Some 2009 – 2010 Corolla and Matrix vehicles may exhibit a clunk, pop, or knocking noise when turning the steering wheel to the left or right. A new intermediate shaft has been developed to address this condition. Use the following repair procedure to remove and replace the steering intermediate shaft. Repair Procedure 1. Install a steering wheel lock to ensure the wheels are straight and the steering wheel is centered before removing the steering intermediate shaft. Make sure the steering wheel and front wheels remain stationary. Once the intermediate shaft is removed, do NOT allow the steering wheel to spin freely. 2. Remove the column hole silencer sheet. 3. Place a matchmark on the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft that will later be copied onto the new part, and remove the bolt. 4. Place a matchmark on the upper portion of the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft. 5. Remove the bolt and the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly from the steering column assembly. 6. Place the matchmarks on the NEW steering intermediate shaft sub-assembly. A. Place the NEW steering intermediate shaft next to the original steering intermediate shaft assembly (removed in the previous step). B. Transfer the matchmarks on the original steering intermediate shaft to the same locations on the NEW steering intermediate shaft. Figure 5. 1 Original Steering Intermediate Shaft 7. Install the NEW No. 2 intermediate shaft and line up the matchmarks and tighten the bolt. Torque: 35 N*m (360 kgf*cm, 26 ft*lbf) 8. Install the No. 2 intermediate shaft onto the No. 1 intermediate shaft and line up the matchmarks, and tighten the bolt. Torque: 35 N*m (360 kgf*cm, 26 ft*lbf) 9. Reinstall the column hole silencer sheet. 10. Road test the vehicle to verify the repair and con?rm that the steering wheel is centered.

CAUTION: Prior to removal of the camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) (12126) , set cylinder No.1 to zero degrees top dead center (TDC) of compression stroke. Then note the position of the camshaft position sensor electrical connector. The installation procedure requires the connector be located in the same position. Removal 1. Disconnect battery ground cable (14301). Refer to Section 14-01. 2. Disconnect fuel charging wiring connector from camshaft position sensor. 3. Remove camshaft position sensor retaining screws and camshaft position sensor from camshaft position sensor housing. 4. If removing camshaft position sensor housing from the cylinder block (6010), proceed with Removal Step 5. If not removing camshaft position sensor housing, proceed to Step 6 of the installation procedures. 5. Remove hold-down clamp (12270) (bolt and washer assembly). 6. NOTE: Remove the oil pump intermediate shaft (6A618) with the camshaft position sensor housing. Remove camshaft position sensor housing from cylinder block. Installation 1. CAUTION: If the replacement camshaft position sensor housing does not contain a plastic locator cover tool, a special service tool must be obtained prior to installation of the replacement camshaft position sensor. Failure to follow this procedure will result in improper camshaft position sensor alignment. This will result in the ignition fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage. NOTE: For 3.0L engines, use Syncro Positioning Tool 303-589. For 3.8L engines, use Syncro Positioning Tool 303-562 (T96T-12200-A). If the plastic locator cover tool is not attached to the replacement camshaft position sensor housing, attach syncro positioning tool as follows: a. Engage camshaft position sensor housing vane into the radial slot of the tool. b. Rotate tool on camshaft position sensor housing until tool boss engages notch in camshaft position sensor housing. 2. Transfer oil pump intermediate shaft from old camshaft position sensor housing to replacement camshaft position sensor housing. 3. Install camshaft position sensor housing so drive gear engagement occurs when arrow on syncro positioning tool is pointed approximately as shown in the illustrations. This step will locate camshaft position sensor electrical connector in the pre-removal position. 4. Install hold-down clamp (washer and bolt assembly) and tighten bolt to 20-30 Nm (15-22 lb-ft). 5. Remove syncro positioning tool. 6. CAUTION: If camshaft position sensor electrical connector is not positioned properly, DO NOT reposition the connector by rotating the camshaft position sensor housing. This will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage. Remove the camshaft position sensor housing and repeat installation procedure, beginning with Step 1. Install camshaft position sensor and retaining screws. On 3.0L engine, tighten screws to 2.5-3.5 Nm (23-30 lb-in). On 3.8L engine, tighten screws to 4.5-7 Nm (40-61 lb-in). 7. Connect fuel charging wiring connector to camshaft position sensor. 8. Connect battery ground cable. Refer to Section 14-01. Camshaft Position Sensor—3.0L Engine
