1Was “SYSTEM CHECK FLOW TABLE” per-
formed?Go to STEP 2. Go to “SYSTEM CHECK
FLOW TABLE”.
2 1) Recheck DTC with engine running.
Is DTC C1122 (DTC No.22) indicated?Go to STEP 3. It is nothing abnormal for
DTC C1122 (DTC No.22).
P/S system is in normal
condition.
3 1) Check proper connection to P/S control mod-
ule and ECM at each “BRN” wire terminal (P/
S control module side: “G24-6” terminal, ECM
side : Refer to in SECTION 6E), then check
intermittent trouble. Refer to “INTERMITTENT
TROUBLE” in SECTION 0A.
2) If they are OK, check high resistance, open or
short to power circuit or ground in “BRN” wire
circuit.
Is check result in good condition?Substitute a known-
good P/S control mod-
ule and recheck.Repair.

STEERING WHEEL PLAY INSPECTION
Check steering wheel for looseness or rattle by trying to move it in
its shaft direction and lateral direction.
If found defective, repair or replace.
Check steering wheel play, holding vehicle in straight forward con-
dition on the ground and with engine stopped.
If steering wheel play is not within specification, inspect as follows
and replace if found defective.
Tie rod end ball stud for wear
Lower ball joint for wear
Steering shaft joint for wear
Steering pinion or rack gear for wear or breakage
Each part for looseness
Steering wheel play
“a”: 0 - 30 mm (0 - 1.2 in.)
STEERING FORCE INSPECTION
1) Place vehicle on level road and set steering wheel at
straight-ahead position.
2) Check that tire inflation pressure is as specified. (Refer to
“TIRE PLACARD” on vehicle.)
3) Remove driver air bag (inflator) module referring to DRIVER
AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE in Section 3C.
4) Start engine.
5) With engine idling, measure steering force by turning torque
wrench.
Steering force
: Less than 6.4 N·m (0.64 kg·m, 4.6 lb-ft)
6) Install drive air bag (inflator) module referring to DRIVER AIR
BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE in Section 3C.
