MODEL 163, 168, 203, 209, 210, 211, 215, 220, 230, 414 

1	Measure steering-wheel torque	Fixture	Fig 1
		Friction torque gauge	Fig 2
		Test prerequisites: Ground:  asphalt (dry), no low-friction surface! Vehicle:  warm Tire inflation pressure:  as per manufacturer's specifications Tire condition:  as much tread as possible Steering angle measuring range:  +/- 180° from center of steering wheel Steering speed:  less than a quarter to half a steering wheel rotation/second Ensure steering wheel is turned evenly when measuring the steering-wheel torque otherwise the value measured may be exaggerated. Maximum specified values for steering torque: Model 163 3.9 Nm to 4.4 Nm 1.9 Nm to 3.1 Nm (with SPS) Model 168 6.5 Nm Model 203 6.3 Nm 4.6 Nm (with SPS) Model 209 6.3 Nm 4.6 Nm (with SPS) Model 210 6.5 Nm 5.0 Nm (with SPS) Model 211 6.3 Nm 4.8 Nm (with SPS) Model 215 4.8 Nm up to 09/02 4.6 Nm (with SPS) as of 09/02 Model 220 4.8 Nm up to 09/02 4.6 Nm (with SPS) as of 09/02 Model 230 4.6 Nm (with SPS)
		If the steering-wheel torque exceeds the values listed above: ↓ Locate and eliminate cause using steering diagnosis.	SI46.00-P-0001A
