SPIRAL CABLE
• Do not strike or drop the spiral cable.
• Replace the spiral cable if it has been dropped or sus-
tained an impact.
• Do not disassemble the spiral cable.
• Do not allow oil, grease, detergent or water to come in contact with the spiral cable.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• The turn signal lever must be in the neutral position for spiral cable installation.
• Set the spiral cable (1) neutral position by carefully turning the spi-
ral cable (1) clockwise to the end position. Turn the spiral cable (1)
counterclockwise 2.5 turns stopping when the locating pin (C) is at
the top most position, the triangl es (A) are pointing at each other
as shown and the clear window (B) appears white.
NOTE:
If a service part is installed, the neutral position is already set with
a stopper clip in place and should not be adjusted after the stopper
clip is removed. Make sure the stopper is removed before installing
the steering wheel (2).
• During steering wheel (2) installation, make sure the locating pin hole (D) is aligned with the locating pin (C) of the spiral cable (1).
• Perform the neutral position adjustment for the steering angle sen-
sor. Refer to BRC-58, "Work Procedure"
.
CAUTION:
• The spiral cable may snap during steering operation if the spiral cable is installed in an improper
position.
• Do not overturn the spiral cable or go beyond the maximum number of turns allowed. This will cause
the cable to snap.
• The turn signal lever must be in the ne utral position for spiral cable installation.
• Do not apply lubricant to the spiral cable.
• Do not allow oil, grease, detergent or water to come in contact with the spiral cable.
• After the work is completed, check that no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning lamp.
• If a malfunction is detected by the air bag warnin g lamp after repair or replacement of the malfunc-
tioning parts, perform the SRS final check. Refer to SRC-17, "SRS Final Check"
.

On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of CVT and EngineINFOID:0000000009463958
The TCM and ECM have an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to
warn the driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and di sconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal
before any repair or inspection work. The open/s hort circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid
valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
• Be sure to connect and lock the connectors secure ly after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
• Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.
• Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly afte r work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.
• Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction informa tion (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check oil pan for foreign material.
• If a large amount of worn material is found, clutch plate may be worn.
• If iron powder is found, bearings, gears, or clutch plates may be worn.
• If aluminum powder is found, bushing may be worn, or ch ips or burrs of aluminum casting parts may enter.
Check points where wear is found in all cases.
