sembly side) between the center airbag sensor as-
sembly and front passenger airbag assembly mea-
sure the resistance between P

page RS±47)
(3) turn ignition switch to LOCK, and wait at
least 20 seconds.

least 20 seconds.
(5) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E
1 of DLC1
or DLC2.

(6) Check diagnostic trouble code.
Diagnostic trouble code 54 is not output.
Codes other than code 54 may be output at this
time, but they are not relevant to this check.
Replace center airbag sensor assembly.

(b) Check the tire runout.
Tire runout:
Less than 1.4 mm (0.055 in.)
2. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE
(a) Check and adjust the Off±the±car balance.
(b) If necessary, check and adjust the On±the±car balance.
Unbalance after adjustment:
5.0 g (0.011 lb) or less
3. CHECK WHEEL BEARING LOOSENESS
(a) Check the backlash in bearing shaft direction.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
(b) Check the axle hub deviation.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
4. CHECK FRONT SUSPENSION FOR LOOSENESS
5. CHECK STEERING LINKAGE FOR LOOSENESS
6. CHECK BALL JOINT FOR LOOSENESS
7. CHECK SHOCK ABSORBER WORK PROPERLY

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
Front vehicle height
Engine Tire size Height
2JZ±GE 225/50ZR16 185 mm (7.28 in.)
2JZ±GTE 235/45ZR17 187 mm (7.36 in.)
Measuring point:
Measure from the ground to the center of the lower suspen-
sion arm front mounting bolt.
NOTICE: Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust
the vehicle height to specification.
If the vehicle height is not to specification, try to adjust it by
pushing down on or lifting the body.
2. INSTALL CAMBER±CASTER±KINGPIN GAUGE OR

REMOVAL
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
INSTALLATION HINT: After installation, check ABS speed
sensor signal and front wheel alignment.
(See page BR±62 and SA±4)
1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
Torque: 103 NVm (1,050 kgfVcm, 96 ftVlbf)
2. REMOVE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER AND DISC

knuckle.
Torque: 118 NVm (1,200 kgfVcm, 87 ftVlbf)
(b) Support the brake caliper securely.
(c) Place matchmarks on the disc and axle hub.
(d) Remove the disc.
3. CHECK BACKLASH IN BEARING SHAFT DIRECTION
Place the dial indicator near the center of the axle hub and
check the backlash in the bearing shaft direction.
Maximum:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If greater than the specified maximum, replace the bearing.
4. CHECK AXLE HUB DEVIATION
Using a dial indicator, check the deviation at the surface of
the axle hub outside the hub bolt.
Maximum:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If greater than the specified maximum, replace the axle hub.
5. DISCONNECT ABS SPEED SENSOR FROM STEERING
KNUCKLE
Remove the bolt and disconnect the sensor from the steering
knuckle.
