EPS System Neutral Position Setting
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Set the front wheels in the straight-ahead position. (Steering wheel is within 45° to the left or right of center position.)
- Jack up both front tires so that there is no weight on them.
- Lower the jack until the front tires touch the ground. At this time, be careful not to touch the tires or the steering wheel.
- Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
- Set to neutral by selecting the TRQ_S_CAL active command mode function.
- After setting to neutral, start the engine, rotate the steering wheel slowly in both directions within a range of90°,
and verify that the steering force does not differ in either directions.
- If the steering force is different in either direction, inspect the power steering system following a separate troubleshooting procedure. (See NO. 3 POWER ASSIST DIFFERS BETWEEN RIGHT & LEFT .)
