Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery Disconnect
NDS000EK
NOTE: q Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK
position, then disconnect both battery cables.
q After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both battery cables.
q Always use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work. If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.
This vehicle is equipped with a push-button ignition switch and a steering lock unit. If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and cannot be turned. If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the procedure below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE 1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE: Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Carry the Intelligent Key or insert it to the key slot and turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position. (At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables disconnected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-II.
Service Notice or Precautions
NDS000EL
q Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required, be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.
q Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.
q Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
q Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them with a new ones if necessary.
q Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time when the unit is disassembled.
q In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
q Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
q Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
q When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any moisture, oil, and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.
q Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
q Avoid using cotton gloves or shop rags to prevent entering of lint.
q During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and apply new gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multipurpose grease as specified for each vehicle, if necessary.

Total preload torque: 1.56 - 2.65 N·m (0.16 - 0.27 kg-m, 14 - 23 in-lb)
NOTE: Total preload torque = Pinion bearing preload torque + Side bearing preload torque
q If measured value is out of the specification, disassemble it to check and adjust each part. Adjust the pinion bearing preload and side bearing preload. Adjust the pinion bearing preload first, then adjust the side bearing preload.
PDIA0792J
When the preload torque is large
On pinion bearings: Decrease the drive pinion bearing adjusting washer and drive pinion adjusting washer thickness. Refer to FFD-36, "Drive Pinion Bearing Adjusting Washer" and FFD-36, "Drive Pinion Adjusting Washer" .
On side bearings:
Increase the side bearing adjusting shim thickness. Refer to FFD-36, "Side Bearing Adjusting Shim" .
When the preload torque is small
On pinion bearings: Increase the drive pinion bearing adjusting washer and drive pinion adjusting washer thickness. Refer to FFD-36, "Drive Pinion Bearing Adjusting Washer" and FFD-36, "Drive Pinion Adjusting Washer" .
On side bearings:
Decrease the side bearing adjusting shim thickness. Refer to FFD-36, "Side Bearing Adjusting Shim" .
