sembly and the spiral cable.
CHECK:
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(b) For the connector (on the spiral cable side) between the
spiral cable and the steering wheel pad, measure the volt-
age between D+ and body ground.
OK:
Voltage: 0 V
NG Repair or replace spiral cable.
OK
6 Check harness between airbag sensor assembly and spiral cable.
CHECK:
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(b) For the connector (on the spiral cable side) between the
spiral cable and airbag sensor assembly, measure the
voltage between D+ and body ground.

sor assembly and spiral cable.
OK
From the results of the above inspection, the malfunctioning part can now be considered normal.
To make sure of this, use the simulation method to check. If the malfunctioning part can not be
detected by the simulation method, replace all SRS components including the wire harness.

NG Check harness between battery and airbag sen-
sor assembly, and check battery and charging
system.
OK
3 Does SRS warning light turn off?
PREPARATION:
(a) Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
(b) Connect the steering wheel pad connector.

blower, etc.) and check that SRS warning light goes off.
NO Check for DTCs. If a DTC is output, perform trou-
bleshooting for the DTC. If a normal code is out-
put, replace airbag sensor assembly.
YES
From the results of the above inspection, the malfunctioning part can now be considered normal.
To make sure of this, use the simulation method to check.

INSPECTION
1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
Vehicle height:
Tire sizeFront*1 mm (in.)Rear*2 mm (in.)
175/65R14191 (7.52)239 (9.41)
*1: Front measuring point
Measure the distance from the ground to the head center of the
front side lower suspension arm mounting bolt.
*
2: Rear measuring point
Measure the distance from the ground to the center of the rear
axle beam mounting bolt.
NOTICE:
Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle
height to the specified value.
If the vehicle height is not the specified value, try to adjust it by
pushing down on or lifting the body.
2. INSTALL CAMBER±CASTER±KINGPIN GAUGE OR
POSITION VEHICLE ON WHEEL ALIGNMENT TES-
TER
Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
3. INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS
INCLINATION
Camber, caster and steering axis inclination:
Camber
Right±left error±0°26' ± 45' (±0.43° ± 0.75°)
45' (0.75°) or less
Caster
Right±left error1°02' ± 45' (1.03° ± 0.75°)
45' (0.75°) or less
Steering axis inclination
Right±left error9°52' ± 45' (9.87° ± 0.75°)
45' (0.75°) or less
If the caster and steering axis inclination are not within the spe-
cified values, after the camber has been correctly adjusted, re-
check the suspension parts for damaged and/or worn out parts.
4. ADJUST CAMBER
NOTICE:
After the camber has been adjusted, inspect the toe±in.
(a) Remove the front wheel.
(b) Remove the 2 nuts on the lower side of the shock absorb-
er.
If reusing the bolts and/or nuts, coat the threads of nuts with en-
gine oil.
(c) Clean the installation surfaces of the shock absorber and
the steering knuckle.
(d) Temporarily install the 2 nuts.

If the toe±in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the rack
ends.
6. ADJUST TOE±IN
(a) Remove the rack boot set clips.
(b) Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
(c) Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to
adjust the toe±in.
HINT:
Try to adjust the toe±in to the center of the specified value.
(d) Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends
are the same.
Rack end length difference: 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or less
(e) Torque the tie rod end lock nuts.
Torque: 74 N´m (750 kgf´cm, 55 ft´lbf)
(f) Place the boots on the seats and install the clips.
HINT:
Make sure that the boots are not twisted.
7. INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE
Turn the steering wheel fully and measure the turning angle.
Wheel turning angle:
Inside wheel42°42' ± 2°
(42.70° ± 2°)
Outside wheel: Reference35°54' (35.90°)
If the right and left inside wheel angles differ from the specified

hicle with the drive shaft removed.
Therefore, if it is absolutely necessary to place the ve-
hicle weight on the hub bearing, first support it with
the SST.
