4. Perform the steering angle sensor system check
(see next page).
NOTE:
• There is no need to select (replace) the shims when
the steering angle sensor is replaced. Use the origi-
nal shims.
• Selection (Replacement) of the adjusting shims
(for adjusting the air gap) is required only when
the steering column assembly (without the sen-
sor) is replaced.
WASHERS
Steering angle sensor system check
1. Start the engine,
2. Push the TCS switch three times within three seconds.
NOTE: Always maintain the same number of rota-
tions.
3. Turn the steering wheel slowly from left to right more
than 1.5 turns.
NOTE:
Start checking after the steering wheel moves at
least 1.5 turns from right to left.
Turn the steering wheel slowly, no faster than
one turn in four seconds.
4. Push the TCS switch twice within three seconds.
NOTE: Always maintain the same number of rota-
tions.
5. Return the steering wheel to the left side slowly, and
check the number of times the TCS indicator light
flashes after the wheel has moved approximately
one turn.
NOTE:
Start the check from the beginning when the steer-
ing wheel moves at least one turn from left to
right,
Turn the steering wheel slowly, no faster than one
turn in four seconds.
Standard number of times the TCS indicator light
flashes:
Manual Transmission: 5 times
Automatic Transmission: 2 times
6. If there is an abnormality, check the troubleshooting
flowchart (see page 19-98(’91-’93)(’94-’96)
Selection of the adjusting shims for the steering angle
sensor air gap adjustment
NOTE:
The adjustment of the air gap between the steering
shaft and the steering angle sensor should be carried
out in order to obtain adequate sensor output.
The adjusting shim reference number is stamped on
the steering column. Select the adjusting shims that
match the reference number using the table below.
