INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY
(a) Check the spider bearing axial play by turning the flange while holding the shaft tightly. HINT: If necessary, replace the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly. |
|
2. INSPECT INTERMEDIATE SHAFT
(a) Using a dial indicator, inspect the intermediate shaft sub-assembly. Maximum runout: 0.4 mm (0.0157 in.) NOTICE: The dial indicator must be set at a right angle to the center of the intermediate shaft. If the shaft runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly. |
|
(b) Using a dial indicator, inspect the front side universal joint flange runout in the vertical direction. Maximum runout: 0.1 mm (0.00394 in.) If the flange runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly. |
|
(c) Using a dial indicator, inspect the rear side universal joint flange runout in the vertical direction. Maximum runout: 0.1 mm (0.00394 in.) If the flange runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly. |
|
(d) Using a dial indicator, inspect the rear side universal joint flange runout in the horizontal direction. Maximum runout: 0.1 mm (0.00394 in.) If the flange runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly. |
|
3. INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT
(a) Using a dial indicator, inspect the propeller shaft. Maximum runout: 0.4 mm (0.0157 in.) NOTICE: The dial indicator must be set at a right angle to the center of the propeller shaft. If the shaft runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly. |
|
4. INSPECT REAR PROPELLER SHAFT
(a) Using a dial indicator, inspect the rear propeller shaft. Maximum runout: 0.4 mm (0.0157 in.) NOTICE: The dial indicator must be set at a right angle to the center of the rear propeller shaft. If the shaft runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly. |
|
5. INSPECT NO. 1 CENTER SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY
(a) Turn the No. 1 center support bearing assembly by hand while applying force in the rotation direction. Check that the bearing turns smoothly. |
|
(b) Check that the seals and bracket are not cracked or damaged.
If the No. 1 center support bearing assembly is damaged, worn, or does not turn freely, replace it.
6. INSPECT NO. 2 CENTER SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY
(a) Turn the No. 2 center support bearing assembly by hand while applying force in the rotation direction. Check that the bearing turns smoothly.
(b) Check that the seals and bracket are not cracked or damaged.
If the No. 2 center support bearing assembly is damaged, worn, or does not turn freely, replace it.

Torque Sensor Zero Point Adjustment Undone (C1515,C1525)
DESCRIPTION
These DTCs do not indicate a malfunction. The power steering ECU stores these
DTCs when it determines that the rotation angle sensor value initialization and
torque sensor zero point calibration have not been performed.
