Column Universal Joint (between the
power steering unit and the steering shaft)
If the resistance is felt when checked by rotate the joint,
replace the lower second steering shaft.
Shaft Universal Joint (between the lower
second steering shaft and the second
steering shaft)
If the resistance is felt when checked by rotate the joint,
replace the second steering shaft assembly.
Tilt Mechanism
Tilt mechanism should moves smoothly.
While locked the tilt mechanism, be sure the steering
column latch securely by pushing the steering wheel
upward and downward.
Installation
1. Align the setting marks on the second steering shaft
and the steering column assembly (applied at
disassembly).
2. Connect the steering column assembly to the second
steering shaft. Tighten the bolts to the specified
torque.
Torque: 26 - 36 N
m (2.7 – 3.7 kg
m/20 - 27 lb ft)
3. Thread the steering column assembly through the
hole in the dashpanel. Temporarily tighten the
steering column and the second steering shaft fixing
bolt.
4. Connect the lower second steering shaft and the
second steering shaft. Tighten the universal joint
bolts to the specified torque.
Torque: 26 - 36 N
m (2.7 – 3.7 kg
m/20 - 27 lb ft)
5. Tighten the steering column fixing bolt (pedal brkt
side) to the specified torque (This bolt was
temporarily tighten in Step 3).
Torque: 18 -23 N
m (1.8 – 2.3 kg
m/13 - 17 lb ft)
6. Tighten the second steering shaft fixing bolt to the
specified torque (This bolt was temporarily tightened
in Step 3)
Torque: 18 -23 N
m (1.8 – 2.3 kg
m/13 - 17 lb ft)
7. Tighten the steering column fixing bolt (dashpanel
side) to the specified torque (This bolt was
temporarily tighten in Step 3).
Torque: 18 -23 N
m (1.8 – 2.3 kg
m/13 - 17 lb ft)
8. Install combination switch and SRS coil assembly.
After installation of combination switch assembly,
connect the combination switch wiring harness
connector and the SRS 2-way connector located
under the steering column.

9. Turn the SRS coil counter clockwise to full, return
about 3 turns and align the neutral mark. (with SRS
air bag)
CAUTION: When turning the SRS coil counte
r
clockwise to full, stop turning if resistance is felt.
Forced further turning may damage to the cable in

11. Install steering wheel and align the setting marks
made when removing.
Refer to the adjustment method in case a mark is
not attached in this section.
NOTE: Confirm SRS and Horn harness connector is
fixed by the steering wheel.
RTW33BSH000601
CAUTION: Never apply force to the steering wheel in
direction of the shaft by using a hammer or othe
r
impact tools in an attempt to remove the steering
wheel. The steering shaft is designed as an energy
absorbing unit.
12. Tighten the steering wheel fixing nut to the specified
torque.
Torque: 31 - 39 N
m (3.2 – 4.0 kg
m/23 - 29 lb ft)
13. Support the module and carefully connect the
module connector and horn lead, then install inflato
r
module.
NOTE: Pass the lead wire through the tabs on the
plastic cover (wire protector) of inflator to prevent lead
wire from being pinched.
14. Tighten bolts to specified torque.
Torque: 2 - 4 N
m (0.2 – 0.4 kg
m/17 - 35 lb in)
15. Install driver knee bolster (reinforcement).
16. Install instrument panel lower cover.
17. Install the engine hood opening lever.
18. Connect the yellow 2-way SRS connector and horn
lead located under the steering column.
19. Connect the battery "-" terminal cable. (with SRS ai
r
bag)
