• Do not apply lubricant to the spiral cable.
8. Remove the spiral cable connectors. CAUTION:
With the steering linkage di sconnected, the spiral cable
may snap by turning the steer ing wheel beyond the limited
number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned counter-
clockwise about 2.5 turns fr om the neutral position.
9. Remove the steering angle sensor from the spiral cable. Refer to BRC-118, "

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Align spiral cable correctly when installing steering wheel. Make
sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position. The neutral
position is detected by turning left 2.5 revolutions from the right
end position and ending with the knob at the top.
• If equipped with VDC, refer to BRC-8, "
ADJUSTMENT OF STEER-
ING ANGLE SENSOR NEUTRAL POSITION : Special Repair

FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULE
FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULE
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000005147759
The passenger air bag module originally installed in the vehicle uses direct-connect style harness connectors.
Service replacement passenger air bag modules use tab-locking style harness connectors. If the passenger
air bag module is replaced or if the direct-connect harness connectors are damaged, the vehicle wiring har-
ness must be modified to allow connection of the service replacement passenger air bag module. Follow the
wiring harness modification procedure within this section.
REMOVAL
CAUTION:
• Do not attempt to repair or replace damaged di rect-connect front passenger air bag module connec-
tors. If a direct-connect harness connector is damaged, the front passenger air bag must be
replaced and the wiri ng harness modified.
• Before servicing SRS, turn the ig nition switch off, disconnect both battery terminals and wait at least
three minutes.
• Always work from the side of or under front passenger air bag module.
1. Disconnect both the negative and positive battery terminals, then wait at least three minutes.
2. Remove the glove box. Refer to IP-17, "
Exploded View".
3. Remove two nuts (through glove box opening) retaining front passenger air bag module to instrument panel crossmember.
4. Disconnect the air bag module electrical connectors. • For removal/installation of the direct-connect SRS connectors, refer to SRC-9, "
Direct-connect SRS
Component Connectors".
5. Remove the instrument panel assembly from the vehicle. Refer to IP-12, "
Removal and Installation".
6. Remove front passenger air bag module nuts and remove air bag module from the instrument panel assembly.
CAUTION:
• When servicing the SRS, do not work from directly in front of
air bag module.
• Always place front passenger air bag module with caution label side facing upward.
• Do not insert any foreign object s (screwdriver, etc.) into air
bag module or harness connectors.
• Do not disassemble air bag module.
• Do not use old nuts after removal; replace with new nuts.
• Do not expose the front passenger air bag module to tempera- tures exceeding 90 °C (194 °F).

• Replace the air bag module if it has been dropped or sus-
tained an impact.
• Do not allow oil, grease or water to come in contact with the
air bag module.
• For removal/installation of the direct-connect SRS connec- tors, refer to SRC-9, "
Direct-connect SRS Component Con-
nectors".
INSTALLATION
Original Passenger Air Bag Module
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• For removal and installation of the direct-connect SRS connectors, refer to SRC-9, "
Direct-connect SRS
Component Connectors".
CAUTION:
• Always work from the side of or under front passenger air bag module.
• After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosi s to check that no malfunction is detected. Refer
to SRC-13, "
SRS Operation Check".
Service Replacement Passenger Air Bag Module
1. Install the front passenger air bag module to the instrument
panel pad assembly.
2. Install the instrument panel assembly. Refer to IP-12, "
Removal and Installation".
3. Connect the front passenger air bag module harness connector to yellow 4-pin service replacement air bag connector and fasten connector to mounting bracket.
CAUTION:
• Always work from the side of or under front passenger air bag module.
• After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosi s to check that no malfunction is detected. Refer
to SRC-13, "
SRS Operation Check".
WIRING HARNESS MODIFICATION
The passenger air bag module originally installed in t he vehicle uses direct-connect style harness connectors.
Service replacement passenger air bag modules use t ab-locking style harness connectors. If the passenger
air bag module is replaced or if the direct-connect harness connectors are damaged, the vehicle wiring har-
ness must be modified to allow connection of t he service replacement passenger air bag module.
NOTE:
The wiring harness modification is to be performed only if the vehicle is equipped with the original passenger
air bag which uses direct-connect harness connectors. If the passenger air bag is to be replaced in a vehicle
that has already had the service replacement passenger air bag installed, the wiring harness modification is
not required.
CAUTION:
• Do not attempt to repair or replace damaged dir ect-connect front passenger air bag module connec-
tors. If a direct-connect harness connector is damaged, the front passenger air bag must be
replaced and the wiri ng harness modified.
• Before servicing SRS, turn the igni tion switch off, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3
minutes.
