A. Steering Column Bracket
B. Nuts
Tighten the bolts and nuts.
Power Steering System
Steering may become more difficult than usual for
the following reasons:
The steering wheel was continuously turned or
held to the full turn stops with torque applied by
driver. In this case the ECU works to protect the
system from overheating by stopping the power
assisting. Stop turning the steering wheel and wait
until the system temperature drops, and the power
steering recovers.
Fuses in the harness may have blown. There are
several reasons that the fuses may blow. Refer to
the Fuse section in this chapter for details.
Battery voltage has dropped.
Voltage drop can
happen when the engine starts; inspect the battery
voltage.
Cable harness or connectors may have been dis-
connected. See an authorized dealer for service.
NOTE
ż
If the steering becomes irregular or unusual for
any reason other than above, have an authorized
dealer check the steering and relevant compo-
nents immediately.
In some cases the power
steering’s neutral position can be affected by an
accident or bump.
