Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Checking Steering Column for Accident
Damage
S7RS0B6204001
NOTE
Vehicles involved in accidents resulting in
body damage, where steering column has
been impacted or air bag deployed may have
a damaged or misaligned steering column.

Checking Procedure
NOTE
The steering column used in each vehicle is
one of the two types as shown.

1) Check that two capsules (1) are attached to steering column bracket securely. If found loose, replace
steering column assembly.
2) Take measurement “a”, “b” and “c” as shown. If it is shorter than spec ified length, replace steering
column assembly with new one.
Ty p e A
Power steering column length
“a”: 459 ± 2 mm (18.1 ± 0.08 in.)
“b”: 64.1 ± 1 mm (2.5 ± 0.03 in.)
“c”: 306.7 ± 1 mm (12.0 ± 0.03 in.)
Ty p e B
Power steering column length
“a”: 466 ± 2 mm (18.3 ± 0.08 in.)
“b”: 60.0 ± 1 mm (2.4 ± 0.03 in.)
“c”: 300.5 ± 1 mm (11.8 ± 0.03 in.) 3) Check steering shaft joints and shaft for any
damages such as crack, breakage, malfunction or
excessive play.
If anything is found faulty, replace as lower shaft
assembly or steering column assembly.
4) Check steering shaft for smooth rotation. If found defective, replace as steering column
assembly.
5) Check steering shaft and steering column for bend, cracks or deformation.
If found defective, replace.

Centering Contact Coil Cable AssemblyS7RS0B6206004
1) Check that vehicle’s wheels (front tires) are set at straight-ahead position.
2) Check that ignition swit ch is at LOCK position.
3) Turn contact coil counterclockwise slowly with a light force till contact coil will not turn any further.
NOTE
Contact coil can turn about 5 turns at the
maximum, that is, if it is at the center
position, can turn about two and a half turns
both clockwise and counterclockwise.

4) From the position where contact coil became unable to turn any further (it stopped), turn it back clockwise
about two and a half rotations and align center mark
with alignment mark (1).
Contact Coil Cable Assembly InspectionS7RS0B6206005
Refer to “Contact Coil Cable and Its Circuit Check in
Section 8B”.
Steering Angle Sensor Removal and InstallationS7RS0B6206011
Removal
1) Remove steering wheel and contact coil cable assembly. Refer to “Ste ering Wheel Removal and
Installation” and “Contact Coil Cable Assembly
Removal and Installation”.
2) Remove steering angle sensor (2) from contact coil cable assembly (3) while op ening fitting parts (1) of
contact coil cable assembly.
Installation 1) Install steering angle sensor (2) by fitting engagement parts (1) of contact coil cable assembly
to claws of steering angle sensor as shown in figure.
2) Install contact coil cable assembly and steering wheel. Refer to “Contact Coil Cable Assembly
Removal and Installation” and “Steering Wheel
Removal and Installation”.
Steering Angle Sensor InspectionS7RS0B6206012
Refer to “Steering Angle Sens or Inspection in Section
4F”.
