Installation
Before installing the steering wheel, make sure the front wheels are aligned straight ahead.
Set the turn signal canceling sleeve (A) so that the projections (B) are aligned vertically.
Carefully install the cable reel (C) on the steering column
shaft. Then connect cable reel connector A (20P) on the dashboard wire
harness and cable reel connector B (4P) on the dashboard wire harness to
the cable reel.
Install the upper and lower column covers.
Before installing the steering wheel, make sure the front wheels
are pointing straight ahead, then center the cable reel (A). Do this by
first rotating the cable reel clockwise until it stops. Then rotate it
counterclockwise about three full turns. The arrow mark (B) on the cable
reel label should point straight up.
Position the two tabs (A) of the turn signal canceling sleeve (B)
as shown. Install the steering wheel on to the steering column shaft,
making sure the steering wheel hub (C) engages the pins (D) of the cable
reel and tabs of the turn signal canceling sleeve. Do not tap on the
steering wheel or steering column shaft when installing the steering
wheel.
Install the steering wheel bolt (A), and tighten it to the
specified torque. Connect cable reel connector C (20P) on the cable reel
subharness to the cable reel (B). Make sure the wire harness is routed
and fastened properly.
Install the driver's airbag.
Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure.
Clear any DTCs with the HDS.
After installing the cable reel, confirm proper system operation:
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.
Make sure the horn and turn signal switches works properly.
Make sure the steering wheel switches works properly.
Make sure the horn works properly.
After installation, check the steering wheel spoke angle. If the
steering spoke angles to the right and left are not equal (steering
wheel is not centered), correct the engagement of the wheel/column shaft
splines.
