Visual/Physical Inspection

  1. Begin the system diagnosis by reviewing the system Description and Operation. Reviewing the Description and Operation information will help you determine the correct symptom diagnostic procedure when a malfunction exists. Reviewing the Description and Operation information, and the vehicle RPO, will also help you determine if the condition described by the customer is normal operation.
  2. Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the steering wheel and column.
  3. Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom.
  4. Refer to symptom list in order to correctly identify customer concern.
