CAUTION:
Removal of the steering wheel allows the contact coil to turn
freely but do not turn the contact coil (on the combination
switch) more than allowable number of turns (about two and
a half turns from the center position clockwise or counter-
clockwise respectively), or coil will break.
REMOVAL
1) Remove driver air bag (inflator) module from steering wheel re-
ferring to ªDRIVER AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULEº earlier in
this section.
2) Remove steering shaft nut.
3) Make alignment marks on steering wheel and shaft for a guide
during reinstallation.
4) Remove steering wheel with special tool.
Special Tool
(A): 09944-36011
CAUTION:
Do not hammer the end of the shaft. Hammering it will
loosen the plastic shear pins which maintain the column
length and impair the collapsible design of the column.
CENTERING CONTACT COIL
1) Check that vehicle's wheels (front tires) are set at straight-ahead
position.
2) Check that ignition switch is at ªLOCKº position.
3) Turn contact coil counterclockwise slowly with a light force till
contact coil will not turn any further.
NOTE:
Contact coil can turn about 5 turns at maximum, that is, if
it is at the center position, can turn about two and a half
turns both clockwise and counterclockwise.
4) From the position where contact coil became unable to turn any
further (it stopped), turn it back clockwise about two and a half
rotations and align center mark with alignment mark.

3) Connect all connectors that have been removed in removal.
4) Install steering column upper and lower cover, and then tighten
steering column cover screws.
CAUTION:
When installing lower cover and upper cover, be careful
so that contact coil and combination switch lead wire is
not caught between covers.
5) Install steering column hole cover.
6) Install steering wheel to steering column. Refer to ªSTEERING
WHEELº in this section.
STEERING COLUMN
CAUTION:
Once the steering column is removed from the vehicle, the
column is extremely susceptible to damage.
Dropping the column assembly on its end could collapse
the steering shaft or loosen the plastic shear pins which
maintain column length leaning on the column assembly
could cause it to bend or deform.
Any of the above damage could impair the column's col-
lapsible design.
When loosening steering column mounting bolts, make
sure that steering column assembly and steering shaft low-
er assembly have been separated. Loosening them with
steering column assembly and steering shaft lower assem-
bly assembled could cause damage to bearing in steering
shaft lower assembly.
NOTE:
When servicing steering column or any column-mounted
component, remove steering wheel. But when removing steer-
ing column simply to gain access to instrument panel compo-
nents, leave steering wheel installed on steering column.

3F-2 WHEELS AND TIRES
The metric term for tire inflation pressure is the kilopascal (kPa).
Tire pressures will usually be printed in both kPa and psi on the Tire
Placard. Metric tire gauges are available from tool suppliers. The
chart, left table, converts commonly used inflation pressures from
kPa to psi.kPakgf / cm2psi

WHEELS REPLACEMENT
Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have excessive
lateral or radial runout, leak air through welds, have elongated bolt
holes, if lug nuts won't stay tight, or if they are heavily rusted.
Wheels with greater runout than shown in left figure may cause ob-
jectional vibrations.
Wheels for replacement must be equivalent to the originally
equipped wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim width, off-set and
mounting configuration. A wheel of improper size or type may affect
wheel and bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer / odometer cal-
ibration, ground clearance to the body and chassis.
To measure the wheel runout, it is necessary to use accurate dial
indicator. The tire may be on or off the wheel. The wheel should be
installed to the wheel balancer of the like for proper measurement.
Take measurements of both lateral runout and radial runout at both
inside and outside of the rim flange. With dial indicator set in place
securely, turn the wheel one full revolution slowly and record every
reading of the indicator.
When the measured runout exceeds the specification and correc-
tion by the balancer adjustment is impossible, replace the wheel.
If the reading is affected by welding, paint or scratch, it should be
ignored.
Lateral runout limit ªaº: 1.20 mm (0.047 in.)
Radial runout limit ªbº: 1.20 mm (0.047 in.)
METRIC LUG NUTS AND WHEEL STUDS
All models use metric lug nuts and wheel studs (size M12 x 1.25).

TIRE
MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING
Use tire changing machine to mount or demount tires. Follow equip-
ment manufacturer's instructions. Do not use hand tools or tire
irons alone to change tires as they may damage tire beads or wheel
rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with wire brush or coarse steel
wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and light rust. Before mount-
ing or demounting tire, bead area should be well lubricated with ap-
proved tire lubricant.
After mounting, inflate to 240 kPa (35psi) so that beads are com-
pletely seated. Then adjust pressure to specified shown an tire
placard.
WARNING:
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead may break when
bead snaps over rim's safety hump and cause serious per-
sonal injury.
Do not exceed 240 kPa (35 psi) pressure when inflating. If
240 kPa (35 psi) pressure will not seat beads, deflate, re-lu-
bricate and reinflate. Over inflation may cause bead to break
and cause serious personal injury.
Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
TIRE REPAIR
There are many different materials and techniques on the market
to repair tires. As not all of these work on all types of tires, tire
manufacturers have published detailed instructions on how and
when to repair tires. These instructions can be obtained from the
tire manufacturer.

LINE PRESSURE TEST
Purpose of this test is to check operating conditions of each part by
measuring fluid pressure in fluid pressure line. Line pressure test
requires following conditions.

Automatic fluid is at normal operating temperature (70 to 80C /
158 ± 176F).

Fluid is filled to proper level (between FULL HOT and LOW HOT
on dipstick).
1) Apply parking brake securely and place checks against wheels.
2) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pressure check hole in trans-
mission case.
Special Tool
(A): 09925-37810
CAUTION:
After attaching oil pressure gauge, check that not fluid
leakage exists.
3) Depress foot brake fully, run engine at idle and stall and then
check fluid pressure in ªDº or ªRº range.
CAUTION:
Do not continue running engine at stall speed longer than
5 seconds.
