INSTALLATION
1. Set the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
2. Make sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position.
The neutral position is detected by turning left (counterclock-
wise) about 2.5 revolutions from the right end position. Align the
two marks (
).
CAUTION:
IThe spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the
cable is installed in an improper position.
IAlso, with the steering linkage disconnected, the cable
may snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited
number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned up to
about 2.5 turns from the neutral position to both the right
and left.
3. Connect spiral cable connector and tighten with screws.
4. Install steering column covers. And make sure the harness do
not get caught between inner steering cover and steering col-
umn.
5. Install steering wheel, aligning with spiral cable pin guides, and
pull spiral cable through.
6. Connect horn connector (or horn/audio connector) and engage
spiral cable with pawls in steering wheel. Move driver air bag
module connector away from steering wheel lower lid opening.
7. Tighten nut.
:30-40N×m (3.1 - 4.1 kg-m, 22 - 30 ft-lb)
8. Position driver air bag module and tighten with new special
bolts.
9. Connect driver air bag module connector and diagnosis sensor
unit connector.
10. Install steering switches and lids.
11. Conduct self-diagnosis to ensure entire SRS operates properly.
(Use CONSULT-II or warning lamp check.)
Before performing self-diagnosis, connect both battery cables.
12. Turn steering wheel to the left end and then to the right end fully
to make sure that spiral cable is set in the neutral position.
If ªAIR BAGº warning lamp blinks or stays ON (at the user
mode), it shows the spiral cable may be snapped due to its
improper position. Perform self-diagnosis again (use CON-
SULT-II or warning lamp). If a malfunction is detected, replace
the spiral cable with a new one.
13. Perform self-diagnosis again to check that no malfunction is
detected.

Inspection and Adjustment
STEERING GEAR PRELOAD
Measure preload in worm gear.
1. Mount steering gear to Tool (KV48100301) and place it in a
vise, as shown in the illustration.
2. Turn worm gear several times by hand completely to the left
and right (full lock to lock).
3. Measure preload at 360É from straight-ahead position.
a. Turn worm gear counterclockwise until full lock position.
Then turn clockwise more than two turns until the straight-
ahead position.
Straight-ahead position is the position where the two mat-
ing marks are in line (approx. 765É from full lock position).
b. Turn worm gear one full turn (360É) clockwise and measure
total preload at this position.
c. Turn worm gear two full turns (720É) counterclockwise and
measure total preload.
Total preload at 360É from straight-ahead position:
: 0.4 - 1.2 N×m (0.04 - 0.12 kg-m, in-lb)
4. Measure total preload at straight-ahead position.
a. Place worm gear in straight-ahead position. See step 3.a.
b. Measure total preload in straight-ahead position.
Total preload at straight-ahead position:
: 0.6 - 1.6 N×m (0.06 - 0.16 kg-m,5-14in-lb)
5. If either one of the above measured values are not within
specifications, adjust total preload by turning sector shaft
adjusting screw. Tighten adjusting screw lock nut with tools.
Lock nut:
