1. With the engine running (hydraulic operation), set the front wheels
straight ahead.
2. Slightly move the steering wheel in both directions, and measure the play
on the steering wheel circumference before the wheels start to move.
Limit: 30 mm (1.2 inch)
3. If the free play exceeds the limit, set the steering wheel straight ahead with
the engine stopped. Apply approximately 5 N (1.1 pound) to the steering
circumference and check the play.
Standard value (steering wheel play with engine stopped): 10 mm (0.4
inch) or less
Q: Does the play exceed the standard value?
YES: Remove the steering gear box (Refer to POWER STEERING
GEAR BOX AND LINKAGE
) and check the total pinion torque (Refer
to STEERING GEAR TOTAL PINION TORQUE CHECK
). Then go
to Step 3.
NO
: Go to Ste

YES: Repair or replace the part. Then go to Step 4.
NO: Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Retest the system.
Confirm that no noise is generated.
Q: Is there noise?
YES: Repeat from Step 1 .
NO: The procedure is complete.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 7: DRONING NOISE DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check the oil pump or oil pump bracket installation.
Q: Is the oil pump or the oil pump bracket installation correct?
YES: Go to Step 2.
NO: Repair it. Then go to Step 3 .
STEP 2. Check the oil pump for damage.
Q: Is there damage?
YES: Replace the oil pump. Then go to Step 3.
NO: Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Retest the system.
Confirm that no noise is generated.
Q: Is there noise?
NOTE: If a slight "beat noise" is produced by the oil pump when
the steering wheel is turned fully and held in that position,
this is normal.

NO: The procedure is complete.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 9: VIBRATION DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check the tires for out-of-balance.
Q: Is the check result OK?
YES: Go to Step 2.
NO: Balance the tires (Refer to WHEEL BALANCE ACCURACY
).
Then go to Step 4 .
STEP 2. Check the fluid level.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, and then start the engine.
2. Turn the steering wheel several times to raise the temperature of the fluid
to approximately 50 - 60°C (122 - 140°F).
3. With the engine running, turn the wheel all the way to the left and right
several times.
4. Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or milkiness. Check the
difference of the fluid level when the engine is stopped, and while it is
running.
Q: Is the check result OK?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Bleed the air (Refer to POWER STEERING SYSTEM AIR
BLEEDING
). Then go to Step 4 .
NOTE: A slight vibration may be felt when the stationary steering
effort is made due to the condition of the road surface. To
check whether the vibration actually exists or not, test-drive
the vehicle on a dry concrete or asphalt surface. A very
slight amount of vibration is not a malfunction.

STEERING WHEEL SENSOR
This sensor is mounted behind the column switch, and detects the steering
wheel position. The steering wheel sensor has a self-diagnosis function and a memory
function. If the diagnosis function finds a trouble, it sends a DTC code to the
TCL/ASC-ECU. Then the ECU will illuminate the TCL/ASC indicator light.
