Steering Column: Service Precautions
STEERINGPRECAUTION
1. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM
2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR STEERING COLUMN
a) When handling the steering column assy:
1) Avoid any impact to the steering column assy, especially to the motor or the torque sensor. Replace with a new one if dropped or subjected to a severe blow.
2) Do not pull on the wire harness when moving the steering column assy.
3) When the steering column assy or other steering-related parts have been removed and either reinstalled or replaced, perform steering center point adjustment (zero point calibration).
b) When disconnecting and reconnecting the connectors:
1) When disconnecting the connector related to the electronic motor power steering system, turn the power switch on (IG), center the steering wheel, turn the power switch off, and then disconnect the connector.
2) When reconnecting the connector related to the electronic motor power steering system, reconnect it after making sure that the power switch is off, center the steering wheel, and then turn the power switch on (IG).
NOTICE: Do not turn the power switch on (IG) when the steering wheel is not centered.
3) If the above operations are not carried out properly, the steering center point (zero point) will deviate, which will lead to a difference in steering effort between right and left. If there is a difference in the steering effort between right and left, perform steering center point adjustment (zero point calibration).
NOTICE FOR INITIALIZATION:
When disconnecting the negative (-) battery terminal, initialize the following systems after the terminal is reconnected.
NOTICES FOR HYBRID SYSTEM ACTIVATION:
^ When the warning lamp is illuminated or the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, pressing the power switch may not start the system on the first try. If so, press the power switch again.
^ With the power switch's power mode changed to ON (IG), disconnect the battery. If the key is not in the key slot during reconnection, DTC B2799 may be output.
