SPIRAL CABLE
6. Disconnect lighting and turn signal switch connector (1). Then while pressing tabs (2), pull lighting and turn signal switch
toward driver door to remove.
7. Remove the screws, then release the tab at the top and pull the spiral cable away from the steering column assembly.
8. Disconnect spiral cable connectors.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Align spiral cable correctly when installing steering wheel. Make sure spiral cable alignment and centering marks (B) are matched
and in the neutral position. The neutra l position is detected by turn-
ing left 2.5 revolutions from the right end position, ending with the
locating pin (A) at the top. Place steering wheel in straight ahead
position, then install it with the locating pin hole (C) directly over
spiral cable locating pin.
• After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to make sure
no malfunction is detected. Refer to SRS-19, " SRS Operation
Check " . WHIA0316E

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

• If any malfunction occurs in the system, and control unit detects the malfunction, EPS warning lamp on com-

• When EPS warning lamp is ON, enters a manual steer ing state. (Control turning force steering wheel
becomes heavy.)
How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis INFOID:0000000004307291
BASIC CONCEPT
• To perform trouble diagnosis, it is a must to have an understanding about vehicle systems (control and mechanism) thoroughly.
• It is also important to clarify customer complaints before starting
the inspection.
First of all, reproduce the symptoms, and understand them fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases, it
will be necessary to check symptoms by driving vehicle with cus-
tomer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professionals. It is dangerous to make an
easy guess like “maybe the customer means that...” or
“maybe the customer mentions this symptom”.
• It is essential to check symptoms right from the beginning in order to repair malfunctions completely.
For intermittent malfunctions, reproduce symptoms based on inter-
view with customer and past examples. Do not perform inspection
on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions are caused by
poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to shake suspected
harness or connector by hand. When repairing without any symp-
tom diagnosis, you cannot judge if malfunctions has actually been
eliminated.
PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
• Be sure to check the procedures of the trouble diagnosis in advance. Refer to "How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis" .
• Always erase memory after completing trouble diagnosis. Refer to STC-11, " CONSULT-III Function (EPS) " .
• Checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check connector terminals for disconnection,
looseness, bend, or collapse. Repair or replace app licable part if any non-standard condition is detected.
• Be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal if a circuit tester is used for the check.
• Always confirm the general precautions. Refer to GI-3, " General Precaution " .
INTERVIEW
• Complaints vary depending on the person. It is important to clarify the customer's actual remarks.
• Ask the customer about what sy mptoms occur under what condi-
tions. Use the information to reproduce the symptom of confirm by
vehicle. SEF233G
