Inspection and Adjustment
S7RS0B5106015
1) Shift manual select lever (4) to “N” range.
2) Check that needle direction shaped on lock washer (2) and “N” reference line (1) on transmission range
sensor are aligned. If not, loosen sensor bolts (3)
and align them.
Tightening torque
Transmission range sensor bolt (a): 5.5 N·m (
0.55 kgf-m, 4.0 lb-ft)
3) Check that engine starts in “N” and “P” ranges but it doesn’t start in “D”, “2”, “L” or “R” range. Also, check

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.

2) Install steering column assembly to lower and upper brackets. Tighten steering column lower nuts (1) first
and then upper nuts (2) to specifications as given
below.
Tightening torque
Steering column nut (a): 14 N·m (1.4 kgf-m, 10.5
lb-ft)
NOTE
After installing tilt steering column, make
sure that steering column moves backwards
and forwards smoothly and stops when tilt
lever is fixed.

3) Align flat part “A” of stee ring lower shaft (1) with bolt
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”.

• 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

Steering Force CheckS7RS0B6304025
1) Place vehicle on level road and set steering wheel at
straight-ahead position.
2) Check if tire inflation pressure is as specified 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.
Steering force
: Less than 6.4 N ⋅m (0.64 kgf-m, 4.6 lb-ft)
6) Install driver air bag (inflator) module referring to “Driver Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and
Installation in Section 8B”.
