S6JB0A6304003
WARNING
!
When performing a check, select a place
where there is no traffic or possibility of a
traffic accident and be very careful during
testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.
Check steering wheel for recovery as follows.
1) Rotate it to either right or left end.
2) Keep it at the end, and start the vehicle slowly.
3) Accelerate vehicle slowly.
If steering wheel begins to return at the vehicle speed
less than 10 km/h (6.3 mph), it is normal condition.
If the check result is abnormal, diagnose the fault part
referring to "Poor recovery from turns" in "P/S System
Symptom Diagnosis".

Idle Up System Check
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Turn A/C switch OFF, if equipped.
3) Turn steering wheel fully and check idle speed.
Engine idle speed drops a little momentarily when
steering wheel is turned fully but returns to its
specified level immediately.
If power steering pressure switch connector is
connected, check the same with that connector
disconnected.
Momentary drop of engine idle speed should be less
when it is connected than when disconnected.
