Steering General Diagnosis
Precautions
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.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Checking Steering Column for Accident
Damage
S6RW0D6204001
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.

• Check that two capsules (1) are attached to steering
column bracket securely. If found loose, replace
steering column assembly.
• Take measurement “a”, “b” and “c” as follows.
If it is shorter than specified length, replace steering
column assembly or steering lower shaft with new
one.
Steering column length
“a”: 339 ± 2 mm (13.3 ± 0.08 in.)
“b”: 59.5 ± 2.1 mm (2.4 ± 0.08 in.)
Steering lower shaft length
“c”: 348 ± 1 mm (13.7 ± 0.04 in.)• Check that there is no axial looseness “d” and no
axially-vertical looseness “e” for steering column
shaft.
If found defective, replace steering column assembly
with new one.
• 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.
• Check steering shaft for smooth rotation.
If found defective, replace as steering column
assembly.
• Check steering shaft and steering column for bend,
cracks or deformation.
If found defective, replace.

Steering Wheel Removal and InstallationS6RW0D6206002
CAUTION!
Do not turn the contact coil more than
allowable number of turns (about two and a
half turns from the center position clockwise
or counterclockwise respectively) with
steering wheel removed, or coil will break.

Removal
CAUTION!
Do not hammer the end of the shaft.
Hammering it will loosen the plastic shear
pins which maintain the column length and
impair the collapsible design of the column.

1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Disable air bag system referring to “Disabling Air
Bag System in Section 8B”.
3) Remove driver air bag (inflator) module from
steering wheel. Refer to “Driver Air Bag (Inflator)
Module Removal and Installation in Section 8B”.
4) Disconnect horn connector and audio control switch
connector, if equipped.
5) Remove steering shaft nut and then make alignment
marks (1) on steering wheel and shaft for a guide
during reinstallation.6) Remove steering wheel using special tool.
Special tool
(A): 09944–36011
InstallationCAUTION!
Following 2 Steps (Step 1) and 2)) are
prerequisite for installation of steering wheel.
If steering wheel has been installed without
these 2 Steps, contact coil will break when
steering wheel is turned.

1) Check that vehicle’s front tires are at straight-ahead
position and contact coil is centered. If contact coil is
turned after removing steering wheel, center contact
coil referring to “Centering Contact Coil Cable
Assembly”.
2) Install steering wheel to steering shaft with 2 grooves
(1) on contact coil fitted in 2 lugs (2) in the back of
steering wheel and also aligning marks (3) on
steering wheel and steering shaft.
3) Tighten steering shaft nut (4) to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Steering shaft nut (a): 33 N·m (3.3 kgf-m, 24.0 lb-
ft)

Contact Coil Cable Assembly Removal and
Installation
S6RW0D6206003
CAUTION!
Do not turn contact coil more than allowable
number of turns (about two and a half turns
from the center position clockwise or
counterclockwise respectively), or coil will
break.

Removal
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Disable air bag system referring to “Disabling Air
Bag System in Section 8B”.
3) Remove steering wheel from steering column
referring to “Steering Wheel Removal and
Installation”.
4) Remove steering column hole cover.
5) Remove steering column lower cover (2) and upper
cover (1).6) Remove contact coil cable assembly (1) from
steering column.
Installation
1) Check to make sure that vehicle’s front tires are set
at straight-ahead position and then ignition switch is
at LOCK position.
2) Install contact coil cable assembly to steering
column securely.
NOTE
New contact coil cable assembly is supplied
with contact coil set and held at its center
position with a lock pin (1). Remove this lock
pin after installing contact coil cable
assembly to steering column.

3) Install steering column upper cover (1) and lower
cover (2).
CAUTION!
When installing covers, be careful so that
each lead wire is not caught between covers.
Otherwise, each lead wire is damaged.

4) Install steering wheel to steering column. Refer to
“Steering Wheel Removal and Installation”.
5) Connect negative (–) cable to battery.

System in Section 8B”.
Centering Contact Coil Cable AssemblyS6RW0D6206004
1) Check that vehicle’s wheels (front tires) are set at
straight-ahead position.
2) Check that ignition switch 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 InspectionS6RW0D6206005
Refer to “Contact Coil Cable and Its Circuit Check in
Section 8B”.
Steering Column Removal and InstallationS6RW0D6206008
CAUTION!
Once the steering column is removed from
the vehicle, the column is extremely
susceptible to damage.
• Dropping the column assembly on its end
could collapse the steering shaft or loosen
the plastic shear pins which maintain
column length.
• Leaning on the column assembly could
cause it to bend or deform.
Any of the damage could impair the column’s
collapsible design.
Steering column mounting nuts should not
be loosened with steering shaft joint upper
side bolt tightened as this could cause
damage to shaft joint bearing.

NOTE
When servicing steering column or any
column-mounted component, remove
steering wheel. But when removing steering
column simply to gain access to instrument
panel components, leave steering wheel
installed on steering column.
