Steering: Application and ID

JA vehicles built up to Jan. 7, 1997 (MDH 0107XX) with speed proportional steering are equipped with an electronically controlled speed sensitive variable assist power steering system. Vehicles built on or after Jan. 7, 1997 are equipped with a droop flow speed sensitive variable assist power steering system.

Both systems provide more assist at slower speeds and better road feel at higher speeds, however, service procedures vary depending on the component.
