G.Inspecting Steering Wheel Position

G. Inspect steering wheel position for off center.


NOTE: Before removing the steering wheel, refer to the repair manual (page AB-16) for the proper procedure and care that is to be taken when working with the SRS system.

1. If steering wheel off center is 6 degrees or more, first remove the steering wheel and reinstall it as close as possible to the center position. If steering wheel is off center less than 6 degrees, center the wheel by turning the left and right tie rod ends an equal amount in opposite directions.

Note: One turn of the tie rod will change the steering wheel angle about 12.5 degrees.

II. Road test to verify that the pulling condition is corrected before returning the vehicle to the owner.
