NOTE
Before servicing, or working around, the SRS system, turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least three minutes. When servicing, or working around, the SRS system do not work directly in front of the air bag module.

NOTE
The rotation of the spiral cable is limited. If the steering gear must be removed position the front wheels in the straight ahead position. Do not rotate the steering column while the steering gear is removed from the vehicle.

NOTE
Remove the steering wheel before removing the steering column lower joint to avoid damaging the SRS spiral cable.

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. 
   
3. Position the front wheels in the straight ahead position.
4. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Disconnect the positive battery cable.
5. Remove the driver-s side air bag module. Remove the steering wheel.
6. Remove the steering column covers.
7. Remove the lower instrument panel. Disconnect the security lamp indicator.

To install:

1. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
2. 
   
3. Be sure the front wheels are in the straight position.
4. Be sure to align the spiral cable correctly when installing the steering wheel. Make sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position.
   NOTE
   The neutral position is detected by turning to the left 2.5 revolutions from the right end position and ending with the knob at the top. The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the cable is installed incorrectly. Also, with the steering linkage disconnected the cable may snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited number of turns (2.5 from the neutral position to both the left and right).
   
5. When reinstalling the air bag module, be sure to use new bolts. Tighten the bolts to 8 ft. lbs.
6. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON and make sure that the air bag warning lamp blinks.
7. Check the tilt device and its operational range.
