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.

hole “B” of shaft joint (2) of column as shown. Then
insert lower shaft into shaf t joint of steering column
with matching marks (4).
4) Insert lower shaft (1) into pinion shaft (3) with matching marks (4).
5) Tighten joint bolt (pinion shaft side) (6) to specified torque first and then joint bolt (steering column side)
(5) to specified torque.
CAUTION!
After tightening column nuts, tighten steering
shaft upper joint bolt. Otherwise shaft joint
bearing is damaged.

Tightening torque
Steering shaft joint bolt (a): 25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m,
18.5 lb-ft) 6) Install steering joint cover.
7) Install immobilizer cont
rol module from steering
column, referring to “Immo bilizer Control Module
(ICM) Removal and Installation in Section 10C”.
8) Install lighting switch and wiper switch to steering column.
9) Install contact coil cable assembly and steering wheel referring to “Conta ct Coil Cable Assembly
Removal and Installation” and “Steering Wheel
Removal and Installation”.
10) Install steering column hole cover. 11) Connect negative (–) battery to cable.
12) Enable air bag system refe rring to “Enabling Air Bag
System in Section 8B”.
