Variable Gear Ratio Steering System Steering Angle Differs Between Left And Right

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

CHECK STEERING WHEEL POSITION

CHECK STEERING EFFORT

CHECK WHEEL ALIGNMENT

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

1. Check that the steering wheel is centered.
   
2. After checking that no DTC is output for the VGRS system, perform the following procedure.
   

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

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   The steering wheel is off-center	A
   The steering wheel is centered	B

   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.

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 read the Data List again to confirm that the problem does not occur.

   Result

   Result Result	Proceed to
   OK	A
   NG (for 1VD-FTV with DPF)	B
   NG (except 1VD-FTV with DPF)	C

1. Check wheel alignment for the front (Click here).
   

   OK:

   The wheel alignment is normal.
   

   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.
