REMOVAL
1. Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position.
2. Remove driver air bag module. Refer to SR-11, "Removal and Installation"
.
3. Disconnect the harness connectors from clipping locations.
4. Remove steering wheel lock nut.
5. Remove steering wheel using suitable tool (A). NOTE:
When reconnecting spiral cable, fix cable with a tape so that fix-
ing case and rotating part keep aligned. This will omit neutral
position alignment procedure during spiral cable installation.
INSTALLATION
1. Ensure spiral cable locating pin (white rubber pin) is in the 12 o’clock position.
2. Install the steering wheel to the steering column assembly. NOTE:
1. Driver air bag module 2. Steering wheel

STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE
2. Install large end (1) of boot (2) to gear housing assembly.
3. Install small end (3) of boot (2) to inner socket boot mounting groove.
4. Install boot clamp to boot small end.
5. Install boot clamp to boot large end using Tool. CAUTION:
Do not reuse boot clamps.
6. Adjust inner socket to standard length (L), and then tighten lock nut to the specified torque. Check length of inner socket (L)
again after tightening lock nut. Make sure that the length is the
standard.
CAUTION:
Adjust toe-in after this proced ure. The length achieved after
toe-in adjustment is not necessarily the above value.

System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009461224
The starter motor plunger closes and provides a closed circuit between the battery and the starter motor. The
starter motor is grounded to the cylinder block. With power and ground supplied, the starter motor operates.
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000009461225
AWBIA1774GB
Component part Description
Transmission range switch Transmission range switch supplies power to the starter relay and
starter control relay inside the IPDM E/R when the shift selector is
placed in the P or N position.
BCM BCM controls the starter relay inside IPDM E/R.
IPDM E/R CPU inside IPDM E/R controls the starter control relay.
Starter motor The starter motor plunger closes and the motor is supplied with
battery power, which in turn cranks the engine, when the “S” ter-
minal is supplied with electric power.
