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 slide block which maintains column
rigidity. Leaning on the column assembly could
cause the jacket to bend or deform. Any of the above
damage could impair the column's collapsible
design. If it is necessary to remove the steering
wheel, use only the specified steering wheel puller.
Under no conditions should the end of the shaft be
hammered upon, as hammering could loosen the
slide block which maintains column rigidity.Removal
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle's wheels
are pointing straight ahead.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ªLOCKº.
3. Disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait at least
5 minutes.
4. Disconnect the yellow 2-way SRS connector located
under the steering column.

Installation
1. Install steering wheel by aligning the setting marks
made when removing.
CAUTION: Never apply force to the steering wheel
shaft using a hammer or other impact tools in an
attempt to remove the steering wheel. The steering
shaft is designed as an energy absorbing unit.
2. Tighten the steering wheel fixing nut to the specified
torque.
Torque: 34 N´m (25 lb ft)
3. Connect horn lead.
4. Support the module and carefully connect the SRS
connector.
NOTE: Pass the lead wire through the tabs on the plastic
cover (wire protector) of inflator to prevent lead wire from
being pinches.
5. Tighten bolts to specified torque.
Torque: 9 N´m (78 lb in)
6. Connect the yellow 2-way SRS connector located
under the steering column.
7. Connect the battery ª±º terminal cable.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the ªONº position and
observe the warning lamp. The lamp should flash 7
times. If the lamp does not operate correctly, refer to
Restraints section.

straight ahead and the steering column in the
ªLOCKº position before disconnecting the steering
wheel. Failure to do so will cause the coil assembly
to become uncentered which will cause damage to
the coil assembly.
5. Remove the engine hood opening lever, then remove
instrument panel lower cover.
6. Remove the driver knee bolster (reinforcement).
