Precautions
Precautions for Steering DiagnosisS7RS0B6100001
Since the problems in steering involve several systems, they must all be considered when diagnosing a complaint. To
avoid using the wrong symptom, always road test the vehicl e first. Proceed with the following preliminary inspection
and correct any defects which are found.
1) Inspect tires for proper pressure and uneven wear.
2) Raise vehicle on a hoist and inspect steering system for loose or damaged parts.
3) Spin front wheels. Inspect for out-of-round tires, out- of-balance tires, bent rims, loosen and/or rough wheel
bearings.

General Description
Steering Wheel and Column ConstructionS7RS0B6201001
This double tube type steering column has the following three important features in addition to the steering function:
• The column is energy absorbing, desig ned to compress in a front-end collision.
• The ignition switch and lock are mounted conveniently on this column.
• With the column mounted lock, the ignition and steering op erations can be locked to inhibit theft of the vehicle.
To insure the energy absorbing action, it is important th at only the specified screws, bolts and nuts be used as
designated, and that they are tightened to the specified torque. When the column assembly is removed from the
vehicle, special care must be taken in handling it. Use of a steering wheel puller or a sharp blow on the end of the
steering shaft, leaning on the assembly, or dropping the a ssembly could shear the plastic shear pins which maintain
column length and position.
The driver air bag (inflator) module is one of the supplemental restraint (air bag) system components and is mounted
to the center of the steering wheel. During certain frontal crashes, the air bag system supplements the restraint of the
driver’s and passenger’s seat belts by deploying the air b ags. The air bag (inflator) module should be handled with
care to prevent accidental deployment. When servicing, be sure to observe “Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of
Air Bag System in Section 8B”.

Steering Wheel Removal and InstallationS7RS0B6206002
CAUTION!
Do not turn the contact coil more than
allowable number of turns (about two and a
half turns from the center position clockwise
or counterclockwise respectively) with
steering wheel removed, or coil will break.

Removal
CAUTION!
Do not hammer the end of the shaft.
Hammering it will loosen the plastic shear
pins which maintain the column length and
impair the collapsible design of the column.

1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Disable air bag system referring to “Disabling Air
Bag System in Section 8B”.
3) Remove driver air bag (inflator) module from steering wheel. Refer to “Driver Air Bag (Inflator)
Module Removal and Installation in Section 8B”.
4) Disconnect horn connector and audio control switch connector, if equipped.

during reinstallation.
6) Remove steering wheel using special tool. Special tool
(A): 09944–36011 Installation
CAUTION!
Following 2 Steps (Step 1) and 2)) are
prerequisite for installation of steering wheel.
If steering wheel has
been installed without
these 2 Steps, contact coil will break when
steering wheel is turned.

1) Check that vehicle’s front tires are at straight-ahead position and contact coil is centered. If contact coil is
turned after removing steering wheel, center contact
coil referring to “Centering Contact Coil Cable
Assembly”.
