      *c Colored Roller *d Top of Flat Cable U-turn

    2. If the spiral cable sub-assembly is not centered, center it.

      Note

      Failure to observe the following precautions may result in damage to the spiral cable sub-assembly.


      • When rotating the spiral cable sub-assembly, make sure to push on the interlock to release the interlock.

      • Do not turn the spiral cable sub-assembly using the airbag wire harness.

      • Do not forcibly rotate the part.


      1. A003ICB

        While pushing on the interlock indicated in the illustration. Make sure to rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly counterclockwise slowly by hand until it stops.

        Note

        Make sure to rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly counterclockwise. If rotated clockwise, it may be damaged or centering may no longer be possible.

        Tech Tips

        The interlock operates at the top and bottom of the connector.

  2. INSTALL SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

    Note


    • Do not replace the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly with the battery connected and the ignition switch on.

    • Do not rotate the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly with the battery connected and the ignition switch on.


    1. Check that the ignition switch is off.

    2. Check that the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      CAUTION:

      Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

    3. Check that the front wheels are facing straight ahead.

    4. Attach the 3 claws to install the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly.

      Note

      When replacing the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly with a new one, remove the lock pin before installing the steering wheel assembly.

    5. Connect each connector to the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly.

      Note

      When connecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.

      *a Lock Position

      Connect the airbag connector and check that the slider is in the lock position.

      Tech Tips

      If the slider is not in the lock position, the airbag connector is not completely connected. Disconnect the airbag connector, check the airbag connector and spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly terminals and connector housings for deformation or foreign matter, and then reconnect the airbag connector.

  3. INSTALL UPPER STEERING COLUMN COVER

      *b Insert into the cutout of the column tube so that the claw of the steering column upper cover does not break
      *c Lower the backside of the steering column upper cover

      Install the steering column upper cover to the steering column assembly.

  4. INSTALL LOWER STEERING COLUMN COVER


    1. Engage the 4 claws to install the steering column lower cover to the steering column upper cover.

    2. Using a "TORX" socket wrench (T25), tighten the 2 screws.

  5. INSTALL NO. 2 STEERING COLUMN LOWER COVER (w/ Smart Entry and Start System)


    1. Install the 4 guide pins install the No. 2 steering column lower cover.
