NOTE:
This test should be done with original equipment tires and wheels at the correct tire pressure.
- Start the engine and let it idle.
- Attach a commercially available spring scale to the steering wheel. With the engine idling and the vehicle on a clean, dry floor, pull the scale as shown and read it as soon as the tires begin to turn.
- If the scale reads no more than 34 N (3.5 kgf, 7.7 lbf), the power assist is OK. If it reads more, check these items:
- Steering linkage (see STEERING LINKAGE AND GEARBOX INSPECTION ).
- Rack guide adjustment (see RACK GUIDE ADJUSTMENT ).
- EPS system (see EPS INDICATOR ).
