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.
