately 60 seconds, it ends automatically.)
6. Turn ignition switch OFF, then turn it ON again.
7. Run vehicle with front wheels in straight-ahead position, then stop.
8. Select “DATA MONITOR”, “SELECTION FROM MENU”, and “STR ANGLE SIG” on CONSULT-III screen.
Then check that “STR ANGLE SIG” is within 0 ±2.5 deg. If value is more than specification, repeat steps 1
to 5.
9. Erase memory of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) and ECM.
10. Turn ignition switch to OFF.

3. Put alignment marks on disc rotor and wheel hub and bearing assembly, then remove disc rotor.
4. Remove wheel sensor from steering knuckle. Refer to BRC-33, "
Removal and Installation".
CAUTION:
Do not pull on wheel sensor harness.
5. Loosen steering outer socket (1) nut.
6. Remove steering outer socket (1) from steering knuckle (2) so as not to damage ball joint (3) boot using Tool.
CAUTION:
Temporarily leave the outer socket nut installed to prevent
damage to threads and to prevent the ball joint remover or
suitable tool from suddenly coming off.
7. Remove transverse link ball joint nut and bolt. Then, remove transverse link from steering knuckle.
8. Remove cotter pin, then loosen hub lock nut using power tool. CAUTION:
Temporarily leave the hub lock nut inst alled to prevent damage to threads.
9. Separate the drive shaft from the wheel hub and bearing assem- bly by lightly tapping the end of the drive shaft using a hammer
or suitable tool, and then remove hub lock nut.
NOTE:
Use a suitable puller if wheel hub and bearing assembly and
drive shaft cannot be separated after performing the above pro-
cedure.
10. Remove the drive shaft from the wheel hub and bearing assem- bly and support the drive shaft.
CAUTION:
• Do not apply an excessive angle to drive shaft joint when
removing from the wheel hub and bearing assembly,
• Do not excessively extend slide joint.

Component".
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Wheel Hub and Knuckle Inspection
Check for any deformity, cracks, or other damage on the wheel hub assembly and knuckle, replace if neces-
sary.
CAUTION:
The wheel hub assembly does not require maintenance. If any of the following symptoms are noted,
replace the wheel hub assembly.
• Growling noise is emitted from the wheel hub bearing during operation.
• Wheel hub bearing drags or turns roughly.
Ball Joint Inspection
Check boots of transverse link and steering outer socket ball joint for breakage, axial play, and torque. Refer to
FSU-15, "
Removal and Installation" transverse link and PS-15, "Disassembly and Assembly" steering outer
socket ball joint.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. Note the following:
• Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing wheel hub and bearing assembly and steering knuckl e. Check the wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "
Wheel
Alignment Inspection".
• When installing disc rotor on wheel hub and bearing assembly,
align the marks.
(When not using the alignment mark, refer to BR-31, "
Disassembly
and Assembly of Brake Caliper Assembly").

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000005930893
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield.
General PrecautionsINFOID:0000000005930894
• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening mu st be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and l ubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
• After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
• Self-lock nuts are not reusable. A lways use new ones when installing.
