Reassembly [12/2013 - ]: Procedure
- INSTALL UN-LOCK WARNING SWITCH ASSEMBLY (w/o Smart Key System)
- Engage the 2 claws to install the un-lock warning switch assembly to the upper steering column bracket assembly.
- INSTALL IGNITION SWITCH LOCK CYLINDER ASSEMBLY (w/o Smart Key System)
- INSTALL KEY INTERLOCK SOLENOID (w/o Smart Key System)
- Engage the claw to install the key interlock solenoid to the steering column upper bracket assembly.
- Install the screw.
- INSTALL IGNITION OR STARTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY (w/o Smart Key System)
- Install the ignition or starter switch assembly to the upper steering column bracket assembly with the 2 screws.
- INSTALL TRANSPONDER KEY COIL (w/o Smart Key System)
- Engage the 2 claws to install the transponder key coil.
- INSTALL POWER STEERING MOTOR ASSEMBLY
- INSTALL POWER STEERING ECU WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY
- Install 2 service nuts to the steering main shaft.
Recommended Service Nut
Thread Diameter
12.0 mm (0.472 in.)
Thread Pitch
1.25 mm (0.0492 in.)
*a Service Nut - Simultaneously rotate the service nut that was installed first counterclockwise and rotate the service nut that was installed second clockwise to lock them.NOTE:
Do not apply excessive torque to the service nuts by using a tool such as an impact wrench.
HINT:
These nuts are installed to turn the steering main shaft. They should be removed after inspecting the steering main shaft rotating torque.
- Install a new O-ring to the power steering ECU with motor assembly.
- Apply grease to the splines of the power steering ECU with motor assembly.
Grease NOTE:First wipe off the existing grease from the splines, and then apply the dedicated grease supplied with a new power steering motor assembly or electric power steering column sub-assembly.
- Insert the power steering ECU with motor assembly into the splines of the electric power steering column sub-assembly.NOTE:
Do not damage the gears.
- Secure the steering column assembly in a vise using aluminum plates and wooden blocks as shown in the illustration.NOTE:
- Do not overtighten the vise, as the steering column assembly may become deformed.
- Secure the steering column assembly so that the power steering motor assembly is directly upright.
- Support the steering column assembly with a wooden block or similar item to ensure that it does not fall.
*a Aluminum Plate *b Wooden Block - Temporarily install the power steering ECU with motor assembly to the electric power steering column sub-assembly with the 2 bolts while rotating the steering main shaft at approximately 4 rpm.NOTE:
When temporarily installing the 2 bolts to the power steering motor assembly, do not tighten them all the way down.
- Rotate the steering main shaft 120 to 240 degrees at approximately 4 rpm.
- Rotate the steering main shaft 180 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise at approximately 4 rpm and repeat this operation 2 or 3 times to align the power steering ECU with motor assembly.
- Tighten the 2 bolts.
Torque: 20 N*m (204 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf)
NOTE:Make sure not to move the power steering motor assembly after adjusting the axis.
- Measure the turning torque of the steering main shaft.
Preload
1.3 to 2.0 N*m (13 to 20 kgf*cm, 11 to 17 in.*lbf)
NOTE:Ensure that there is no abnormal resistance during rotation.
If the torque is not as specified, readjust the axis of the power steering ECU with motor assembly.
- Remove the 2 service nuts from the steering main shaft.
- Connect the 2 connectors to the power steering ECU assembly.
- Apply new tape.
*a Start position of tape HINT:
- Wrap the power steering motor wire harness and torque sensor wire harness with tape 2 times from the start position of the tape shown in the illustration.
- Wrap the power steering motor assembly and power steering ECU assembly with tape more than 3 times.
- Install 2 service nuts to the steering main shaft.
- INSTALL ECU WIRE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- INSTALL POWER STEERING ECU PROTECTOR
- INSTALL STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT ASSEMBLY
- INSTALL STEERING LOCK ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (w/ Smart Key System)
HINT:
When replacing the steering lock actuator assembly, perform initialization.
Refer to REGISTRATION [12/2013 - 11/2016]
Refer to REGISTRATION [11/2016 - ]
- INSTALL UPPER STEERING COLUMN BRACKET WITH SWITCH ASSEMBLY (w/o Smart Key System)
HINT:
Perform the same procedure as the steering lock actuator assembly.
