WIRING DIAGRAMS

deploys.
* After air bag deploys, air bag surface may contain deposits
of sodium hydroxide, which irritate skin. Always wear safety
glasses, rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during clean
up. Wash hands using mild soap and water. Follow correct
clean-up and disposal procedures.
* Because of critical system operating requirements, DO NOT
service any SRS components. Repairs are only made by
replacing defective part(s).
* DO NOT allow any electrical source near inflator on the back
of air bag module.
* When carrying live air bag module, trim cover should be
pointed away from body to minimize injury in case of
accidental air bag deployment.
* If SRS is not fully functional for any reason, DO NOT drive
vehicle until system is repaired and is fully functional. DO
NOT remove bulbs, modules, sensors or other components, or in
any way disable system from operating normally. If SRS is not
functional, park vehicle until repairs are made.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
STEERING WHEEL
WARNING: Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting negative
battery cable before servicing SRS. System reserve capacitor
maintains SRS voltage for about 60 seconds after battery is
disconnected. Servicing SRS before 60-second period may
cause accidental air bag deployment and possible personal
injury.
Removal
Disable air bag. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
Ensure steering wheel is straight ahead. Remove air bag. Place
reference mark on steering wheel and steering column shaft for
installation reference. Remove steering wheel nut and washer. Using
steering wheel puller, remove steering wheel.
CAUTION: DO NOT hammer on steering wheel during removal or
installation, as it may damage steering column.
Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Ensure reference marks
are aligned. Tighten fasteners to specification. See
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Activate air bag. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING
AIR BAG SYSTEM.
COMBINATION SWITCH
CAUTION: When installing steering wheel, if rotating part of
clockspring is not properly centered with steering column
and front wheels, clockspring failure will result.
Removal & Installation
Remove lower instrument cover and lower heater duct. Remove
air bag and steering wheel. See STEERING WHEEL under
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION . Remove upper and lower steering column covers.
Disconnect clockspring electrical connector. Remove screws attaching
colckspring and remove clockspring. Disconnect combination switch
electrical connectors. Remove screws and combination switch. To
install, reverse removal procedure.

IGNITION SWITCH
Removal & Installation
1) Remove upper and lower steering column covers. Disconnect
harness connector from ignition switch. Using hacksaw, cut slots in
bolt heads of lock assembly. Using screwdriver, remove bolts and lock
assembly.
2) To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten new bolts
until heads of bolts sheer off.
STEERING COLUMN
WARNING: Failure to follow air bag service precautions may result in
air bag deployment and personal injury. See AIR BAG SERVICE
PRECAUTIONS. Follow all service precautions before
attempting repairs. After component replacement, perform a
system operational check to ensure proper system operation.
CAUTION: Applying excessive pressure or causing impact to steering
shaft during service may cause column to collapse. Before
removing steering column, ensure wheels are in
straight-ahead position. Note steering wheel location for
installation reference.
Removal
1) Remove steering wheel. Remove combination switch and
ignition switch (if necessary). See STEERING WHEEL under
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION .
2) Remove lower instrument panel cover and air duct.
Disconnect all electrical connections. Disconnect brake pedal return
spring (if equipped). Disconnect gearshift control cable.
3) Remove bolts for dust cover at firewall. Remove bolt from
clamp at steering gear. Remove steering column bolts and remove
steering column.
Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Apply sealant (3M ATD
8663) to dust cover bolts before installing. Tighten bolts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
OVERHAUL
STEERING COLUMN
WARNING: Failure to follow air bag service precautions may result in
air bag deployment and personal injury. See AIR BAG SERVICE
PRECAUTIONS. Follow all service precautions before
attempting repairs. After component replacement, perform a
system operational check to ensure proper system operation.
NOTE: Vehicle steering column is not repairable. See below for
joint assembly and steering lock removal and installation.
Disassembly
Remove steering column from vehicle. See STEERING COLUMN
under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION . Remove clamp bolt from joint assembly.
See Fig. 1 . Remove assembly. Remove lower boot, upper boot and dust
cover from joint assembly. To remove steering lock, use a hacksaw to
cut bolts at steering lock bracket side. Remove steering lock and
bracket.

lock with column boss. Ensure steering lock is operational. Tighten
