INSPECTION

1. INSPECT STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY





(a) Using SST and a torque wrench, measure the main shaft turning torque.
SST: 09616-00011
Standard turning torque:
0.4 to 1.1 N*m (4 to 11 kgf*cm, 4 to 10 in.*lb) (2 sec./turn)
(b) If turning torque is out of the specification, remove the motor and remeasure.
Reference turning torque:
0.1 to 0.6 N*m (1 to 6 kgf*cm, 1 to 5 in.*lb) (2 sec./turn) (motorless)
If turning torque is within the specification, replace the motor within a new one.
If turning torque is out of the specification, replace the steering column assembly with a new one.
