NOTE:
Self tapping bolts are used to attach cables to the clutch housing.
• Securely assemble each cable and lever of control shaft.
• Be careful about the installation direction, and push control lever knob onto control lever.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse control lever knob.
• Make sure that the front/rear claws (1) of control device assembly are in contact with flange of the floor (2).
• When control lever is selected to 1st-2nd side and 5th-6th side,
confirm control lever returns to neutral position smoothly.
• When control lever is shifted to each position, make sure there is
no binding or disconnection in each boot.
• Move stopper (1) to lock position when installing the shift cable onto the shift lever. SCIA7630E

Disassembly and Assembly INFOID:0000000004305935
COMPONENT (R24K TYPE)
CAUTION:
Clean steering gear assembly with kerosene before disassembling.
DISASSEMBLY 1. Loosen outer socket lock nut, and then re move outer socket from inner socket.
2. Remove boot clamp, and then re move boot from inner socket.
CAUTION:
Do not damage inner socket an d gear housing assembly when re moving boot. Inner socket and
gear housing assembly must be replaced if inne r socket and gear housing assembly are damaged
because it may allow fore ign material to enter.
3. Remove inner socket from rack assembly while holdi ng the flat portion of the rack next to the inner socket
using a suitable tool.

1. Apply recommended grease to teeth part and bush part of rack assembly, if necessary.
2. Apply recommended grease to back of rack assembly, if necessary.
3. Install inner socket to rack assembly. Torque to specified value while holding the flat portion of the rack next to the inner socket using a suitable tool.
4. Apply recommended grease to inner socket.
5. Decide on the neutral position for the rack assembly.
6. Apply recommended grease to around retainer (3), then install retainer (3), spring (4) and adjusting screw (1) to gear housing
assembly (5).
7. Apply recommended thread locking sealant to the thread (2 turns thread), and then screw in the adjusting screw (1) until it
reaches height “H” from gear housing assembly (5) measured
before disassembling.
8. Tighten lock nut to (2) the specified torque securing it to prevent adjusting screw (1) from freewheeling condition.
9. Move rack assembly 10 strokes throughout the full stroke so that the parts can fit with each other.
10. Using Tools A and B, measure rotating torque of pinion assem- bly. If the measurement is outside of the specified range, read-
just pinion rotating torque. If the measurement is outside of the
specified range for readjust, replace steering gear assembly.
11. Set dial gauge to the back of rack assembly on the pinion assembly side around the center of stroke. Measure displace-
ment of rack under torsional torque of ± 7.8 N·m (0.80 kg-m, 69
in-lb), and then check if it is within the standard value. If the
measurement is outside the standard value, adjust it again. After
the readjustment, if measurement is still outside the standard
value, replace steering gear assembly.
12. Install boot to gear housing assembly and inner socket. Rack stroke “L” : 65.0 mm (2.559 in)

Service Notice or Precaution for EPS System INFOID:0000000004307286
CAUTION:
Check or confirm the following item wh en performing the trouble diagnosis.
• Check any possible causes by interviewing the symptom and it’s condition from the customer if any
malfunction, such as EPS warn ing lamp turns ON, occurs.
• Check if air pressure and size of tires are proper, the specified part is used for the steering wheel,
and control unit is genuine part.
• Check if the connection of steer ing column assembly and steering gear assembly is proper (there is
not looseness of mounting bolts, damage of rods, boots or sealants, and leakage of grease, etc).
• Check if the wheel alignmen t is adjusted properly.
• Check if there is any damage or modification to su spension or body resulting in increased weight or
altered ground clearance.
• Check if installation conditions of each link and suspension are proper.
• Check if the battery voltage is proper
• Check connection conditions of each connector are proper.
• Before connecting or disconnect ing the EPS control unit har-
ness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and disconnect
battery ground cable. Because battery voltage is applied to
EPS control unit even if igniti on switch is turned “OFF”.
• When connecting or disconnect ing pin connectors into or
from EPS control unit, take care not to damage pin terminals
(bend or break).
When connecting pin connectors, make sure that there are no
bends or breaks on EPS control unit pin terminal.
• Before replacing EPS control unit, perform EPS control unit input/output signal inspectio n and make sure whether EPS
control unit functions properly or not. Refer to STC-9, " EPS
Control Unit Input/Output Signal Reference Value " . SEF289H
