(c) Connect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.

(d) Using a torque wrench, check that the steering wheel set bolt is properly tightened.

Torque:

62 N·m {632 kgf·cm, 46 ft·lbf}

(e) Turn the power switch on (READY) so that the power steering is ready to operate.

(f) Turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to the right and check steering effort (torque) with the steering wheel turned. Check in the opposite direction using the same method.

Standard Steering Effort (Reference):

5.5 N*m (56 kgf*cm, 49 in.*lbf) or less

(g) Align the front wheels facing straight ahead.

(h) Turn the power switch off.

(i) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.

NOTICE:

When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected.
