• Do not disassemble the spiral cable.
• Do not allow oil, grease or water to co me in contact with the spiral cable.
• Replace the spiral cable if it has b een dropped or sustained an impact.
• With the steering linkage disconn ected, the spiral cable may snap by turning the steering wheel
beyond the limited number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned counterclockwise about 2.5 turns
from the neutral position.
1. Set the front wheels to the straight-ahead/neutral position.
2. Disconnect the negative and positive battery term inals, then wait at least three minutes.
3. Remove the steering wheel. Refer to PS-7, "
Removal and Installation".
4. Remove the column cover upper and lower.
5. Disconnect wiper and washer switch connector (1). Then while pressing tabs (2), pull wiper and washer switch away from spiral
cable to remove.

and in the neutral position. The neutra l position is detected by turn-
ing left 2.5 revolutions from the right end position, ending with the
locating pin (A) at the top. Place steering wheel in straight ahead
position, then install it with the locating pin hole (C) directly over
spiral cable locating pin.
