Inspection

ALIGNMENT / HANDLING DIAGNOSIS: REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT: INSPECTION

NOTICE:
If the wheel alignment has been adjusted, or if suspension or underbody components have been removed/installed or replaced, be sure to perform the following initialization procedure in order for the system to function normally:

* Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor.

1. PRECAUTION

Standard values indicated by *1 in the specification tables are for vehicles with a white identification mark on the bottom of the rear coil spring.

2. INSPECT TIRES Component Tests and General Diagnostics

3. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT Adjustment

4. INSPECT CAMBER

NOTICE:
Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.

(a) Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge.

(b) Inspect the camber.

Camber (Unloaded Vehicle):





*1: Vehicles with a white identification mark on the bottom of the rear coil spring

HINT
Camber is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts for damage and/or wear, and replace them if necessary.

5. INSPECT TOE-IN

NOTICE:
Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.

(a) Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.

(b) Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to N.

(c) Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step A)

(d) Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of the rear wheels and measure the distance between the marks (dimension B).

(e) Slowly push the vehicle straight ahead to cause the rear wheels to rotate 180°. Use the rear tire valve as a reference point.

HINT
Do not allow the wheels to rotate more than 180°. If the wheels rotate more than 180°, perform the procedure from Step A again.

(f) Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front of the wheels (dimension A).

Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle):





*1: Vehicles with a white identification mark on the bottom of the rear coil spring

*2: NHP10L-AHXRBA

*3: NHP10L-AHXVBA and NHP10L-AHXGBA

HINT
Measure "B - A" only when "C + D" cannot be measured.

If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.

6. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD

7. PERFORM YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR CALIBRATION
