Precautions/Procedu res
Steering-related Precautions
Stesring Wheel and Cable Reol Alignment
NOTE: To avoid misalignment of the steering wheel on

St€€rin9 Column Removal
CAUTION:
. Eefore removing thg stggring column. disconnect the
connsstor bqtween the cable r€el and th€ SRS msin
harness.
. lf the stoering column is going to be romoved with-
out dismounting th6 stoering wheel, lock the steer-
ing by turning the ignition key to o-LOCK position, or
remove the key trom the ignition switch so that the
steering wheel will not turn.
NOTE:
When the airbag and cable reel are disconnected,
don't reconnect the battery cable. lf the battery is
reconnected and the ignition switch is turned ON (ll),
the SRS unit will store this as an open in the driver's
airbag inflator, and the SRS indicator light will come
on.
For disconnecting the spring-loaded lock type con-
nector, refer to page 24-'10.
SRS MAIN HARNESS2P CONNECTOR
Do not replace the original steering wheel with any other
design because it will make it impossible to properly
install the airbag (only use genuine Honda replacement
parts).
After reassembly, confirm the wheels are still turned
straight ahead and that the steering wheel spoke angle
is correct. lf minor spoke angle adjustment is necessary,
do so only by adjusting the tie-rods, not by removing
and repositioning the steering wheel.

Cable Reel
