General Description
Steering Wheel and Column ConstructionS6RW0D6201001
This double tube type steering column has the following three important features in addition to the steering function:
• The column is energy absorbing, designed 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 operations can be locked to inhibit theft of the vehicle.
To insure the energy absorbing action, it is important that 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 other than the recommended puller in
this manual or a sharp blow on the end of the steering shaft, leaning on the assembly, or dropping the assembly 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 bags. 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”.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Checking Steering Column for Accident
Damage
S6RW0D6204001
NOTE
Vehicles involved in accidents resulting in
body damage, where steering column has
been impacted or air bag deployed may have
a damaged or misaligned steering column.

• Check that two capsules (1) are attached to steering
column bracket securely. If found loose, replace
steering column assembly.
• Take measurement “a”, “b” and “c” as follows.
If it is shorter than specified length, replace steering
column assembly or steering lower shaft with new
one.
Steering column length
“a”: 339 ± 2 mm (13.3 ± 0.08 in.)
“b”: 59.5 ± 2.1 mm (2.4 ± 0.08 in.)
Steering lower shaft length
“c”: 348 ± 1 mm (13.7 ± 0.04 in.)• Check that there is no axial looseness “d” and no
axially-vertical looseness “e” for steering column
shaft.
If found defective, replace steering column assembly
with new one.
• Check steering shaft joints and shaft for any damages
such as crack, breakage, malfunction or excessive
play.
If anything is found faulty, replace as lower shaft
assembly or steering column assembly.
• Check steering shaft for smooth rotation.
If found defective, replace as steering column
assembly.
• Check steering shaft and steering column for bend,
cracks or deformation.
If found defective, replace.

Steering Wheel Removal and InstallationS6RW0D6206002
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.

Centering Contact Coil Cable AssemblyS6RW0D6206004
1) Check that vehicle’s wheels (front tires) are set at
straight-ahead position.
2) Check that ignition switch is at LOCK position.
3) Turn contact coil counterclockwise slowly with a light
force till contact coil will not turn any further.
NOTE
Contact coil can turn about 5 turns at the
maximum, that is, if it is at the center
position, can turn about two and a half turns
both clockwise and counterclockwise.

4) From the position where contact coil became unable
to turn any further (it stopped), turn it back clockwise
about two and a half rotations and align center mark
with alignment mark (1).
Contact Coil Cable Assembly InspectionS6RW0D6206005
Refer to “Contact Coil Cable and Its Circuit Check in
Section 8B”.
Steering Column Removal and InstallationS6RW0D6206008
CAUTION!
Once the steering column is removed from
the vehicle, the column is extremely
susceptible to damage.
• Dropping the column assembly on its end
could collapse the steering shaft or loosen
the plastic shear pins which maintain
column length.
• Leaning on the column assembly could
cause it to bend or deform.
Any of the damage could impair the column’s
collapsible design.
Steering column mounting nuts should not
be loosened with steering shaft joint upper
side bolt tightened as this could cause
damage to shaft joint bearing.

NOTE
When servicing steering column or any
column-mounted component, remove
steering wheel. But when removing steering
column simply to gain access to instrument
panel components, leave steering wheel
installed on steering column.
