POWER STEERING: POWER STEERING SYSTEM: PRECAUTION

PRECAUTION

1. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM ( Service Precautions)
NOTE: Some service operations affect the SRS airbag. Be sure to read the precautionary notice for the SRS airbag before servicing.

2. PRECAUTIONS FOR REMOVAL, INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRONIC MOTOR POWER STEERING COMPONENTS
(a) Be sure to align the front wheels straight ahead when removing and installing the steering gear assembly.
(b) When disconnecting the sliding yoke of the steering column and the pinion shaft of the steering gear assembly, be sure to put matchmarks before starting the operation.
(c) When any component related to the steering system has been removed and either reinstalled or replaced, perform the steering center point adjustment (zero point calibration) Diagnosis System.
(d) When disconnecting the connector related to the electronic motor power steering wheel, turn the power switch ON (IG) (the engine and the hybrid system are not stopped), center the steering wheel, turn the power switch OFF, and then disconnect the connector.
(e) When reconnecting the connector related to the electronic motor power steering system, ensure that the power switch is OFF. Center the steering wheel and then turn the power switch ON (IG) (the engine and the hybrid system are not stopped).
NOTE: Do not turn the power switch ON (IG) (the engine and the hybrid system are not stopped) when the steering wheel is not centered.

(f) If the procedures above are not performed out properly, the steering center point (zero point) will deviate, which may lead to a difference in steering effort between right and left. If there is a difference in steering effort between right and left, perform the steering center point adjustment (zero point calibration) Diagnosis System.
NOTE: FOR INITIALIZATION

When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, initialize the following systems after the cable is reconnected.





NOTE: FOR HYBRID SYSTEM ACTIVATION
- When the warning light 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.
