Using a scan tool, observe the Steering Wheel Position parameter changes smoothly while turning steering wheel through the entire range. Correlate zero reading with wheels in the straight ahead position. Drive the vehicle through a variety of maneuvers turning to the left, and to the right and straight line at a speed greater than 20 km/h (13 mph).
