Checking Steering Wheel Return
Check the steering wheel return and confirm the following points:
- The force required to turn the steering wheel and the wheel return should be the same for both left and right in case of moderate or sharp turns.
- When the steering wheel is turned 90° and held for a couple of seconds while the vehicle is being driven at 35 KPH, the steering wheel should return at least 70° 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.
