CHECKING STEERING COLUMN FOR
ACCIDENT DAMAGE
NOTE:
Vehicles involved in accidents resulting in body damage,
where steering column has been impacted, may have a dam-
aged or misaligned steering column.
CHECKING PROCEDURE
1) Check that two capsules are attached to steering column brack-
et securely. Check clearance between capsules and steering
column bracket. Clearance should be 0 mm (0 in.) on both sides.
If found loose or clearance, replace steering column assembly.
2) Check two plates for any damages such as crack or breakage.
If anything is found faulty, replace as steering column assembly.
3) Take measurement ªaº as shown. If it is shorter than specified
length, replace column assembly with new one.
Length ªaº: 895 0.8 mm (35.24 0.03 in.)
4) Check steering column lower seal for breakage or deformation.
If found defective, replace.
5) Check steering shaft joints and shaft for any damages such as
crack, breakage, malfunction or excessive play.
If anything is found faulty, replace as steering shaft lower assem-
bly or steering column assembly.
6) Check steering shaft for smooth rotation.
If found defective, replace as column assembly.
7) Check steering shaft and column for bend, cracks or deforma-
tion.
If found defective, replace as column assembly.

3F-6 WHEELS AND TIRES
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
WHEEL
REMOVAL
1) Loosen wheel nuts by approximately 180 (half a rotation).
2) Hoist vehicle.
3) Remove wheel.
NOTE:
Never use heat to loosen tight wheel because application of
heat to wheel can shorten life of wheel and damage wheel
bearings.
INSTALLATION
Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence and to proper torque to
avoid bending wheel or brake drum or disc as in figure.
NOTE:
Before installing wheels, remove any build-up of corrosion on
wheel mounting surface and brake drum or disc mounting sur-
face by scraping and wire brushing. Installing wheels without
good metal-to-metal contact at mounting surfaces can cause
wheel nuts to loosen, which can later allow wheel to come off
while vehicle is moving.

TABLE ± A ªABSº WARNING LAMP CIRCUIT CHECK ± LAMP DOES NOT
COME ªONº AT IGNITION SWITCH ON
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Operation (ON / OFF) of the ªABSº warning lamp is controlled by the ABS control module and ABS lamp driver mod-
ule.
If the Antilock brake system is in good condition, the ABS control module turns the ªABSº warning lamp ON at the
ignition switch ON, keeps it ON for 2 seconds only and then turns it OFF. If an abnormality in the system is detected,
the lamp is turned ON by ABS control module. Also, it is turned ON by ABS lamp driver module when the connector
of the ABS control module was disconnected.
