Wheel Alignment

If the vehicle requires a wheel alignment, the initialization procedure must be started before beginning the alignment. Using the DISplus/GT-1 scan tool, complete the following steps:

• Access the test module for "Startup adjustment/AFS." When prompted, answer "Yes" to the alignment question.
• Center steering rack and check alignment marks on the steering gear.
• Install tool No. 324150 and lock steering wheel.
• Proceed with alignment.
• After completing the last steps of the alignment (front toe adjustment), remove 324150.
• Proceed with the remaining portion of the test module.

This will set the total steering angle to zero degrees by locking the superimposing gear (ring gear). The AFS control module will de-energize the electromagnetic lock which will hold the AFS actuator motor which will in turn hold the superimposing gear stationary. If alignment is attempted without performing this procedure, the steering will be off-center by a considerable amount. Special tool No. 324150 is used to hold the steering wheel in the center position. Failure to use the special tool will result in an off-center steering wheel.
