Return to Center Check
STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO CENTER CHECKConduct a road test:
1. Make both gradual and sudden turns and check the steering wheel return.
2. At a vehicle speed of approximately 35 km/h (22 mph), turn the steering wheel 90 degrees, hold a few seconds, then release. If the steering wheel then returns 70 degrees or more, the return can be judged as satisfactory.
NOTE: There will be a momentary feeling or heaviness when the wheel is turned quickly, but this is not abnormal. (Oil pump discharge amount is especially apt to be insufficient during idling.)
