Steering Angle Check: Notes

CAUTION: After adjusting the steering angle, always perform calibration to make ASC-ECU learn the neutral position of the steering wheel sensor (Refer to G AND YAW RATE SENSOR CALIBRATION ).

Check that the wheel alignment is normal. (Refer to ON-VEHICLE SERVICE ).
Place the front wheel onto the turning radius gauge, and measure the steering angle.
Standard value:

Inner wheel: 38° 50' ± 1° 30' (Difference between right and left wheels must be 2°00' or less)

Outer wheel (reference): 32° 20'
