Repair Procedures

Replacement

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery and then wait for at least 30 seconds.
2. Turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels can face straight ahead.
3. Loosen the torx bolts which are located on the both side of the steering wheel.
4. Disconnect the air bag and horn connector from the air bag module(A) and then remove the air bag module from the steering wheel.




5. Loosen the lock nut & washer then remove the steering wheel.

Tightening torque :
39.2 - 49.0 N.m(4.0 - 5.0 kgf.m, 28.9 - 36.2 lb-ft)




6. Remove the steering column upper and lower shroud.




7. Remove the clock spring(A).




8. Remove the multifunction switches(A).




9. Remove the lower crash pad .








10. Remove the reinforce panel(A) by loosening the mounting bolts.




11. Remove the dust cover(A) by loosening the nuts.

Tightening torque :
3.9 - 5.9N.m(0.4 - 0.6kgf.m, 2.9 - 4.3lb-ft)




12. Remove the universal joint(A).

Tightening torque :
29.4 - 34.3N.m(3.0 - 3.5kgf.m, 21.5 - 25.3lb-ft)




13. Remove the steering column(A) by loosening the mounting bolts & nuts.

Tightening torque :
12.7 - 17.7 N.m(1.3 - 1.8 kgf.m, 9.4 - 13.0 lb-ft)




14. Installation is the reverse of the removal.

CAUTION:
When installing the clock spring, refer the RT group to prevent the damage of clock spring inner cable.

15. Compensate the steering angle sensor after replaceing the steering column.

Disassembly

1. Make a groove in the head of the Break Off Bolts (A). This can be done with a cut-off wheel of with a chisel.
2. Loosen the special bolt using a screw driver and then remove the key lock assembly from the steering column assembly.




3. Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. Use new Break Off Bolts when installing the Key Lock Assembly.

Universal Joint Assembly
1. Remove the universal joint assembly from the steering column assembly by loosening the bolt (A).

Tightening torque :
14.7 - 19.6N.m (1.5 - 2.0kgf.m, 10.8 - 14.5lb-ft)




2. Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly.

Inspection

1. Check the steering column for damage and deformation.
2. Check the connection for play, damage and smooth operation.
3. Check the joint bearing for damage and wear.
4. Check the tilt bracket for damage and cracks.
5. Check the key lock assembly for proper operation and replace it if necessary.

Adjustment

After or before servicing the EPS system, perform the troubleshooting and test procedure as follows. Compare the system condition with normal condition in the table below and if abnormal symptom is detected, perform necessary remedy and inspection.















ASP: Absolute Steering Position
CAN: Controller Area Network
EMS: Engine Management System

CAUTION:
The following symptoms may occur during normal vehicle operation and if there is no EPS warning light illumination, it is not malfunction of EPS system.
- After turning the ignition switch on, the steering wheel becomes heavier while it performs EPS system diagnostics, for about 2 seconds, then it becomes normal steering condition.
- After turning the ignition switch on or off, EPS relay noise may occur but it is normal.
- When it is steered, while the vehicle is stopped or in low driving speed, motor noise may occur but it is normal operating one.

Caution when ASP (Absolute Steering Position) calibration or EPS type recognition
- Check if the battery is fully charged before ASP calibration or EPS type recognition.
- Be careful not to disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or scan tool during ASP calibration or EPS type recognition.
- When the ASP calibration or EPS type recognition is completed, turn the ignition switch off and wait for several seconds, then start the engine to confirm normal operation of the vehicle.

ASP Calibration
1. Select "Steering Angle Sensor".
2. Proceed with the test according to the screen introductions.









EPS Type Recognition Procedure
1. Select "EPS Variant Coding".
2. Proceed with the test according to the screen introductions.
