STEERING SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
Care must be taken to replace parts properly because they could affect the performance of the
steering system and result in a driving hazard.
The SEQUOIA is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as the driver air-
bag and front passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in the correct sequence
could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious
accident. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replace-
ment), be sure to read the notices precautionary in the RS section.
When disconnecting the battery terminal, initialize the following system after the terminal is re-
connected.
System NameSee Page
Back Door Power Window Control SystemBE±77
When replacing the steering angle sensor, drive the vehicle straight ahead at a speed of 6.5 mph
(10.5 km/h) or more. Accordingly, zero point calibration of the steering angle sensor is per-
formed.
After performing ºFront wheel alignment adjustmentº, clearing and reading the yaw rate & de-
celeration sensor zero point calibration data is necessary (See page DI±897).
