2) Push engine switch to change ignition mode of keyless push start system to "ON".
3) Turn steering wheel fully clockwise and counterclockwise and check "Sensor (Main) Torque" and "Sensor (Sub) Torque" displayed on SUZUKI scan tool by selecting scan tool "Data list" mode. If check result is not as specified, perform Steps 4) to 7).

Sensor torque
Approx. -11 Nm (-1.1 kgf-m, -8.5 lbf-ft) to 11 Nm (1.1 kgf-m, 8.5 lbf-ft)

4) Push engine switch to change ignition mode to "OFF".
5) Separate steering lower shaft and steering gear case.
