Precautions for Steering DiagnosisS6RW0D6100001
Since the problems in steering involve several systems, they must all be considered when diagnosing a complaint. To
avoid using the wrong symptom, always road test the vehicle first. Proceed with the following preliminary inspection
and correct any defects which are found.
1) Inspect tires for proper pressure and uneven wear.
2) Raise vehicle on a hoist and inspect steering system for loose or damaged parts.
3) Spin front wheels. Inspect for out-of-round tires, out-of-balance tires, bent rims, loosen and/or rough wheel
bearings.

Steering Wheel Play CheckS6RW0D6304021
• Check steering wheel for looseness or rattle by
moving it in its shaft direction and lateral direction.
If found defective, repair or replace.
• Check steering wheel for play, holding vehicle in
straight forward condition on the ground with engine
stopped.
If steering wheel play is not within specification,
inspect as follows and replace if found defective.
– Tie-rod end ball stud for wear (Ball stud should
move when more than 0.2 N⋅m (2 kg-cm, 0.44 lb-ft)
torque is applied.)
– Lower ball joint for wear
– Steering shaft joint for wear
– Steering pinion or rack gear for wear or breakage
– Each part for looseness

referring to the tire placard.
3) Remove driver air bag (inflator) module referring to
“Driver Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and
Installation in Section 8B”.
4) Start engine.
5) With engine idling, measure steering force by turning
torque wrench.

WARNING!
Be sure to read “Precautions for Discharge
Headlight Service (If Equipped)” carefully
before working. Neglecting them may result
in personal injury.

Removal
1) Remove ballast referring to “Ballast Removal and
Installation (Discharge Headlight Model)”.
2) Remove cover (1) from headlight housing by turning
it counterclockwise.
3) Remove igniter (2) from discharge headlight bulb by
turning it counterclockwise.
4) After disconnecting ground wire (3), pull out igniter
(2) from headlight housing.Installation
Reverse removal procedure noting the following.
• Connect connectors securely.
• After installation, be sure to inspect and adjust aiming
referring to “Headlight Aiming Adjustment with
Screen”.
Headlight Aiming Adjustment with ScreenS6RW0D9206003
NOTE
• Unless otherwise obligated by local regulations, adjust headlight aiming according to the following
procedure.
• After replacing headlight housing, be sure to adjust aiming.
• When inspecting and adjusting headlight with leveling system, make sure to set the leveling switch
to “0” position with ignition switch turned ON.

1) Make sure the following items.
• Place vehicle on a flat surface in front of blank wall (screen) (1) ahead of headlight surface.
Distance “a”
10 m (32.8 ft.)
• Adjust air pressure of all tires to the specified value respectively.
• Bounce vehicle body up and down by hand to stabilize suspension.
• Carry out aiming with a driver aboard.

2) Check to see if hot spot (high intensity zone) of each low beam axis falls as shown in figure.
NOTE
If the headlights interfere each other and make it hard to see the cut line clearly, cover the headlight on
one side. This helps to make aiming adjustment easier.

Hot spot specification
Angle “b”: 0.75° (Specification)
Calculated distance “H”: Approx. 130 mm (5.15 in.)
3) Align headlight aiming to specification by adjusting aiming gear if it is not set properly.

Without initialization of the headlight auto leveling
system, it is not possible to obtain its proper function.
Also, if the headlight auto leveling system is not
initialized after replacing the headlight leveling control
module, the headlight leveling warning light in the
combination meter flashes.
1) Observe the following instructions.
• Park vehicle on level ground.
• Adjust air pressure of all tires to the specified
value respectively.
• Bounce vehicle body up and down by hand to
stabilize suspension.
2) Turn ignition switch to ON position.
3) Perform “Headlight Leveling Warning Light Check”.
4) Connect service wire (2) to terminals of diagnosis
connector (1).
5) Perform Steps a) through b) described blow within
20 seconds after Step 4).
a) Turn lighting switch (3) to “HEAD” position and
then turn lighting switch to OFF position.
b) Repeat Step a) 2 times.
6) Confirm that headlight leveling warning light flashes
3 times and turns off, which indicates that system
initialization was completed properly. If it does not
turn off after flashing 3 times, it means initialization
was not successful. In such case, turn off ignition
switch and perform Steps 1) to 6) again.Auto-On Headlight Sensor Inspection (If
Equipped)
