PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Confirm that the ignition switch is turned off.

    2. Confirm that the negative (-) battery terminal is disconnected.

      CAUTION:

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

    3. Confirm that the front tires face straight forward.

    4. Confirm that the turn signal switch is in the neutral position.

      Note

      Perform the operation when the turn signal switch is in the neutral position. Otherwise, the turn signal pin will break.

    5. Engage the 3 claws and install the spiral cable sub-assembly.

      Note

      Pull the lock pin out before installing the steering wheel when replacing the spiral cable sub-assembly with a new one.

  5. ADJUST SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Confirm that the ignition switch is turned off.

    2. Confirm that the negative (-) battery terminal is disconnected.

      CAUTION:

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

    3. Confirm that the front tires face straight forward.

    4. Check if the spiral cable sub-assembly is centered.


        OK:

      • The connector is positioned at the top.

      • The colored roller or flat cable can be seen in the inspection window.

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

      Note

      Make sure to observe the following precautions, otherwise the spiral cable sub-assembly may be damaged.


      • Do not rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly with the battery connected and the ignition switch turned to ON.

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

      • Do not rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly with excessive force.


      1. A005JYW

        Rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly counterclockwise slowly by hand until it stops.

        Note

        If the spiral cable sub-assembly is rotated clockwise in this step, it may be damaged and may no longer be able to be centered. Make sure to only rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly counterclockwise.

      2. A005GWB

        If the connector is not positioned at the bottom of the rotation of the spiral cable sub-assembly when the spiral cable sub-assembly is turned until it stops, turn the spiral cable sub-assembly clockwise until the connector is positioned at the bottom as shown in the illustration.

      3. A005IV1

        Rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly clockwise approximately 2.5 times.

        Note

        If the spiral cable sub-assembly is rotated clockwise 5 times or more from the point at which it stops and the connector is positioned at the bottom, the spiral cable sub-assembly may be damaged.

      4. Check that the spiral cable sub-assembly is centered.


          OK:

        • The connector is positioned at the top.

        • The colored roller or flat cable can be seen in the inspection window.
