To avoid confusion while calculating bearing shims, it is absolutely
necessary to stay with the metric system. If you measure anything
in inches,the results must be converted to the metric system.
Drive Pinion Height
1. First prepare Tools for pinion height adjustment.

Differential Case Ð 4-pinion type Ð
1. Measure clearance between side gear thrust washer and dif-
ferential case.
Clearance between side gear thrust washer
and differential case (A Ð B):
0.15 - 0.20 mm (0.0059 - 0.0079 in)
The clearance can be adjusted with side gear thrust washer.
Refer to SDS.
2. Apply oil to gear tooth surfaces and thrust surfaces and check
that they turn properly.
3. Install differential case LH and RH.
4. Place differential case on ring gear.
5. Apply locking sealer to ring gear bolts, and install them.
Tighten bolts in a criss-cross fashion, lightly tapping bolt head
with a hammer.
6. Press-®t side bearing inner races on differential case with Tool.

Differential Case Ð 2-pinion type Ð
1. Install side gears, pinion mate gears and thrust washers into
differential case.
2. Fit pinion mate shaft to differential case so that it meets lock pin
holes.
3. Adjust backlash between side gear and pinion mate gear by
selecting side gear thrust washer. Refer to SDS.
Backlash between side gear and pinion mate gear
(Clearance between side gear thrust washer and dif-
ferential case):
0.15 - 0.20 mm (0.0059 - 0.0079 in)
4. Install pinion mate shaft lock pin with a punch.
Make sure lock pin is ¯ush with case.
5. Apply gear oil to gear tooth surfaces and thrust surfaces and
make sure they turn properly.
6. Install differential case assembly on ring gear.

Installation Ð Air Bag Module and Spiral Cable
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 about 2.5 revolutions
from the right end position. Align the two marks (
,
m).
CAUTION:
+The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the
cable is installed in an improper position.
+Also, 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 to the left
about 2.5 turns from the right end position.
3. Connect and lock spiral cable connector and tighten with
screws. Install steering column cover.
4. Install steering wheel, aligning with spiral cable pin guides, and
pull spiral cable through.
5. Connect horn connector and engage spiral cable with pawls in
steering wheel. Move air bag module connector away from
steering wheel lower lid opening.
6. Tighten nut.
:29-39Nzm (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
7. Position air bag module and tighten with new special bolts.
8. Connect air bag module connector.
9. Install all lids.
10. Conduct self-diagnosis to ensure entire SRS operates properly.
(Use CONSULT or warning lamp check.)
Before performing self-diagnosis, connect both battery cables.
11. 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 air bag 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 CONSULT or warn-
ing lamp). If a malfunction is detected, replace the spiral cable
with a new one.
12. Perform self-diagnosis again to check that no malfunction is
detected.
Installation Ð Front Passenger Air Bag Module
+Always work from the side of air bag module.
1. Install front passenger air bag module on steering member.
+Ensure harness is not caught between rear of air bag module
and steering member.
2. Connect in¯ator connector to body harness connector.
3. Install in¯ator connector on steering member.
