Steering Angle Check

CAUTION: After adjusting the steering angle, always perform calibration to make ABS/ASC-ECU learn the neutral position of the steering wheel sensor. (Refer to STEERING WHEEL SENSOR CALIBRATION ). <Vehicles with ASC>

Check that the wheel alignment is normal. (Refer to FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT .)

Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge and measure the steering angle.

Standard value:

STEERING ANGLE REFERENCE CHART

Inner wheel	40°50' ± 1°30' (Left/right deviation within 2°00')
Outer wheel (reference value)	33°50'

If not within the standard value, adjust the tie-rods (right and left), and repeat Steps 1 and 2.
If the measured value exceeds the standard range by performing Step 3, replace the steering gear and linkage assembly. (Refer to POWER STEERING GEAR BOX AND LINKAGE .)
