Checking Steering Wheel Return

  1. The force required to turn and return the steering wheel should be the same for both left and right in case of moderate or sharp turns.
  2. When the steering wheel is turned 90° and held for a couple of seconds while the vehicle is being driven at 35kph, the steering wheel should return to within 20° from the neutral position when it is released.
    NOTE: If the steering wheel is turned very quickly, steering may be momentarily difficult. This is not a malfunction because the oil pump output will be somewhat decreased.
