POWER-ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM 3B-29
Removal
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle's wheels
are pointing straight ahead.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK".
3. Disconnect the battery "-" terminal cable, and wait at least 5 minutes (with SRS air bag).
4. Disconnect the yellow 2-way SRS connector located under the steering column (with SRS air bag).
CAUTION: The wheels of the vehicle must be
straight ahead and the steering column in the
"LOCK" position before disconnecting the steering
wheel. Failure to do so will cause the coil assembly
to lose its centering which will cause damage to the
coil assembly (with SRS air bag).
5. Disable the SRS (Refer to "Disabling the SRS" in this section) (with SRS air bag).
6. Check the holes on both sides of the steering cove
r
(with SRS air bag).

7. Check the position of the pins in their holes. Push
the pin in the direction of the arrow (with SRS ai
r
bag).
