Diagnosis and Testing
Principle of Operation Published: 11-May-2011
For a detailed description of the steering system operation, refer to the relevant Description and Operation sections of the
workshop manual. REFER to:
Power Steering (211-02 Power Steering, Description and Operation), Power Steering (211-02 Power Steering, Description and Operation), Power Steering (211-02 Power Steering, Description and Operation), Steering Linkage (211-03 Steering Linkage, Description and Operation), Steering Linkage (211-03 Steering Linkage, Description and Operation), Steering Linkage (211-03 Steering Linkage, Description and Operation), Steering Column (211-04 Steering Column, Description and Operation), Steering Column (211-04 Steering Column, Description and Operation), Steering Column (211-04 Steering Column, Description and Operation), Steering Column Switches (211-05 Steering Column Switches, Description and Operation), Steering Column Switches (211-05 Steering Column Switches, Description and Operation), Steering Column Switches (211-05 Steering Column Switches, Description and Operation).
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage and system integrity.
Visual Inspection
Mechanical Electrical
Tire condition/pressure
Fluid level
Leaks
Security, condition and correct installation of suspension components
Security, condition and correct installation of steering system components
Fuses
Harnesses for damage/corrosion
Electrical connector(s)
Damaged/corroded pins
CAUTION: If a steering gear assembly is returned under warranty with leaking output shaft seals, but there is also
damage to the steering gear boot/boots the steering gear warranty will be invalid. This is due to the steering gear output
shaft seals being damaged due to foreign materials entering the steering gear boot and damaging the steering gear output
shaft seals thereafter.
3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to
the next step.
4. If the concern is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the symptom chart.
Symptom Charts
WARNING: It is not possible to CHECK the torque of a patchlock bolt, if the torque is suspected to be low, the bolt must
be REMOVED/DISCARDED and a new bolt MUST be INSTALLED and torque to the correct value.
NOTE: If the module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the
Warranty Policy and Procedures manual (section B1.2), or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior to
the installation of a new module/component.
