REMOVAL
CAUTION:
• Before servicing, turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery terminals and wait at least
three minutes.
• Do not use air tools or electric tools for servicing.
1. Disconnect both the negative and positive battery terminal s, then wait at least three minutes. Refer to PG-
73, "Removal and Installation (Battery)".
2. Remove the steering column covers. Refer to IP-17, "Removal and Installation"
.
3. Rotate steering wheel clockwise to access first combination switch bolt and remove.
4. Rotate steering wheel counter-clockwise to access second combination switch bolt and remove.
5. Disconnect the harness connector from the combination switch and remove.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• After the work is completed, make sure no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning lamp.
• In case a malfunction is detected by the air bag wa rning lamp, reset with the self-diagnosis function
and delete the memory with CONSULT.
• If a malfunction is still detected after the above operation, perform self-diagnosis to repair malfunc-

CAUTION:
• All hoses and piping (tubes) must be fr ee from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
• Make sure there is no interference with other pa rts when turning steering both clockwise and coun-
terclockwise.
• The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble the
parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
• Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• After installation of the ABS actuator and electri c unit (control unit), refill brake system with new
brake fluid. Then bleed the ai r from the system. Refer to BR-14, "Bleeding Brake System"
.
