Before removing the steering wheel and air bag module assembly, always refer to GROUP 52B -
Service Precautions (P.52B-16), Air bag Module and Clock Spring (P.52B-237). Also, set the front
wheels so that they are facing straight forward, and remove the ignition key. If you fail to do this,
the SRS clock spring will be damaged, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative and serious
injury.

3. Check the connector for damage and deformed terminals,
and check the harness for binding.
4. Check the air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or
deformation.
5. Check the harness (built into the steering wheel) and
connectors for damage, and check the terminals for
deformation.
6. Check the clock spring connectors and protective tube for
damage, and terminals for deformities.
7. Visually check the case for damage.
If the clock spring's mating mark is not properly
aligned, the steering wheel may not completely rotate
during turn, or the flat cable within the clock spring
may be severed, obstructing normal operation of the
SRS and possibly lead to serious injury to the vehi-
cle's driver and front passenger.
8. Align the mating marks of the clock spring first. After turning
the front wheels to the straight-ahead position, install the
clock spring to the column.
Mating Marks Alignment;
After turning the clock spring fully clockwise, turn it
approximately 3 3/4 turns counterclockwise until the mating
marks are aligned.
9. Install the steering column covers, steering wheel and air
bag module (Refer to GROUP 52B, Air Bag Module and
Clock Spring P.52B-237).
10.Check the steering wheel for noise, binding or difficult
operation.

20. TYRES (ROTATE)M1001008900303
Rotate tyres regularly to equalize tyre wear and help extend
tyre life. Recommended tyre rotation is every 12,000 km under
normal driving conditions and every 9,600 km in severe driving
conditions.
Timing for the rotation may vary according to vehicle condition,
road surface conditions, and individual driver's habits.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear, damage, and
wheel alignment. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect
tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out-of balance
wheels, or severe braking.
The first rotation is the most important, to achieve more uniform
wear for all tyres on the vehicle.
