Steering Angle Differs between Left and Right: Procedure

1. Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock at a speed of approximately 90°/sec. Check if the steering wheel angles between the left and right.

   OK

   The steering wheel is centered.

   HINT: 

   If turning the steering wheel quickly while driving at low speeds, the steering angle may differ between the left and right, or the steering wheel may become off-center. However, this is not a malfunction.

OK → VGRS SYSTEM IS NORMAL 

NG: Go to next step 

1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the steering wheel.
3. Measure the steering effort.

   Standard steering effort

   Below 6.9 N*m (70 kgf*cm, 61 in.*lbf)

   HINT: 

   After completing the inspection or repair, attempt to simulate the problem and then perform "READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM" above again to reconfirm that the problem does not occur See step  1.

NG → See step   4 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Check wheel alignment for the front. Refer to ADJUSTMENT [09/2012 - ] for 2WD. Refer to ADJUSTMENT [09/2012 - ] for AWD) and rear. Refer to ADJUSTMENT [09/2012 - ] .
   RESULT
   
   

   Result	Proceed to
   The wheel alignment is normal	A
   The front wheel alignment is not normal (for 2WD)	B
   The front wheel alignment is not normal (for AWD)	C
   The rear wheel alignment is not normal	D

   HINT: 

   Adjust the tie-rod ends within the specified values so that the tire angles are the same between the left and right when the steering wheel is turned from lock to lock.

B → See step   5 

C → See step   6 

D → See step   7
